Order types and Order handling

Algorithmic orders provide clients with the opportunity to trade through various strategies.

The following algorithmic order types are offered:

  • Iceberg
  • Price Peg
  • TWAP
  • Target Close
  • VWAP
  • With Volume

Stop and Stop-Limit orders are subject to support by the exchange on which the contract is traded. The order types available are noted in the pop-up details for each contract. When Stop orders and Stop-Limit orders are not supported by the exchange, Saxo Markets offers the possibility to execute stop orders through synthetic stop orders where your order is triggered if the underlying is traded at least for one lot.

Please be aware that a Stop order on any of the CME group exchanges will change duration to a Day Order if triggered. If not filled by end of day, the order will expire.

Partial fills may occur on Limit orders and the remaining amount stays in the market as a Limit order and may be filled within the order duration. Market orders can be filled at numerous levels, the price paid will be the volume weighted average price of all the fills.

With Saxo Markets you avoid physical delivery of the underlying asset on expiry of a futures contract, which is not supported. Therefore, we advise you to take note of the expiry and first notice dates (FND) of any futures contracts in which you have positions and ensure they are closed before the appropriate day, as described below.

For some contracts, the FND which Saxo Markets utilises could be several days earlier than the FND provided by the relevant exchange. Please always refer to the trading conditions displayed on the contract in the trading platform as well as the trade ticket to see specifications for each contract before trading.

  • If the expiry day is prior to the first notice day (FND) as utilised by Saxo Markets, the contract will be closed on the expiry day.
  • If the FND as utilised by Saxo Markets is the same or prior to the expiry day the contract will be closed the trading day prior to such FND.

If futures positions are not closed before the relevant date, Saxo Markets will close the position on your behalf at the first available opportunity at the prevailing market rate. Any resulting costs, gains or losses will be passed on to you.
