What types of stock orders are available on Pluang?

Indonesian stocks on Pluang can be traded with Limit Orders and Market Orders, and in the app you can also use GTC validity and Stop Loss / Take Profit — which options you get depends on where you are trading. Limit Order is available everywhere, in the Pluang app and on the web trading platform: you set the exact price you are willing to buy or sell at, and the order only executes if the market reaches that price. Market Order is available in the Pluang app and on the web trading platform: you set no price, only the number of lots, and the order executes immediately at the best price available. Every Limit Order also carries a validity setting that decides how long it stays open: Day on both platforms, and Session or GTC (Good Till Cancelled, up to 180 days) in the app only. Stop Loss and Take Profit are available in the Pluang app, as an "Exit Strategy" attached to a Limit order with Day or Session validity. They are not offered on the web trading platform.


Order types on Pluang for Indonesian stocks:

Order TypePluang appWeb tradingNotes
Limit Order✓ Yes✓ YesBuy/sell at your specified price or better. Day validity on both; Session or GTC validity in the app only
Market Order✓ Yes✓ YesNo price field — lots only. Executes immediately at the best available price
Stop Loss / Take Profit✓ Yes✗ NoApp only, as "Exit Strategy" on a Limit order with Day or Session validity — not with GTC or Market Orders

What this means in practice:

  • In the app and on web, you can either set your own price with a Limit Order or trade at the best available price with a Market Order
  • A Market Order guarantees execution but not price: it fills at whatever the market is offering, which may be better or worse than the price on screen when you clicked
  • In the app, Stop Loss / Take Profit lets you set an automatic exit when you place a Limit order with Day or Session validity — it must be set at placement. When triggered, it places a Limit sell order, so a fill isn't guaranteed; whichever of Stop Loss or Take Profit triggers first executes, and the other is cancelled
  • The order form on whichever platform you are using always shows exactly what is available to you — treat that, not this list, as the final word for your own account

Related questions:

Q: Can I use every Indonesian stock order type on both the app and web?
No — the app has the fuller set. Limit and Market orders work on both the app and web trading. Session validity, GTC and Stop Loss / Take Profit are available in the app only; web trading offers Limit with good-till-end-of-day validity. Your account, RDN and verification are the same on both, so you can switch platforms freely — just expect a shorter list of options on web.

Q: Can I set a Stop Loss or Take Profit for a stock position on Pluang?
Yes, for Indonesian stocks in the Pluang app. Stop Loss / Take Profit appears as "Exit Strategy" and attaches to a Limit order with Day or Session validity — it can't be used with GTC or Market Orders, and it isn't available on web. You set it when you place the order; it can't be added to an existing order afterwards. Once triggered, it places a Limit sell order, so a fill isn't guaranteed, and whichever of Stop Loss or Take Profit triggers first executes while the other is cancelled. Rules differ by asset class, so never assume a US Stocks or Crypto Futures exit-order rule carries over.

Q: How long does my order stay active if it isn't filled?
That depends on the validity you chose. A Day order stays open until the market closes that day and is available in the app and on web. A Session order expires at the end of the session it was placed in, and a GTC order stays open until it fills or you cancel it, up to 180 days — both are available in the app only. A Market Order is different again — it is not left open at all: it fills immediately, and any portion that cannot be matched straight away is withdrawn.

Q: Are Indonesian stock order types the same as for US Stocks or Crypto on Pluang?
No. Each asset class trades on a different exchange under different rules and has its own order-type set. US Stocks offers Market, Limit, Stop, Stop-Limit and paired Stop Loss/Take Profit; Crypto Futures offers a similarly wide range. Indonesian stocks have their own set — Limit and Market on both the app and web, plus GTC validity and Stop Loss / Take Profit in the app only.
