Making a close up...

The field in the second row indicates the size of the position and contains varying levels: …… The maximum size of the position will be given by the leverage user level and his balance to affront it.

The screen provides all the information regarding the status of the position and it enables the user to enter limits to the position like Take Profit and Stop Loss:

Stop Loss: Minimum Price predefined by the user (or maximum if it is a short position) that the position could reach. Once the position reaches this predefined Stop Loss it will close automatically. The user would place a Stop Loss in order to limit his losses.

Take Profit: Maximum Price predefined by the user (or minimum price if it is a short position) that the position could reach. Once the position reaches this predefined Take Profit order it will close automatically. The user would place a Take Profit in order to realize his profits at a predefined price level.

3.2.- Entry order:

Entry orders are aimed at opening a position when the market reaches a certain price. These orders will be executed if the market value of an instrument (e.g. EUR/USD) reaches a predefined level. A scenario where the user would want to place an “Entry Order” is if for example the EUR/USD pair is currently trading at 1.5000 and the user believes that if this pair reaches the 1.5055 level then it is a strong buy signal. In this case the user would place an “Entry Order” to buy EUR/USD at 1.5050, as he believes that the market will continue to go up. This is one example of many possible uses of the “Entry Order” option.

Now we will explain the other features available under the Trade window that are related to placing an entry order:

Expiration: Is the date until the order can be executed. After this date has passed the entry order will expire and not execute.

Place Order: Is the button that the user will click on in order to execute the "Entry Order".
