How does MooMoo’s Buy STOP Order (BSO) work?
Hi @Investing with moomoo @Moomoo Lily when SPY is at 492 and SPY CALL is at 3.44.
lets say i am keen to buy SPY Call option if SPY reaches 493 (which means the SPY Call may reach 4.20 to 4.40). And so i use a buy stop order on SPY CALL OPTION (see screenshot). question is, does this BSO get triggered by SPY’s price, or by SPY Call’s price?
Meaning, do I place BSO and indicate price as 493, or do I place BSO and indicate price as 4.20?

Moomoo Buddy : Dear client, if you put stop order to buy SPY Call options, the trigger price only bases on the options market price (SPY Call's price) . If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us via MooMoo-Me-Customer Service-Online Inquiry or hotline (+65)-6321 8888 Thank you for your support! Have a nice day！
Edit nameOP Moomoo Buddy: Hi, thanks for the update. This method of tagging the stop order to the underlying instrument is correct for stocks, but it is incorrect for options.
Options come with a high spread and delta, and the delta means that the stock’s price will never be 1:1 to the call option. So, the call option’s buy stop order should allow for an order based on the stock’s price, and not the option’s price. This is also how other option brokers provide the buy stop order!
I hope I have not confused you by mentioning delta, but I have to highlight that the buy stop order based on a call option’s price is meaningless. It’s like giving me an umbrella in Thailand if it rains in Switzerland. That’s how useful a buy stop order based on the call option’s price will be, to someone who trades options based on the stock’s price movement.
