Orders for a stock trading system are coded as follows from left to right: i. The first character is 'B' for a "buy" order, 'S' for a "sell" order ii. The number of shares to buy or sell iii. The stock ticker symbol in all uppercase letters for a "buy" order or all lowercase letters for a "sell" order iv. If the order is a "limit" order with a specific buy/sell price, the requested price in pennies, otherwise the price should be omitted and the order will be a market order at the current asking price for the stock v. If the order is a "limit" order with an expiration time, the character 'T' followed by the number of minutes until the order expires and should no longer be executed Note that the order code may only contain letters and numbers. It may not include comma, hyphen, etc. What would the code be for a limit order to buy 2300 shares of Hewlett Packard stock (ticker symbol: HPQ) at $320.00 a share, but only if the order can be filled in the two days?
