Trading
Orders from the chart
The order window floats over the chart and sends to the MT account you signed in with.
- Quick and full orders
- Buy or sell with a volume, or open a full order with the stop, target and volume already worked out.
- Positions on the bars
- Open positions, stops and targets sit on the chart where you can see them.
Risk
Control over every position
Risk tools work on the account's live positions, from the same terminal.
- Group stop and target
- Set the stop or target for every position on a symbol with a single line.
- Close by kind
- Close buys, sells, winners, losers or everything, with the count and floating P&L shown first.
- Exposure and stop-out
- Net exposure by symbol, and how much further the account can lose before the broker's stop-out.
