Learn to turn a customer instruction into the right order, follow it through to settlement, and say what a corporate action does to the position - the operational reasoning a securities support role runs on.

You'll distinguish market, limit, stop, and stop-limit orders and match each to a client instruction on a simulated blotter, learning each type by what it guarantees and what it leaves uncertain. A stop order does not guarantee the stop price, and knowing why is the difference between reassuring a customer and misleading one. You'll then sequence a trade from order entry through T+1 settlement on a lifecycle flowchart, separating the events people routinely merge: execution, confirmation, clearance, and settlement. Finally, you'll apply a 2-for-1 split notice to recalculate share quantity and per-share cost basis on a position statement, showing that total basis is unchanged by the split alone - alongside tender offers, rights offerings, dividend dates, and return measures. No prior securities experience required. Passing the SIE is not a license or a securities registration. By the end of this course, you will be able to: - Distinguish market, limit, stop, and stop-limit orders and match each to an appropriate client instruction in a simulated trade blotter - Sequence the trade lifecycle steps from order entry through T+1 settlement for a standard equity trade using a flowchart template - Apply a 2-for-1 stock split notice to recalculate share quantity and cost basis for a sample customer position statement
