Discretionary Order

A discretionary order is an instruction in which the client authorizes a broker to determine certain execution details, such as price, time, or venue, within agreed-upon parameters. The broker then completes trades on the client's behalf, subject to those constraints.

Example: An investor with a discretionary account authorizes the broker to execute trades that rebalance a portfolio within a specified price cap and time window.
