Type list: You can choose from one of these two options: Instant Execution & Pending Order

Sell button: Click this button if you want to open a Sell Order. Clicking the Sell button will close the New Order window and send the instructions to the broker.

Buy button: Click this button if you want to open a Buy Order. Clicking the Buy button will close the New Order window and send the instructions to the broker.

Enable maximum deviation from quoted price option: Enabling this option will activate the list of Pips where you can select a value for the maximum deviation. This option will help you to avoid requotes at a fast moving market. If the deviation between a requoted price and a requested price is equal or lower than specified parameter, the order executes at the requoted price automatically. If the deviation between a requoted price and requested price is more than specified parameter, the client has to confirm new price or decline it. It could be possible that after confirmation the market price has changed and the client could have another requote.

Maximum deviation list: Select the maximum deviation pips value.

Once you have decided to buy or sell at the current price press the Buy or Sell buttons to open a long or short position (Figure 4).
