Prerequisites & Limits
Category | Order Type | Use it to |
|---|---|---|
Entry | Market, Limit | Open a position now, or at your chosen price |
Exit | Take Profit, Stop Loss, Reduce-Only | Lock in gain, cap losses, or shrink a position without flipping direction |
Conditional | Stop Market, Stop Limit, Take Profit Market, Take Profit Limit | Trigger an order when price hits a level |
Time-in-front | GTC, IOC, FOK | Control how long a order stays active |
GTC (Good-Till-Cancelled): stays open until filled or cancelled.
IOC (Immediate-Or-Cancel): fills what it can immediately, cancels the rest.
FOK (Fill-Or-Kill): fills completely right away, or not at all.
Step-by-Step Navigation
Open any contract and click Long or Short.
Choose Market, Limit or Conditional at the top of the order panel.
Enter the price and size, turn on Take profit / stop loss if needed, and click Buy or Sell.
Common Failures & Troubleshooting
My Limit order hasn't filled: The market hasn't reached your price yet. Check the Open orders tab, or adjust your price.
My FOK order was cancelled: It couldn't fill in full immediately. Use IOC or GTC to allow partial or later fills.
