Currency Trading Systems:
Using Market Orders Right
Currency trading systems require an understanding of
what market orders are and
how to use them effectively. The following short
tutorial is intended to
help you in the proper use of market order
implementation.
Market Order: is used to buy or sell a selected
currency pair at the current
market price. A market order is completed at the
price displayed once the
Currency trader pushes the order button.
Stop Order: a stop order is normally executed in a
Currency trading system when
the market meets or exceeds the stop price. Once
originated, the order is
held until the stop price is reached. Using stop
orders you can close out a
position (stop loss), reverse a position, or open a
new position. Stop
orders can also be used to protect an open position
by setting a limit on
losses or preserving unrealized gains.
Once the market meets or exceeds the stop price, the
order is activated and
executed at the next available price. A stop order
does not guarantee the
stop rate. Market conditions like volatility and low
volume at the stop
price level may trigger a stop order at a cost less
desirable than the stop
price.
