GTC keeps your "spot" in line and provides a hassle-free way to complete an order without babysitting it.

From Scottrade website "A Good 'til Canceled (GTC) order will remain in effect until the order is executed, until you cancel the order, or until the last business day of the month following the month in which the order was entered, whichever occurs first. For example, if a GTC order was placed on Feb. 11, 20XX, the order would remain open until the last business day of March 20XX, unless the order was filled or canceled prior to the end of the month.
A Good 'til Date (GTD) order allows you to enter a specific date and time of day when you would like for your order to expire. GTD trades have a maximum duration of 90 calendar days. The expiration date entered must be a market day and cannot be a holiday or weekend. The time of day entered must be between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. ET in half-hour increments only.
.If a GTC or GTD order partially executes over separate days, separate commissions will be charged each day that an execution occurs. GTD orders can only be placed online. Broker assistance is not currently available for placing GTD orders. Additionally, GTC and GTD order designations are not available during the extended hours trading sessions."
