At PointPay, we aim to make trading easy and profitable everywhere. To help our users succeed in trading strategies, we've recently introduced several new order types, including Good Till Day (GTD). A GTD is a time-in-force order type that is placed and remains valid until it’s executed; if not, it gets canceled after the specific set timeframe. A trader can choose to cancel GTD orders at any time.
GTD orders can stay active up to 30 days, and this order is usually used by investors with long time horizons and can wait for the right timing and growth of an asset. Day traders are unlikely to use GTD orders because they want immediate trade executions based on current market patterns.
GTD Orders explained
As mentioned above, GTD types fall in the category of time-in-force orders. The time in force instruction defines the length of time a crypto order will remain active before it is executed or expires. Setting up an order according to specific time parameters allows traders to be consistent with the cryptocurrency market structures and forecasts. Suppose you are interested in an asset as a long-term investment but cannot follow its price movements daily. You can use a GTD with a limited order to buy assets at your preferred price without entering the same order requirements daily.
Let’s say an asset XYZ is currently trading at an asking price of $48.64, which you think is an overvaluation for its worth. You are willing to buy the asset for $48.00. You can set a limit price at $48.00, and by making this a GTD order, you can forget about it until it executes at the price you want if the price gets there. If it won’t, the order will be canceled automatically after some time. Risks associated with GTD orders include executing orders at inopportune moments, such as the brief price rally or temporary volatility.
Sometimes GTD is confused with Day Order types. Let’s untackle the difference! Day Orders are exactly as they sound: they will remain active for the current day and then are automatically canceled if they haven’t been filled by the end of the trading session. GTD orders stay in effect until they are filled or canceled by the trader.
Benefits of the GTD orders
Every order is executed to meet the needs of a trader's specific trading strategy. GTD orders have many benefits, including:
- Time Sensitivity
If you are going to execute big trades and don’t have the time to follow market updates daily, then a GTD order can be your best option. It will allow you to wait for your desired price and condition and execute the trade within your given timeframe. - Fewer Risks
You will not fall into the “trading on emotions” when using GTD orders and buying or selling assets under high volatility. If you have a set GTD limit order, your trades will be executed only according to your requirements; otherwise, they will be canceled.
