Market Order
To execute a trade at the current market price, click on a currency rate for the currency/instrument you want to trade, under the column that corresponds to the trading action you wish to take (Bid/Sell or Ask/Buy), or right-click anywhere within the instrument record, and choose the Market Order command from the pop-up menu. The Amount Input dialog box will appear:

Enter the desired amount, measured in lots, set the trader range in number of pips and click OK. A new order marked with the letter 'I' (Initiate) will appear in the Trader's Orders Window. The Dealer will now confirm the operation, reject it, or remove it, depending on the current market rate.

Trader's Range:

If by the time when the system receives a trader's I or C order, the Dealing Price

is different from the original order price, the system will automatically

reject this order due to the discrepancy between prices, and notify the trader about the new price.

In order to avoid auto rejects by the system, the Trader may set

a Trader's Range (TR), - the amount of deviation from the original order price, in pips, he will automatically accept.

With the "Trader's Range" set, if by the time the system receives a trader's I or C order the Dealing

Price is different from the original order price, but within the Trader's

Range from the original order price, the system automatically open a position at the current Dealing Price

• If the Dealer confirms the order, the 'I' record will disappear and the new position record will be added to the Open Positions window. The account information will be updated.

• If the Dealer rejects the order due to a price change, a new order marked with the letter 'R' (Reject) will appear in the Trader's Orders Window instead of the 'I' order. This order will show a new market price. The prompt shown below will appear notifying the Trader that the price has changed, and will display a new price. The Trader will have several seconds to either accept this new price, by clicking the "Accept New Price" button at the bottom of the prompt, or to remove order, by clicking the "Remove Order" button.

If the trader does not accept a new price within the "reaction time" the order will be removed by the system and the following message will appear:

If the dealer removes the order the following message will appear at the screen.

Entry - Stop/Entry Limit Order

Entry Stop/Entry Limit Orders are aimed at opening positions at off-market prices. These orders will execute if the market value of an instrument reaches the entry stop/entry limit price.

The Entry Stop orders aim at opening positions at a price "worse" than the current market price. To initiate Entry Stop/Entry Limit Orders, right-click anywhere within the instrument record and then choose the "Entry Stop Order" or "Entry Limit Order" command from the pop-up menu. The Amount input dialog box will appear:

Enter the desired amount measured in lots, adjust the price as shown in the box, and click OK. A new order marked with letter 'ES' or 'EL' (Entry Stop or Entry Limit) will appear in the Trader's Orders Window. The Dealer will execute it when the market price reaches the price of the Entry Order.
