Spanish term or phrase: a la apertura
I am currently translating a glossary of stock market terminology, and want to make doubly sure that I have translated the below accurately:

A LA APERTURA: Orden que se da en los mercados de valores para su ejecución en el momento en que abran los mercados su negociación diaria.

My translation is:

AT OPENING: An order given on the stock market to be executed at the moment the market opens for daily business.

Please let me know if you need any further info or context.

Many thanks

to ring the opening bell


Explanation:
The ring (literally) that marks the open as well as the close of the NYSE stock exchange. This is Wall Street jargon. Another option would be market opening.

disagree  philgoddard: I don't see how you can justify a 5 when you haven't read the context.//The context doesn't say anything about ringing bells.
1 min
  -> The context is saying a market order at the opening (of the trading session or day). What I put is Wall Street jargon. There are many other options such as at the open, at the opening bell, etc.. I also put market opening.
