Meaning of GTT:
- GTT- Good Till Triggered is also called as GTC- Good Till Cancel.
- GTT or GTC means that the order you sent to the broker is placed in the order book but triggered only when a particular price is sparked.
- Trigger price specifically means a price set by an individual on any buy or sell order which will only be executed once its met.
- That trigger of price on the order will be valid for one year.
- After one year of its validity, it cannot be used anymore so an individual needs to reset it.
- When a trader wants to make sure that his purchase order does not operate at a value greater than his trigger price and his sell order does not operate at a price lower than his trigger price, he uses this order method.
- It is not essential that if the trigger value is set, it will be executed.
- Once the trigger price is set but not executed for any reason then you need to reset it because it is effective for one time only.
GTT /GTC Facts in Detail:
- Usually, it is a paid feature as granted by the brokers.
- It is accessible only during the market hours.
- It can be cancelled anytime without any restrictions.
