Why the GTT trigger email price differs from the execution price

Sun, 21 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The price shown in a GTT (Good Till Triggered) trigger email is the trigger price, the level the last traded price touched to activate the order. It is not the price your order filled at. A GTT does not buy or sell at the trigger; it places a regular limit order at a separate limit price when the trigger is hit, and that limit order fills at the limit price or the prevailing market within it. The gap between the email price and the price you actually got is the difference between “when the order was sent” and “at what price it filled”.
