TWAP
Execute evenly over a set amount of time at a price equal to or better than the order price, to achieve a time-weighted average price

Trailing Stop
An order where the stop price, set at a specific dollar or percentage interval above or below the current price, can adjust as the market does (sell order triggers follow the price up, but then stay the same as the price moves down and vice versa).
309
Immediate-or-Cancel (IOC)
An order to immediately buy or sell at the specified price or better and cancel any unfilled amount
