There are several ways to place orders in MT5: ● Click on tools on the menu bar. Then select 'New Order'. ● In the Market Watch window, double-click on the asset you want to trade (you can also right-click on the asset you want and select 'New Order'). ● Right click on the Trade tab in the bottom terminal and select 'New Order'. ● Press F9 to one-click trade on the chart of your desired asset.

Using any of the above options opens the 'Order Screen'. The left side of the screen is a tick chart and the right side is a customizable order detail. The tick chart shows

the bid and ask prices, and also shows the real-time spread (the difference between the bid and ask prices).

The order information on the right is: ● Symbol: This is the asset you want to trade, for example the EURUSD currency pair. ● Order Type: You can choose between Market Execution and Pending Execution order types. ● Volume: This is the amount of the selected underlying asset (in lot size) that you want to trade. On a standard account, a lot size is equivalent to 100,000 units, meaning a 1 pip movement is typically equivalent to about $10 USD for most assets. ● Stop Loss and Take Profit: You can attach Stop Loss and Take Profit orders to all your trades. Stop Loss orders help limit losses when the asset price moves against you, while Take Profit orders allow you to book profits when the asset price moves in your favor. ● Comments: You can add notes related to the trade in the comments section.

This is useful for traders who want to keep a record of their trades.

MetaTrader 5 – Order Types As mentioned above, you can trade your favorite assets using 2 types of orders: Market Orders and Pending Orders. ● A market order is an order to buy or sell an asset at the current price. The order is executed in real time. ● On the other hand, a pending order is an order to buy or sell an asset at a specific price in the future.

The MT5 platform has the following 6 types of pending orders:

● Buy Stop: An order to buy an asset at a price higher than the current price with the expectation that when this price is reached, the trend will continue higher. ● Sell Stop: An order to sell an asset at a price lower than the current price, predicting that when this price is reached, the trend will continue to decline. ● Buy Limit: An order to buy an asset at a price lower than the current price with the expectation that the asset's price will increase when it reaches a certain price. ● Sell Limit: An order to sell an asset at a price higher than the current price, predicting that the asset's price will decrease after reaching a certain price. ● Buy Stop Limit Order: A combination of a Buy Stop and a Buy Limit order, designed to eliminate slippage. You set the Buy Stop Limit at a price higher than the current price of the asset, and when that price is reached, the Buy Limit order is placed. ● Sell Stop Limit Order: A combination of a sell stop order and a sell limit order designed to eliminate slippage. You place a sell stop order below the current price, and when that price is reached, a sell limit order is placed.

If you use Stop Loss and Take Profit orders, your trades will be automatically closed when they are triggered. You can also manually close orders at any time before they are triggered.
