Pre-open calls

A pre-open call rests at your price on a Window listed for later. It is not an immediate trade. It can fill only after the Window's trading start and while the call has not expired.

Schedule a call

1. In Markets, choose an available future Window under Schedule a call. A future stock Window on Short can offer Schedule a Down call.
2. Choose Up or Down, enter the price per contract and stake, then read the whole-contract size and amount held.
3. Review the expiry. The default is 90 seconds after trading starts, capped by the Window's lock; resting until lock is an explicit alternative where offered.
4. Confirm from your funded seat and follow the resting call in Portfolio.

Fill or cancel

The stake is held when the call is accepted. After the open, the venue can fill it at exactly your price when its quote reaches that price. A partial fill creates an ordinary position for that size; the remainder keeps resting until filled, cancelled or expired. No fill is promised.

Cancel returns the unfilled balance. An expired call is swept and refunded. Portfolio distinguishes Resting for the open, Resting, Filled, Partly filled, Didn't fill and Cancelled. Filled legs keep their own Window settlement rules.

A listed future Window, running resting-call service and available quote are prerequisites. A future card alone is not evidence of an accepted or filled call.

Historical check — 30 September 2026: on a local Canton sandbox, calls were placed before the bell; a new call after the bell was refused; one call filled partly and then fully at its price; and unfilled and cancelled calls were refunded. This is historical test evidence, not a current hosted acceptance result.
