Opening a New Order

Opening an order is simple and can be done from either the Rates section or the Favorites section of the Android Trader. A new order can be placed by selecting a trading instrument of your choice from the main screens of both the Favorites and Rates sections. Clicking on your desired instrument will bring you to a popup bar. Alternatively, you are able to switch between an Instant and pending order by selecting the menu button of your device.

Choose ‘Instant’ or ‘Market’ (depending on execution type of the instrument) to open a new open position.

For instant orders you can select and change the volume (vol ), set a stop loss (S/L) or take profit (T/P), then you must choose whether to ‘Buy’ or ‘Sell’ by clicking the corresponding button.
For Market orders, you can select and change the volume (vol) then you must choose whether to ‘Buy’ or ‘Sell’ by clicking the corresponding button and your request to open a new position will be sent. A confirmation screen should appear shortly after the request is approved.

To create a Pending order you may either select the ‘Pending’ button from the pop up bar or alternatively select the menu button from the instant order screen. The window for creating a pending order will appear.

Again, you have the volume (Vol), stop loss (S/L), and take profit (T/P). With the pending order, you set the price that you want the order to activate. By selecting the ‘price’ option, you will be presented with a scrolling ‘Price picker’. Once you have chosen your price, click ok followed by your desired type of the order: Buy Limit, Sell Limit, Buy Stop, and Sell Stop. A confirmation screen should appear shortly.

You can easily switch to chart window either from ‘Instant (Market) Order’ or from ‘Pending Order’ window by clicking on ‘Chart’ button below.
