Key ideas in Stock Trading and Equity Research
- A market order guarantees immediate execution but risks severe price slippage during volatile opens.
- A limit order caps the maximum purchase price, ensuring you never pay more than your specified limit.
- The tradeoff of a limit order is non-execution if the stock trades entirely above your set price.
- Buyers purchase at the higher ask price while sellers sell at the lower bid price.
- The spread compensates the market maker and represents immediate friction on your trade.
- A wide spread means the market price must rise just to cover the initial gap to break even.
- Day orders purge at the regular market close, preventing unexpected morning executions.
- GTC orders remain open for up to 60 days on Schwab, exposing you to overnight news gaps.
- Extended-hours flags allow an order to match during pre-market and after-hours sessions.
- A standard stop-loss order converts into a market order as soon as its trigger price is touched.
- A stop-limit activates a limit order, which will not execute if the price gaps below the limit floor.
- Fast downward market gaps leave stop-limit orders stranded without filling while losses grow.
- Schwab Stock Slices restrict purchases to market orders and do not permit limit orders.
- Stock Slices are limited specifically to companies in the S&P 500 index, excluding ETFs and small caps.
- Fractional share trades through Slices execute during standard market hours through internal broker routing.
- Trading a large percentage of average daily volume moves the market price against your order.
