Place a Trade

Trades are placed from the Trade view. See Access Trade View for instructions on getting to this view.

When you are in Trade view, complete the following steps to place a trade:

Tap the Quantity field and enter the amount you want to trade.
Tap the [Buy] or [Sell] buttons depending on the trade direction you want to place.
You can at this time enter a take profit Limit order or a protective stop loss in the Limit and Stop fields as desired. If you enter a Stop order, you can choose to make it a Guaranteed order. This means that for a small fee your stop order is protected against the risk of market gaps. Tap the [i] icon to see a pop-up showing the charge for the guaranteed order. (This check box can only be ticked for markets that support guaranteed orders.)

If you are not creating attached orders then tap the hide keypad button on the action bar.
(Optional Step). You can see how much margin is required for the trade by tapping the [Calculate Margin] button. Tap [OK] to dismiss the Margin Calculator view.
You can elect to make the trade a hedge trade by tapping the Hedge checkbox so that it is ticked. This means that a new trade in the opposite direction of an existing trade will open as a new hedging trade. It will not offset any other trades in the same market.
Tap the [Trade] button to submit the trade to the system for processing.
If it is successful, a trade confirmation message appears. Tap [OK] to acknowledge the trade confirmation. If the trade request is not successful, the relevant error message is displayed explaining why the trade was not placed.
