Create Stop/Limit (Net) Order

Brief

This section describes all possible ways of creating a net position stop/limit order.

Details

To create a net position stop/limit order:

1. Right-click in the chart, and then click Stop/Limit (Net).
   The Stop/Limit (Net) dialog box will appear.
   
   
2. In the Account box, select the account if necessary.
3. To choose the order type, select the Stop (Net) or Limit (Net) check box, and then select or type the price in the appropriate box.
   To view a five minute mini chart for the symbol shown in the Symbol box, 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.
4. To make your order trailing, in the Trailing box, click the necessary step type. If you choose a fixed step trailing order, select or type the step in pips in the next box.
5. Click OK.

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

• If the price at which the order has been created is currently visible on the chart, the order is displayed as a line with a label. The label indicates the order type and the trade operation ('S' for Sell, 'B' for Buy). The date and time when the order was created is indicated on the line by the creation mark.
• If the price at which the order has been created is currently not visible on the chart, the order is displayed as a marker.
  
  Notes:

• If the price is higher than prices displayed on the chart, an order marker appears at the top border of the chart.
• If the price is lower than prices displayed on the chart, an order marker appears at the bottom border of the chart.
• If you wish to see the order, click the order marker.

When you point to the order line, label or marker, a tooltip appears. The tooltip displays the order type, the trade operation ('B' for Buy, 'S' for 'Sell'), the order rate, and, if you trade on more than one account, the account ID of the account from which the order was placed.
