How to Place a Trade

Keeping Track of Orders


Open an account
  1. Keep a Record of the Trades you Enter

    For your own reference, please make a note of the following details whenever you make a trade:

  2. Monitor your Open Orders

    Every open order you make will expire without notice at the end of the period you specified when you placed the order, unless your order is executed or cancelled earlier.

  3. Always tell us of Changes and Cancellations

    From time to time you may wish to modify, replace or cancel an earlier order, which is perfectly acceptable before the order is executed.

    Simply making a new order for the same security does not automatically cancel your previous order, and you could end up with multiple orders, all of which could be executed.

    To change or cancel an order:

    • contact a
      TD Waterhouse
      Investment Representative
    • click on "Account Inquiry" in
      TD Waterhouse
      WebBroker and follow the prompts. (Call an Investment Representative to change/cancel mutual fund order).
    • say "Account Inquiry" in
      TD Waterhouse
      TalkBroker and follow the prompts.
    • Select "Order Entry" in
      TD Waterhouse
      TeleMax and follow prompts. Instructions to change or cancel an open order will always be "subject to prior fill." This means that we will immediately submit your request to change or cancel your order, but the order may already be filed, even though the fill has not yet been reported.
