What are Qualifying Limit Orders?
A qualifying limit order is a limit order placed at least one penny below the ask for a buy
or at least one penny above the bid for a sale executed during regular market hours and the order size is 100 shares or more. GP2T credit will not be paid during extended hours trading sessions.
BUY Order Example:
Imagine you want to buy 1000 shares of XYZ stock that is trading $10 bid and $10.02 ask. To enter a qualifying limit order and Get Paid To Trade, you would simply enter an order to buy 1000 shares of XYZ at 10.01 or lower. Upon execution, you will receive 1000 shares XYZ at $0 commission and a $1 Get paid to Trade credit.
SELL Order Example:
Imagine you want to sell 1000 shares of XYZ stock that is trading $10 bid and $10.02 ask. To enter a qualifying limit order and Get Paid To Trade, you would simply enter an order to sell 1000 shares of XYZ at 10.01 or higher. Upon execution, you would receive the proceeds from the sale plus the $1 Get Paid To Trade credit. That’s it.
