Policy of Ventura Securities Limited (VSL) to handle Good Till Cancelled (GTC) or Good Till Triggered (GTT) order/s placed by clients

Certain front end terminals of VSL has facility to place orders which shall remain into system till a particular period or till it is canceled or till it is triggered and may get converted into trade/s. The extant rule of the Exchanges requires Stock Brokers to lay down a policy to handle such orders and communicate the same to their clients. The policy of VSL to handle such order is as under and it aims to appraise the clients about the functionality, validity and execution of such order:

GTT Orders functionality

GTT (Good Till Triggered) orders are branded ‘For365’ at VSL. If the order remains open, it will be automatically canceled after 365 days from the date of order placement, or expiry of the contract, whichever is earlier.

For365 order allows customers to place a buy or sell order that remains in our system in passive mode, until a specified trigger price is reached. Once the trigger price is reached, the order is placed on the exchange trading platform, subject to RMS checks such as margin required or stock availability in holdings as the case may be. 

For365 orders helps investors capture favourable market movements by avoiding a burden of constant monitoring.

For365 orders can be a single order or an OCO (One Cancels the Other) order. Under single orders, the investor is required to provide a direction (either buy or sell), a trigger price and a limit price. If the trigger price is reached, then the order is placed with the exchange trading system at the limit price.

Under OCO orders, the investor is required to provide a direction (buy or sell) and trigger price and limit prices for both legs - stop loss and target. If the trigger price for one leg is hit the order for that leg is placed with the exchange trading platform, and the other leg is automatically canceled.

Risk on Corporate Actions

When a corporate action happens, such as a stock split or a bonus or a merger or a significant dividend announcement etc., it can alter the stock’s price as well as its derivatives price substantially. If a For365 order is in place for that stock, the trigger price may become absurd, due to the new price levels created by the corporate action. This could result in the order getting placed on the exchange and getting executed at an unintended price, resulting in a loss to the client.

Corporate actions that impact the price could be dividends, splits, bonus, mergers, acquisition, rights issues, spin-off, carve outs, demerger, capital reduction, buy-backs, OFS etc.There doesn't appear to be a corporate action that will not impact price. 

Handling of pending orders in the event of corporate announcement?

• All For365 pending orders placed by customers in the stock or F&O contract where corporate action is declared, would be cancelled except for “Dividends” as corporate action. It is the considered opinion of VSL that the Dividend announcement may not impact the price of the stock substantially and cancelling the order of the client due to such announcement may not be in the interest of the client.

1. All pending orders cancellation communication would be sent via email to respective customers @4 PM, 2 days prior to ex-date

• This impending order cancellation information would also be displayed on App and Web on dashboard as notification.

1. The orders would be cancelled @11:30 PM one day prior to ex-date and fresh orders placement in that stock or F&O contract will not be allowed post 11:30 PM.

• Fresh order placement will be reactivated @9:15 AM on ex-date

For Example: If Stock “x” declared bonus and ex-date is 18th August 2024. Those customers having For365 pending orders in that stock would receive a communication about order cancellation @4 PM on 16th August 2024 (including Sunday’s Or Holidays). All pending orders would be canceled @11:30 PM on 17th August 2024 and no fresh orders would be allowed post 11:30 PM. Customers can place fresh For365 orders in that stock or F&O contract from 9:15 AM on 18th August.
