Available for Hong Kong and US equities.  A market order is a buy or sell order to be executed immediately at current market prices. As long as there are willing sellers and buyers, market orders are filled. Market orders are therefore used when certainty of execution is a priority over price of execution. A market order is the simplest of the order types but does not provide price protection and may fill at a price far lower/higher than the current price. Your account may have insufficient funds to settle the market order and may result in a negative cash balance. 

Available for US equities only.  A limit order is an order to buy or sell a stock at a specific price or better. A buy limit order can only be executed at the limit price or lower, and a sell limit order can only be executed at the limit price or higher. A limit order is not guaranteed to execute.

 

Available for Hong Kong equities only.  Enhanced limit orders (ELO) allow matching of up to ten price queues at a time. Any unfilled Enhanced Limit Order will be put in queue as Limit Order at the same price.

Available for Hong Kong equities only.  A stop-limit order is set to sell a stock at a limit price or better when it reaches a specified price by the investor.
