Conditional Order
A conditional order is an instruction that is only executed if specific, predefined criteria are met. This could be a price level, a time condition, or even a dependency on another asset's performance.
Conditional orders allow for sophisticated strategies, such as bracket orders, which set both a profit target and a stop loss simultaneously. They provide a level of automation and precision that simple limit or market orders cannot offer.
By using conditional orders, traders can pre-plan their entire trade logic, ensuring that they act according to their plan even when they are not physically at the terminal. It is a critical tool for disciplined, professional trading.
