  2. The Stop/Limit Order dialog box will appear.

  3. To choose the order type, select the Stop or Limit check box.
    To view a five minute mini chart for the order symbol, click Chart.
    On the mini chart, you will see a line on the level of the order price. You can change the order price by dragging its line to the necessary level.
    You will also see the entry order line if the entry order price is currently visible on the chart; otherwise, you will see the entry order marker at the upper or lower border.
  4. Specify the price for the stop/limit order if necessary. The price can be specified either directly, by selecting or typing the price in the appropriate box, or through a distance in pips from the market price.

    Note: You cannot specify the price for your stop/limit order through a distance in pips if it is not supported by the server. In this case the In pips check boxes are unavailable.

  6. Click OK.

The order will be displayed on the chart in one of the two ways:

When you point to a stop/limit order line or label, a tooltip appears. The tooltip displays the order type, the order rate, and the current profit/loss.
