Trying to Minimise Your Risk in the Market?

You Really Need to Talk to Us About Order Placement

Pro Trader Securities offers a specialist general advisory service designed with the technical trader in mind. We provide conditional orders to promote good risk management for traders. Our excellent service is a very reasonably priced option between the cheaper online discount brokers and the full-service brokers. Indeed, if you compare service with service we will probably be cheaper than the online brokers!

As an example of the flexibility that a Pro Trader Securities trading account can give, let's say you wish to purchase 1000 BHP shares, this is the type of order you could place:

Buy 1000 BHP at $40.00 limit $40.25 - you are specifying the highest price you are prepared to pay
When purchased place a stop loss for 1000 BHP at $38.80 - you are limiting your losses with a stop loss order
When purchased place a sell order for 1000 BHP at $42.50 - you are taking profits
One sell order cancels the other (OCO)

So, you may specify the highest price you are willing to purchase at AND at the same time place a stop loss order to protect any adverse price move once your order is filled AND place a forward sell order to close out your position when the price hits a profit target. Our system allows you to have multiple sell orders on the same position simultaneously, one on the profit side and another limiting losses - a real smart way to trade.

All of these conditional and contingent orders may be placed at no extra cost and you have the flexibility to place your orders by phone, email or our online order system. You may modify your stops at any time for no extra cost, plus your orders will be processed by an experienced dealer/adviser not just a computer system.

When you compare our service with other providers you will soon realise what excellent value it is!

Step 3

Set a Stop Loss

We also recommend you set a stop loss when you place an order. Your adviser will sell your stock once the price has reached your stop loss price level. We believe stop losses are an essential part of managing risk in the market - why? Because we use them ourselves! Stop loss orders will be accepted on a 'non-held' basis.

Stop Loss Definition and FAQs

Stop Loss Definition

A stop loss order is an instruction requesting your stock is to be sold 'At Market' once prices have traded at your stop loss price level. You have purchased a parcel of shares at $1.50. At the time of buying this stock you decide to preserve your capital and wish to sell if prices trade at or below $1.34. Some time later the market edges down and a trade takes place at $1.34. Immediately we will place the order to sell your stock 'At Market'. This sale may be transacted as $1.34 if there are sufficient buyers at the time, however it is more likely to be done at a lower price.

Do I have to place my stop loss each day?

No you can place a GTC ('Good Till Cancelled') stop loss.

How do I instigate a 'trailing stop' loss?

You need to phone, email or use the online system to modify the order each time you wish to raise your stop.

Is there any cost changing an orders?

No.

Step 4

You can modify your order for free anytime. All you have to do at this stage is raise your stop loss price or profit target price. If things don't go as planned and the price makes an adverse move, you have protected your capital.
