A market order is an instruction to buy or sell a CFD, in a specified size, at the best available market price for that size. It is important to note that a market order can be executed at a price different from quoted at the time it is placed. Once executed, a market order immediately becomes an open position that can be watched in the ‘Portfolio’ tab. Market orders can only be placed during the trading hours of the underlying asset. A market order can have Take Profit/Stop Loss Orders attached.

If you have enough money on your account, you can keep your positions open for as long as you want. Please note that if your position remains open at the end of the day, an overnight fee is charged.

Trading on margin means to trade securities using funds borrowed from a broker. To trade on margin, you have to open a margin account and deposit a certain amount of money, which will literally serve as a collateral for a loan. Margin trading offers you an exposure to bigger trades and profits, but involves greater risks as well.

A margin call is sent when the ratio between your equity and your required margin fails to meet our requirements. A margin call is a key risk management tool preventing your losses from piling up.

If your equity drops below 125% of the required margin, you’ll receive our first margin call message. You will still be able to open new positions and place orders.

The next margin call is sent if your equity goes below 100% of the required margin. You will no longer be able to open new positions or place orders.

If your equity to margin ratio drops below 75%, you’ll receive the third margin call. You will still not be able to open new positions or place orders.

If the equity is equal to or less than 50%, we automatically close all your open positions and cancel your pending orders.

A pending order is an instruction to open or close a position if the price reaches, or crosses the level that you have specified earlier. A pending order therefore becomes an open order, once it is triggered. This is especially useful when you don’t have time to constantly watch the market. Just decide a price you wish to trade at, and the system will do the rest.

Capital.com offers one type of pending order – Limit Order.

A limit order is an instruction to buy a CFD at no more than a specific price, or to sell it at no less than a specific price. This gives you control over the price at which the limit order is executed. However, it is possible that this limit order may never be executed (or filled). Pending limit orders can be found in the ‘Portfolio’ tab in the app.

A take profit order automatically closes an open position when the price reaches a specified threshold. Take profit orders are used to lock in profits when you are unavailable to monitor your open positions.

For example, if you are long Company XYZ at 109.58 and you want to take your profit when the price reaches 110.00, you can set this price as your take profit threshold. If the bid price reaches 110.00, the open position is closed by the system and your profit is secured.

A stop loss order can help you protect against unnecessarily large losses, and therefore manage your risk effectively. A stop loss automatically closes an open position if the price moves against you and reaches the level you specify.

For example, if you are long Company XYZ at 109.58, you could set a stop loss at 107.00 – then, if the bid price falls to this level, the trade is automatically closed, thereby capping your losses.

The price which you specified for the order was not reached.

Yes. You can determine both the profit you want to reach and the loss you can afford. Your position will be closed out if one of these parameters is reached.

Your profit is converted into your account currency.
