Since TradeZero Canada offers US market access and clears through a US clearing firm, TradeZero is subject to Reg NMS. 

This basically states that firms are obligated to provide investors with executions at the best possible price. 

Effective May 28, 2024, the standard settlement cycle was shortened from T+2 (trade date plus two business days) to T+1 (trade date plus one business day). This change was part of an industry-wide initiative to enhance efficiency and reduce the risk in the securities settlement process.


Under the new “T+1” settlement cycle, all applicable securities transactions from US financial institutions now settle in one business day of their transaction date.

As a result of this adjustment, trades executed on or after May 28, 2024, now settle on the next business day. For example, if you sell shares of ABC stock on Monday, the transaction will settle on Tuesday.

Fed Call / Reg T (Initial purchase or short):


Payment period for Fed Call is now reduced by one day to T+3.

Payment period is now reduced by one day to T+1.


Purchases and Sales now settle on the next business day. Cash received from closing a position is available on the next business day.


Reg SHO 204 buy-in: Reg SHO 204 requirements and when a possible buy-in will occur changed from T+3 to T+2.

A range order is a bracket order, one cancels the other upon execution. Typically send as a limit order to take profit and a stop market order to stop loss.
The low price is a limit price for buy side orders and a stop price for sell side orders.
The high price is a stop price for buy side orders and a limit price for sell side orders.

A trailing stop order’s stop price is not a specific price. It is either a defined percentage or dollar amount, above or below the current market price of the security (“trailing stop price”). As the price of the security moves in a favorable direction the trailing stop price adjusts or “trails” the market price of the security by the specified amount. However, if the security’s price moves in an unfavorable direction the trailing stop price remains fixed, and the order will be triggered if the security’s price reaches the trailing stop price.

Equity and option exchanges have procedures for coordinated cross-market
trading halts if a severe market price decline reaches levels that may
exhaust market liquidity.These procedures, known as Market-Wide Circuit
Breakers, temporarily halt trading, or under extreme circumstances, close
the markets before normal close of the trading session.These circuit
breakers are determined by a single-day decrease in the S&P 500 Index.

Following a market-wide circuit breaker, exchanges will run reopening
auctions in their respective primary-listed securities.
