Types of order
  1. Market Order: A market order is an instruction to buy or sell a financial instrument at the current market price. It is executed immediately at the best available price in the market.
  2. Pending Order: A pending order is an order to buy or sell a financial instrument at a specific price in the future, once that price is reached. MT4 offers four types of pending orders:
    • Buy Stop: Placed above the current market price, used to buy at a higher price if the market moves in the expected direction.
    • Sell Stop: Placed below the current market price, used to sell at a lower price if the market moves in the expected direction.
    • Buy Limit: Placed below the current market price, used to buy at a lower price if the market retraces and reaches the specified level.
    • Sell Limit: Placed above the current market price, used to sell at a higher price if the market retraces and reaches the specific level.
  3. Stop Loss Order: A stop loss order is used to limit potential losses on an open position. It is set as a specific price worse than the current market price for long positions and better than the current market price for short positions. If the market reaches this price, the stop loss order becomes a market order, closing the position.
  4. Take Profit Order: A take profit order is used to lock in profits on an open position. It is set at a specific price better than the current market price for long positions and worse than the current market price for short positions. When the market reaches this price, the take profit order becomes a market order, closing the position.
