In this lesson, we will look at the different types of <strong>pending<br>orders.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-types-of-pending-orders-to-enter-the-market\"><strong>Types of pending orders to enter the market<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pending orders to enter the market are executed once certain conditions are met. There are<br>four types of pending orders to enter the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-buy-stop\"><strong>1. Buy stop<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A buy stop is a pending order to buy at a price higher than the current market price. If<br>EUR\/USD is currently trading at 1.1110, a buy stop would be set to start buying EUR\/USD once<br>it reaches 1.1120.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-sell-stop\"><strong>2. Sell stop<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A sell stop is a pending order to sell at a price lower than the current market price. If EUR\/USD<br>is currently trading at 1.1110, a sell stop would be set to start selling once the price of<br>EUR\/USD falls to 1.1100.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-buy-limit\"><strong>3. Buy limit<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A buy limit is a pending order to buy at a price lower than the current market price. If EUR\/USD<br>is currently trading at 1.1110, a buy limit would be set to start buying EUR\/USD once it falls<br>to 1.1100.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-sell-limit\"><strong>4. Sell limit<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A sell limit is a pending order to sell at a price higher than the current market price. If EUR\/USD<br>is currently trading at 1.1110, a sell limit would be set to start selling EUR\/USD once it rises to<br>1.1120.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-types-of-pending-orders-to-exit-the-market\"><strong>Types of pending orders to exit the market<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also pending orders to exit the market or close a position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-stop-loss-order\"><strong>1. Stop-loss order<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A stop-loss is a pending order to exit a position if the market moves in the opposite direction<br>of your trade. It is set at a specific price level, a certain number of pips in the opposite<br>direction of the trade. If the market turns against the open position, the stop-loss will be<br>triggered to protect the trader\u2019s capital. Basically, a stop-loss is designed to limit the amount<br>a trader is willing to lose on a specific trade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-take-profit-order\"><strong>2. Take-profit order<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A take-profit order is an order that specifies the exact price to close an open position for a<br>profit. Traders set this order at a specific level and commonly use take-profit orders<br>alongside stop-loss orders to manage their open positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-trailing-stop\"><strong>3. Trailing stop<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A trailing stop is a modified stop loss order that moves with the market price. When the price<br>moves in the desired direction, the trailing stop follows the market by a specific distance. For<br>example, if you set a trailing stop 20 pips below the current price in a long position, and the<br>price moves up by 10 pips, the trailing stop will also move up by 10 pips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding these various types of orders can help traders better manage their<br>positions. In the next lesson, we will discuss the concepts of bid price, ask price, spread and<br>swap.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Role of Pending Orders in Forex Trading In our last lesson, we explored the two main types of orders available in forex trading: marketorders and pending orders.
