Conditional orders allow you to place buy/sell orders at your desired target price when stock prices fluctuate based on predefined conditions. This helps you minimize risks and seize buying or selling opportunities during unexpected market movements.

The LO-GTC order can be activated multiple times until it reaches its expiration date or the entire order volume has been executed.
-
The sub-order created from this conditional order is a Limit Order (LO).
