With the RBC Direct Investing Trading Dashboard, you can easily place a stock or ETF order in just a few clicks
Let’s take a look at how to place buy or sell orders
From the Trading Dashboard, search for the stock or ETF you want to place an order for
To do this, click the search icon at the top of the dashboard
Once the search window opens, type in a symbol or company name to search for the stock or ETF
From the list of search results, click on the stock or ETF you would like to place an order for
A Factsheet will open displaying the stock or ETF you selected
Click the “Trade” icon, the one that looks like two arrows facing opposite directions, from the top right corner of the Factsheet
You might have also noticed this icon in a number of other places including your Watchlists, Portfolio and other widgets.
You can use this icon to place an order directly from those places as well.
Selecting the icon will open the “Order Entry” window
In this window, you can see how much buying power you currently have
Start off by filling the order form by selecting the account you would like to place the order from
Under the “Market” dropdown, ensure that the correct currency is displayed
Next, select the action you would like to take, the order type and the quantity or estimated value
Once all required fields have been filled, select “Continue”
Review your order and click “Verify”
Once you get the trade confirmation message, you can either close the window or choose “Open Order Status”.
If you choose “Open Order Status”, a window will open showing the status of all the orders you’ve placed.
