Conditional orders have two components: an order to buy or sell a stock, and a trigger that specifies the market conditions that must be met before the order is placed.
Key features

- Choose from six different order types, including falling sell (stop loss) and trailing stop orders.
- Orders remain active for 12 months.
- Easily cancel or amend your order.
- Receive an SMS or email notification when your order is received, triggered, expired or executed.
