Stock order ticket
The stock order ticket is where you place US stock orders with your connected broker. Perpetuals, prediction markets, tokens and exchange trading each have their own order panel on their own pages.
Find it at: the Trade panel in the right column of a stock page under Stock Trade (/stock-trade/<symbol>) on the web; the Trade button on a stock page in the mobile app.
1. Where it opens from
- A stock page. On the web, the Stock Trade page shows the ticket in its right column, pre-filled with that stock. In the app, the stock page's Trade button opens it.
- A signal card. Signal cards with a trade action open the same ticket as a dialog, pre-filled with the signal's symbol.
If you have no broker connected, the ticket shows a Connect button that starts the connection flow. If your broker connection has expired, it shows Reconnect.
2. Fields
| Field | What you set |
|---|---|
| Account | Which connected broker account the order goes to |
| Side | Buy or Sell |
| Order type | Market, Limit or Stop |
| Limit price / Stop price | Shown for Limit and Stop orders |
| Time in Force | GTC (good till cancelled), DAY, IOC (immediate or cancel) or FOK (fill or kill) |
| Number of shares | How many shares to buy or sell |
The ticket shows your available cash, the bid / ask, and the Est. Cost of the order. For what each order type does, see Order Types.
3. Placing the order
A stock order has two steps. First Alphio asks your broker to check the order — buying power, market hours, symbol validity — and the broker returns an estimated price and fees. You review that estimate and confirm, and Alphio submits the checked order.
You can tick Skip preview to send the order in one step. Some brokers don't support preview at all, in which case the order is always placed directly.
If the check fails — insufficient buying power, market closed for that symbol — the ticket shows your broker's error and nothing is sent.
4. After you submit
The ticket confirms the submission, with View Orders and Continue Trading options. Submitted means your broker accepted the order — not that it has filled. An order placed outside regular market hours waits at your broker and fills when the market opens.
The order then appears in Orders on your account page, which shows orders from the last 24 hours, and in Order History for older activity. To cancel a working order, open it from there.
5. Limitations
- No amend. To change a working order's price or quantity, cancel it and place a new one.
- One symbol at a time. Bulk and multi-leg orders are not supported.
- US stocks only. ETF pages, Hong Kong stocks, forex, spot metals and crypto quote pages have no stock order ticket. See Supported assets.
- A connected broker is required.
