good til canceled (GTC)

An order placed with a broker to buy or sell a security that does not expire until it is either executed or canceled. Good til canceled (GTC) orders are particularly useful when placing stop or stop-limit orders. GTC orders are usually used by price-sensitive investors who have longer time horizons. Note that some brokers cancel GTC orders after 30 to 60 days.
