Once you understand how to open a position we need to move onto one of the most important tool in a traders toolkit called the order.
What is an order?
Its a command to the broker to carry out a currency transaction when the price of a specific currency reaches or falls to a prescribed level.
Say the euro is at 1.24
We predict that if it reaches 1.224 there will be a sharp rise in price and we are ready to buy at this price, so we give the broker an order to buy a certain amount at this price.
The first advantage of such an approach is that we do not have to follow the market and the deal will be made at exactly the specified price.
So using this order feature any emotion such as fear or doubt in your trade is eliminated and you can carry out the trade as normal.
The order will have been placed and will be active unless cancelled.
Closing order:
The stop loss limits the amount of money we can lose on a position, therefore managing risk to close position at a predefined point. The opposite to a stop lose is a take profit order closes position when a certain amount of profit is reached.
