Good This Week (GTW)
An order that terminates at the end of the current calendar week.
This is a conditional maturity trigger that can be attached to most order types. It primarily operates by introducing a calendar week deadline by which the order is closed, irrespective of whether it is filled, or open.
The main benefit of this order type is that it closes the trade by the end of the current week, so if the trader is operating on a fixed deadline due to bureaucratic, operational, or personal reasons, this is an ideal means by which they can limit their market exposure by a certain date.
The drawback is that since the trigger to close the order is dependent on time and not market conditions, it may close when a trader might have preferred to keep their order active.
