FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Can we use Conditional Orders for free?
Yes. Stop Limit and Limit-if-Touched are available on FirstMetroSec NEW, GO, and PRO, while Order-Cancels-Other and Order-Triggers-Other are available on PRO only.

What happens once my Conditional Order gets triggered?
Once your conditional order has been triggered, the resulting limit order will be posted. It has to be filled until the remaining time/days of your trigger expiry.
