00:00:12.913 --> 00:00:15.849
Let’s take a look at how you
can securely buy or sell a

00:00:15.849 --> 00:00:20.320
stock on our online
investing site in only a few
short steps.

00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:23.257
First, log in to your
account and open up the

00:00:23.257 --> 00:00:25.893
Place an Order menu.

00:00:25.893 --> 00:00:31.231
From here, you can
select the type of trade
you’d like to place.

00:00:31.231 --> 00:00:35.435
Let’s place a stock order by
selecting “Stocks”
from the menu.

00:00:35.435 --> 00:00:37.971
On the Stock Order Entry
page, first select the

00:00:37.971 --> 00:00:40.407
account to trade with.

00:00:40.407 --> 00:00:42.876
When you make your account
selection, you will see your

00:00:42.876 --> 00:00:47.180
real time cash balances in
Canadian and US dollars, and

00:00:47.180 --> 00:00:50.050
the combined buying power in
your account.

00:00:50.050 --> 00:00:54.554
Under “Action” select whether
you want to buy or sell.

00:00:54.554 --> 00:00:57.224
Enter the number of shares
you’d like to purchase.

00:00:57.224 --> 00:01:01.128
Enter the symbol of the security
you are buying or selling.

00:01:01.128 --> 00:01:06.233
Select the market by
choosing either Canada or
the US market.

00:01:06.233 --> 00:01:09.369
You can select “Show Quote”
to see a current quote for

00:01:09.369 --> 00:01:11.972
the security you’ve
selected.

00:01:11.972 --> 00:01:14.875
The default share price is
the Market Price.

00:01:14.875 --> 00:01:17.611
If you place an order at the
market price, it is called a

00:01:17.611 --> 00:01:22.282
“Market Order.” To place a
Limit Order, select either

00:01:22.282 --> 00:01:23.684
Canadian or U.S. markets,

00:01:23.684 --> 00:01:27.354
then enter a limit
price, which is the maximum

00:01:27.354 --> 00:01:30.057
price you are willing to pay
as a buyer.

00:01:30.057 --> 00:01:34.127
For a Stop Buy order, enter
a stop price.

00:01:34.127 --> 00:01:37.798
This is only permitted for
orders placed on
the U.S. market.

00:01:37.798 --> 00:01:40.934
For a Stop Limit order, on
Canadian or U.S.

00:01:40.934 --> 00:01:44.838
markets, enter both a stop
and a limit price.

00:01:44.838 --> 00:01:47.374
The limit price is the
highest price at which

00:01:47.374 --> 00:01:51.611
you’re willing to buy, and
can be the same as the stop
price.

00:01:51.611 --> 00:01:54.748
Once you’ve entered a price
for a stop or limit order,

00:01:54.748 --> 00:01:57.484
you can select a “good
through” date here, when

00:01:57.484 --> 00:01:59.586
your order will expire.

00:01:59.586 --> 00:02:02.990
“Any part” means you will
accept any amount of shares,

00:02:02.990 --> 00:02:06.293
up to the total amount of
shares in your order.

00:02:06.293 --> 00:02:10.697
For U.S. market orders only,
“all or none” means that no
partial

00:02:10.697 --> 00:02:13.934
transaction is to be
executed – all the shares

00:02:13.934 --> 00:02:17.004
requested must be traded as
one block.

00:02:17.004 --> 00:02:19.973
If you collect RBC Rewards
points, you also have the

00:02:19.973 --> 00:02:26.013
option here to redeem them
to pay for your trade
commissions.

00:02:26.013 --> 00:02:29.516
Now select “Continue” to
proceed.

00:02:29.516 --> 00:02:32.319
Review and confirm that all
of your trade details are

00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:35.622
correct, then click
“Confirm.” You can print a

00:02:35.622 --> 00:02:40.660
copy of this “Transaction
Complete” page for your
records.

00:02:40.660 --> 00:02:43.697
If you want to sell a stock,
you’ll complete the same

00:02:43.697 --> 00:02:48.535
steps – but select “Sell”
from the “Action” menu.

00:02:48.535 --> 00:02:51.038
Just like when you are
buying a stock on a
Canadian or U.S.

00:02:51.038 --> 00:02:54.041
exchange, you can select the
market price to place a

00:02:54.041 --> 00:02:58.578
Market Order on the exchange
you’ve selected, or … … For

00:02:58.578 --> 00:03:01.448
a Limit order, enter the
limit price, which is the

00:03:01.448 --> 00:03:04.918
minimum price you are
willing to accept as a seller.

00:03:04.918 --> 00:03:07.888
You can place a stop-limit
order when selling too.

00:03:07.888 --> 00:03:11.224
A stop-limit order is an
order to sell at a specific

00:03:11.224 --> 00:03:15.529
price, or better, after the
stop price has been reached.

00:03:15.529 --> 00:03:18.732
For sell orders, the stop
price should be lower than

00:03:18.732 --> 00:03:21.968
the stock’s current price,
and the limit price should

00:03:21.968 --> 00:03:26.740
be less than or equal to the
stop price.

00:03:26.740 --> 00:03:29.876
For a Stop Loss order, enter
the Stop price that the

00:03:29.876 --> 00:03:34.981
stock must drop to (or
lower) before the
order is filled.

00:03:34.981 --> 00:03:39.186
Stop orders are only
permitted on the U.S. market.

00:03:39.186 --> 00:03:41.822
To view the status of your
orders any time, you can

00:03:41.822 --> 00:03:45.125
select “Check My Orders”
from the Place an Order menu

00:03:45.125 --> 00:03:50.864
on your computer … … or on
your touch-screen
or mobile device.
