Electing Sale

    0.01 sec.
Electing Sale
The sale that triggers a stop order. For example, suppose one makes a stop order to buy at the best available price after the price reaches $8 per share. The electing sale is a transaction on that security made for $8 a share. This sale activates the stop order. See also: Stop price.

electing sale
The round-lot transaction that activates an odd-lot or round-lot stop order. The first transaction after the electing sale is the effective sale for determining the price of the odd-lot order. An electing sale can take place only when the price of a security is at or through the price specified on the order. For example, if a customer enters an order to buy at 15 stop, the electing sale will be the first sale at which the stock trades at a price of $15 or more.
