How long does a GTC stock order stay active on Pluang?
A GTC order for Indonesian stocks stays active for up to 180 days. It keeps working every trading day within that window until it matches, until you cancel it, or until the 180 days run out — at which point it expires automatically after market close on the final day. The 180-day cap is a Pluang choice, not a regulatory requirement: it exists so orders do not sit forgotten at prices that stopped making sense months ago, and it matches how Pluang handles GTC on its other stock products in spirit, though not in length. The exact expiry date is shown on the order confirmation screen when you place the order, so you always know when it will lapse.
GTC validity for Indonesian stocks is available in the Pluang app only. The web trading platform offers only Market orders and Limit orders with Day (end-of-day) validity, and does not offer GTC. Everything below describes the app.
How the 180 days are counted. The clock starts the day you place the order and runs for 180 days — roughly six months — ending after market close on the final day. An order placed on 24 September 2026 at 11:00 would expire on 23 March 2027 after the market closes.
What can end a GTC order before 180 days:
| Event | What happens |
|---|---|
| The order matches in full | Order completes normally; nothing carries forward |
| You cancel it | Ends immediately; any held funds return to your RDN |
| The stock is suspended | All GTC orders on that stock are cancelled |
| 180 days elapse | Order expires automatically after market close |
Partial fills do not restart the clock. If some of your lots match along the way, the remaining lots continue under the original order and the original expiry date. Filling 4 of 10 lots does not give the remaining 6 a fresh 180 days.
What happens at expiry. The order simply lapses. No fee is charged for an order that expires unfilled, and for a buy order any funds still held are returned to your RDN. If you still want the position, you place a new order — nothing renews automatically.
Do not assume this number applies elsewhere on Pluang. GTC on US Stocks is capped at 30 calendar days, and the GTC used by Crypto Futures Advanced TP/SL has no day-based expiry at all. Three different products, three different rules — always check the rule for the asset class you are trading.
Related questions:
Q: Is the 180-day limit an IDX or OJK requirement?
No. It is Pluang's own choice, made so that orders do not become stale — a price you set six months ago may bear no relation to where the stock trades now. The exchange does not impose a maximum GTC lifespan of its own. Because it is a platform choice rather than a regulation, it is a rule Pluang could revisit, so check the expiry date shown at order confirmation rather than assuming.
Q: How do I know when my GTC order will expire?
The expiry date appears on the order confirmation screen at the moment you place the order, alongside your price and lot count. Everything else on that screen is identical to a normal Day order — the expiry line is the one field that differs. You can also see the order's status and remaining lots in your order list at any time.
Q: Does my GTC order expire at the end of each trading day?
No — that is exactly what GTC avoids. Behind the scenes the exchange does withdraw the order each evening and a fresh one is created the next morning, so the IDX order number changes daily, but from your side the order is continuous and needs no action from you. It only truly ends when it matches, is cancelled, is suspended out, or hits 180 days.
Q: Am I charged anything if my GTC order expires without filling?
No. Pluang's fees apply only to completed transactions, so an order that expires unfilled after 180 days costs you nothing — and neither do the 179 days it spent waiting. For a buy order, any funds held against it return to your RDN when it lapses.
