Orders & Positions

What happens to my orders and positions if I log out of my trading platform?‍

Orders and positions are processed on the trading server, so they remain active even if you log out. Only Trailing Stop orders require the platform to stay connected.

‍

What are Sell Stop, Buy Stop, Sell Limit, and Buy Limit orders?

These are types of pending orders that allow you to enter the market at a predefined price rather than the current market price:

• Buy Stop: An order to buy above the current market price. It is triggered when the market rises to your specified level and is used when you expect the price to continue rising.
  
• Sell Stop: An order to sell below the current market price. It is triggered when the market falls to your specified level and is used when you expect the price to continue falling.
  
• Buy Limit: An order to buy below the current market price. It is triggered when the market dips to your specified level and is used when you expect the price to rebound and move higher afterwards.
  
• Sell Limit: An order to sell above the current market price. It is triggered when the market rises to your specified level and is used when you expect the price to reverse and move lower afterwards.
  

📌 Pending orders help you plan trades without constantly monitoring the market.

‍

Why was my Buy Limit order not executed?‍

The market price may not have reached your specified level, or it may only have touched the bid/ask side opposite to your order type.

‍

What are the minimum lot size available for trading?‍

Lot sizes vary by product. You can check the specific minimum in the instrument specifications on our website or in your trading platform.

‍

How long can I keep my positions open?‍

Positions can generally remain open indefinitely unless closed by Stop Out, Stop Loss, or Take Profit. Swap fees apply to positions held overnight.

‍

What is a Trailing Stop order? ‍

A Trailing Stop is a type of Stop Loss that moves automatically with the market when the price moves in your favour. Instead of remaining fixed, it "trails" the price by a set number of points or pips.

• If the market continues to move in your favour, the Trailing Stop follows it, helping you lock in more profit.
  
• If the market turns against you, the Trailing Stop remains at its last level and closes your trade when triggered, protecting your gains.
  

📌 Example: If you set a Trailing Stop of 50 points on a buy trade and the market rises 80 points, your Stop Loss will automatically move 50 points higher, securing profit. If the market then drops, your position will close once it reaches the adjusted stop level.
