Any direct access brokers that have trailing/protective stops that are GTC? Other than intraday only. I was with datek/ameritrade for the last 6 years. Opened an account with MBT because of the lower fees and all the different order types. Did not realize that all the protective/trailing stops are only good for the day. Have to call in order to carry overnight? Is that standard with all the direct access brokers?
BHDS, Good news for you. We have GTC orders now but they are in beta. We have been testing for a little while and I expect them to go into production in the very near future. Please feel free to msg me if you have any questions. Regards, Steve
Who doesn't? If your on a direct access system you should have the ability to place stop GTC orders. Mine does!
OptionsXpress has GTC that is good until canceled and not some arbitrary number of bewitching days. They also have varieties of stops, trailing stops, contigent orders, OCO, etc. A contingent order is an option order triggered by price action of the underlying. One can specify a range of trading hours, bid ask last (not good idea) but not option price as a market order is created when triggered. This is a GTC, or until option expiration, order.

Regards, Steve [/QUOTE] GTC Is a most basic order type, THIS IS ANOTHER REASON why MB has lost my business. You've been advertising "GTC coming soon" for a year. Get it done. I like MB, but get moving. MB is Very slow to institute change....and GTC isn't the only thing. Name a broker that doesn't offer GTC. Don't mean to harp, Steve, but now is your chance to go after IB, as they are DEFINATELY falling in quality across all aspects. You'll really have to step up to the plate to do it, though.
