Navigation:  Quick Start Guide > Open a New position (Market Order)

If you have only one trading account, this account is selected automatically; otherwise, select the one that you want to trade from in the Account Information window or the Account Information bar.

 

 

The selected account will be highlighted.

 

In the Dealing Rates window, left-click on a rate for the instrument or currency pair that you wish to trade under the column that corresponds to the trading action you wish to take, i.e. Bid/Sell or Ask/Buy.

 

 

The “New Position” dialog box will appear:

 

 

Enter the order amount in lots into the “Amount” field. Press OK to submit the order.

Note: Once you press OK your order is sent to the Dealer, who can confirm, reject or remove it (due to a change in market price).

 

Upon the dealer’s confirmation, a new position will be opened and will appear in the Open Positions window.
