How Order Watch Works
With the Order Watch service, SMBC Trust Bank will make a transaction on your behalf based on your preferred exchange rate specified in advance (Order Rate) when the Prevailing Market Rate* reaches the Order Rate.
The transaction is executed at the "Customer Rate" which includes foreign exchange commission.
- *The exchange rate determined by SMBC Trust Bank based on the exchange rate as quoted in the interbank market.
Moreover, transactions by Order Watch made via online banking are free of exchange commission* from yen to foreign currencies!
You can also easily order via SMBC Trust Bank App.
- *When the converted foreign currency by this Service is reconverted to Yen, the rate (TTB rate) is applied which includes the foreign exchange commission (up to 1 yen per foreign currency).

This product entails some risks such as loss of principal.
Please see here for the details.
Three order types are available depending on your preferences.
Straight Order
This is the most standard order.
A Limit Order aims to earn bigger foreign exchange gains by specifying favorable exchange rate than the present rate.
When the exchange rate is 110 yen/USD at the time of order
Buy : Convert yen to foreign currency
E.g. : Placed a buy order at Order Rate 105 yen/USD. Later, the Prevailing Market Rate reached Order Rate 105 yen, and the order was executed at the Customer Rate (106 yen; foreign exchange commission of 1 yen added to Order Rate).
Sell : Convert foreign currency to yen
E.g. : Placed a sell order at Order Rate 115 yen/USD. Later, the Prevailing Market Rate reached Order Rate 115 yen, and the order was executed at the Customer Rate (114 yen; foreign exchange commission of 1 yen deducted from Order Rate).
Stop Order
This is an order to prevent losses from expanding beyond a certain amount.
You designate a more unfavorable exchange rate than at present.
When the exchange rate is 110 yen/USD at the time of order
Buy : Convert yen to foreign currency
E.g. : Expecting that the yen will depreciate further if it reaches 115 yen/USD, placed a buy order at Order Rate 115 yen/USD although the rate was unfavorable than the rate at that time. Later, the Prevailing Market Rate reached Order Rate 115 yen, and the order was executed at the Customer Rate (116 yen; foreign exchange commission of 1 yen added to Order Rate).
Sell : Convert foreign currency to yen
E.g. : Want to sell US dollar that you hold (convert them to yen) when the exchange rate reaches 105 yen/USD to cut losses once, preventing the losses from expanding further. You plan to wait for another opportunity to buy US dollar. So, you placed a sell order at Order Rate 105 yen/USD. Later, the Prevailing Market Rate reached Order Rate 105 yen, and the order was executed at the Customer Rate (104 yen; foreign exchange commission of 1 yen deducted from Order Rate).
OCO (One Cancel the Other)
OCO is the combination of Straight Order and Stop Order so that you will not miss the opportunity to convert foreign currency to yen or vice versa when the yen appreciates or depreciates.
Execution on either one of the instructions will automatically cancel the other.
When the exchange rate is 110 yen/USD at the time of order
E.g. : Want to fix foreign exchange gains by selling US dollar when the exchange rate reaches 115 yen/USD. However, if the yen appreciates on the contrary before reaching 115 yen, you want to prevent losses from expanding by converting US dollar to yen when the rate reaches 105 yen/USD. So, you placed a sell order at Order Rate 115 yen/USD (Straight Order) and the other sell order at Order Rate 105 yen/USD (Stop Order). Later, the Prevailing Market Rate reached Order Rate 115 yen, the Straight Order was executed at the Customer Rate (114 yen; foreign exchange commission of 1 yen deducted from Order Rate), and the Stop Order was automatically cancelled.
- *OCO enables you to place a Straight Order and a Stop Order in different amounts.
(E.g. : Placing a Straight Order to sell 20,000 US dollars when the exchange rate reaches 115 yen/USD, as well as a Stop Order to sell 15,000 US dollars when the rate reaches 105 yen/USD.)
[What is the difference between the Order Rate and the Customer Rate?]
The Order Rate is the exchange rate at which you wish to make a transaction (your target Prevailing Market Rate on the exchange market).
When your order is executed, currency conversion will happen at "Customer Rate" which includes foreign exchange commission, not at "Order Rate".
E.g. :
For an order to buy US dollar: when an order is executed at the Order Rate of 105 yen/USD, the Customer Rate is 106 yen.
For an order to sell US dollar: when an order is executed at the Order Rate of 115 yen/USD, the Customer Rate is 114 yen.
- *From online banking, foreign exchange commission from yen to foreign currency is free for Order Watch. (Maximum foreign exchange commission from foreign currency to yen is 1 yen per 1 foreign currency.)

Notes About Order Rate / Exchange Rate
- Following orders cannot be accepted for administrative reasons;
- when order rate is too close to prevailing market rate as designated by SMBC Trust Bank.
- when order rate deviates (both sides) more than 10% of Prevailing Market Rate.
Please note that this range may be changed without notice due to market trends and other reasons. - The bid and offer prices quoted by various information providers are only indicative prices and do not necessarily reflect actual deals transacted in the market.
Therefore, depending on the FX market status, orders may not be executed at the Order Rate, such as when the indicative price momentarily reaches the Order Rate and then bounces back quickly.
