Flexible Trading

An investor does not need to constantly follow the market in order to make a transaction at a chosen price level - the responsibility is passed to the transactional system using specific orders.

Orders types

Listed below are the orders you can use to manage your transactions:

Market Order

An order made by a client who wants to buy or sell financial instrument for current price. This order's fulfillment causes closing or opening of a trade position.

Purchase is carried out for ASK price (demand price), selling is carried out for BID price (supply price). There are also Stop-Loss and Take-Loss orders that can be adjusted to Market order. Market orders fulfillment regime depends on financial instrument.

Stop-Loss

This order is meant to diminish losses in case financial instrument price starts moving to unprofitable direction. If instrument price reaches this level, position closes automatically. This order is always connected with open position or postponed order. It’s granted only together with market or postponed orders. ASK price is used for checking long positions, BID price is used for checking short positions.

Take-Profit

An order meant for getting profit, if financial instrument price reaches a forecasted level. Such order's fulfillment causes position's closure. It's always connected with open or postponed position. Order can be granted only together with market or postponed order. price is used for checking long positions, BID price is used for checking short positions.

Trailing-Stop

A very useful tool when there is no chance to keep an eye on market changes because it automatically reacts to them. Trailing-Stop is always connected with open position and is carried out on client terminal, rather than on server.

Pending Order

It's a postponed order to buy or sell a financial instrument in future on a fixed price. This order is used to open a position, if future quotations are equal to a fixed level. There are four types of postponed orders:

  • Buy Stop. An order to buy a trading tool which is entered at a price above the current offering price. It is triggered when the market price touches or goes through the buy stop price
