4. Opening New Positions and

Placing New Orders After you have specified your trading level, you can open positions at the current market

price, as well as to enter the market when the price meets certain conditions you have specified. WebPROfit helps you to monitor your entering to the market by allowing you to place the following order types:

Market order –place this order when you want to enter into a position immediately, at the best available price at the time.

The following example illustrates the placement of Buy Entry Limit order: suppose the EURUSD market price is 1.2600 and you believe that the price will begin to rise after first dropping to 1.2540. In this case, you set your Buy Entry Limit to 1.2540. When the market will reach this rate, the position will automatically open.

Buy Entry limit –place this order when you believe that the price will begin to rise after first dropping to a certain level. The order is executed when the ask price is equal to the Buy Entry order.

Buy Entry Stop – place this order when you believe that the price will continue to rise after it breaks above a certain level. The order is executed when the ask price is equal to the Buy stop order.

Sell Entry limit– place this order when you believe that the price will begin to fall after it reaches a certain level. The order is executed when the bid price is equal to the Sell Entry order.

Sell Entry Stop – place this order when you believe that the price will continue to fall after it breaks below a certain level. The order is executed when the bid price is equal to the Sell Stop order.
