JP Stock trading jargons/Glossary
I was thinking of slightly trying trading some stocks too instead of just NISA and MTFs and started understanding each terms.
There is a hurdle of understanding the japanese as well as the thing itself irrespective of language.
I couldn't find any good resources or a summarised page with the info, so I tried making the following.
Being in Japan, we *have* to use excel for something like this.
- Are these terms common across the platform? (I use SBI)
- I dont plan to write the explanations as of now, becuse there are enough resources in English to learn, once you get the english name. But hope to include a simple graph with points plotted to show the time of order, or buy/sell
- Any corrections or additions are welcome. I wonder whether this can be added to the Wiki in future
- This is written from a stock buying perspective, but I believe, the same (or should I say the exact opposite?) is applicable while selling stocks as well

These are the basic order types, the complex ones are more like combinations of these or one additional condition.
Basic Order Types
No. | Order Type | Conditions | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 指値 さしね | Limit Order | Nil | |
2 | 寄指 よりさし | Limit on Open | ||
3 | 引指 ひけさし | Limit on Close | ||
4 | 不成 ふなり | Limit to Market(Japan only thing? no English resources?) | ||
5 | IOC | Immediate or cancel | ||
6 | 成行 なりゆき | Market Order | Nil | |
7 | 寄成 よりなり | Market on Open | ||
8 | 引成 ひけなり | Market on Close | ||
9 | IOC | Immediate or cancel |
Stop Order Types
You set a condition, a trigger condition, which executes Order A, one of the above 9 types of order.
The type is numbered as Stop-A, where A is the order number from basic table
Stop Type No. | Order Type | Sub Order Type | Sub Order Type Conditions | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Stop - 1 | 逆指値 Stop Order | 指値 | Stop Limit Order | Nil | |
Stop - 3 | 引指 | ||||
Stop - 4 | 不成 | ||||
Stop - 6 | 成行 | Stop Market Order (Only in Japan?) | Nil | ||
Stop - 8 | 引成 |
OCO Types : One Cancels the Other
Basically a combination of Limit order (either 1. or 4.) and a Stop order. The order type Number is the combination of one from first table(OCO1) and one from Stop types table(OCO2).
You set two orders A and B, if Order A is executed, B is cancelled and vice versa.
The type is numbered as OCO A-B , where A is from the Basic type table and B is from stop order table
OCO Type No. | OCO1 : 指値(Limit Order ) Conditions | OCO2 : 逆指値(Stop Order) Type and Condition | |
---|---|---|---|
OCO 1 - Stop - 1 | OCO : One Cancels the Other | Nil | 指値-Nil(Limit Order) |
OCO 1 - Stop - 6 | 成行ーNil (Market Order) | ||
OCO 4 - Stop - 4 | 不成:Limit to Market | 指値ー不成 (Limit to Market) |
IFD Order types : If Done Order
If Order A happens, Order B is executed. If Order A doesn't happen, nothing happens.
Order type is numbered as 「IFD - A - B 」
Order A, the first order can be any of the Basic order from 1 to 9 or any Stop Order. (14 cases, so will be represented by x in the IFD table)
Order B will be a sell order and not all types of orders are supported.(refer table)
Total no. of types = 14 x 8 = 112 Cases
IFD Order Type No. | Order A Type | Order B Type/Order B Sub Type | Order B Condition |
---|---|---|---|
IFD x - 1 | x : Any order from basic order type or stop order type | 指値 Limit Order | Nil |
IFD x - 3 | 引指 Limit on Close | ||
IFD x - 4 | 不成 Limit to Market | ||
IFD x - Stop - 1 | 逆指値/指値 Stop Limit Order | Nil | |
IFD x - Stop - 3 | 引指 Limit on Close | ||
IFD x - Stop - 4 | 不成 Limit to Market | ||
IFD x - Stop - 6 | 逆指値/成行 Stop market Order | Nil | |
IFD x - Stop - 8 | 引成 Market on Close |
IFDOCO Order Types:
A combination of an IFD order and an OCO Order(Sell)
You have to setup three Orders A(buy), B(sell), C(sell)
If A is executed, either B or C will be executed. If B is executed C will be cancelled. If C is executed B will be cancelled.
A can be any of the order type from basic table or stop order table (14 cases), and B and C together can be any of the OCO type (3 type)
Total IFDOCO cases : 14 x 3 = 42 Cases
Total no. of order types that can be made in SBI is, 9 Basic + 5 Stop order + 3 OCO + 112 IFD + 42 IFDOCO = 171 Cases!!

I hope that this post just becomes a staring point and finally this can be something useful.
