Choose an order type
The order ticket is the source of truth for which order types are available for
the selected market.
Size the order
You can start order tickets in USD or asset units. Forex markets can also use standard lots, where one lot represents 100,000 base-currency units. The size slider range changes the shortcuts shown in the ticket; it does not prevent you from typing another otherwise-valid size. Use size and leverage together. Higher leverage reduces the margin assigned to the same notional position but leaves less room for adverse movement before liquidation or a challenge-rule breach.Choose a margin mode
Changing the default affects newly opened positions. It does not rewrite the
margin mode of an existing position.
Add Take Profit and Stop Loss
Take Profit and Stop Loss instructions help define exits before an order is submitted. You can show their estimated gain or loss in percent or USD. Review the trigger, direction, quantity, and whether the exit uses market or limit behavior where the ticket offers that choice.Use execution protection
The Trading settings include:- Max Market Slippage, a server-enforced limit for ordinary market orders and individual position closes;
- separate Non-Forex and Forex leverage caps for the order ticket;
- Warn Without Stop Loss for orders that can increase exposure;
