How can we help?

Stake is not a direct participant in U.S. exchanges. All Wall St orders are executed through our U.S. partner, DriveWealth LLC, which operates under the Securities Exchange Act and the trading rules of Nasdaq and NYSE, as overseen by the SEC and the exchanges themselves.

Every order placed on Stake is subject to pre-trade checks by both Stake and DriveWealth to ensure fair and orderly trading.

What is reviewed before an order is placed?

DriveWealth and Stake assess several factors before accepting or executing your order, including:

• The size and type of the order

• Terms and conditions applied to the order

• Current market conditions and demand

• Recent trading activity of the security

• Trade value (volume and price)

• Frequency of order submissions

• The potential for market impact from execution

Orders may be rejected if they are seen to violate regulatory standards or raise concerns about market manipulation.

Reasons a pre-trade filter may be triggered

• It’s placed too far from the current market price

• The security is subject to a market-wide trading halt

• The volume or price significantly deviates from recent trading history

• Additional orders are entered for the same security at similar prices

• The order is placed right after market open or during the closing auction

• The security has been suspended, delisted or affected by a corporate action (e.g. merger, stock split)

DriveWealth can also cancel or amend transactions as part of maintaining market integrity. If this happens, any benefits or entitlements from the cancelled transaction will be lost.
