Placing Orders

The Order Form sits in the left panel of the trading terminal. It has two layouts — Basic and Advanced — that you switch between per user (your choice is remembered). Basic keeps things minimal; Advanced unlocks managed brackets, conditional orders, risk-based sizing, and multi-target take-profits.

Basic vs Advanced

	Basic	Advanced
Order types	Market, Limit	Market, Limit, Conditional Market, Conditional Limit
Order mode	Standalone only	Managed or standalone (your choice)
Sizing	Size % / quantity	Size % or Risk %
Take-profit	—	Up to multiple TP targets with scale-out
Stop loss	Single optional SL	Full TP/SL bracket (managed) or single SL (standalone)

Note

Switching to Basic always places standalone orders and hides conditional order types — if you had a Conditional order selected it falls back to Limit. Switch to Advanced to access everything below.

Order types

Type	Behavior
Market	Executes immediately at the current market price.
Limit	Rests until the market reaches your specified price.
Conditional Market	Waits for the market to hit your trigger price, then fires a market order.
Conditional Limit	Waits for your trigger price, then places a limit order at your chosen limit price.

Conditional orders are Advanced + standalone + futures only

The Conditional Market and Conditional Limit types (the terminal’s stop / trigger orders) only appear when all of the following are true: you are in Advanced view, the Managed position checkbox is unchecked (standalone), the account is a futures account, and the exchange supports trigger orders. They are not available in Basic mode, and there is no “Stop Market” button in Basic.

Conditional order support by exchange: Bybit, Binance, OKX, GateIO, CoinW, Phemex and the virtual/challenge engine support trigger orders. Hyperliquid supports Market and Limit only.

Managed vs standalone orders

In Advanced view a Managed position checkbox controls how your order is handled. It is checked (managed) by default.

Mode	Checkbox	What you get
Managed	Checked	The terminal opens the position and attaches your full take-profit / stop-loss bracket automatically. Configure TP targets and an SL, and they are placed for you.
Standalone	Unchecked	A raw entry order with no automatic bracket. You may attach a single optional stop loss. This is also the only mode that exposes Conditional (trigger) order types.

Tip

Use managed when you want a complete, pre-planned trade (entry + scaled exits + stop) placed in one click. Use standalone when you want a plain order — or when you need a conditional / trigger entry.

Leverage & margin mode

Leverage and margin controls appear only for futures accounts (spot accounts have neither).

Leverage — click the leverage button to open the leverage dialog. It offers a slider (with markers at 1x, 5x, 10x, 25x, 50x) and quick-select preset buttons (1x, 3x, 5x, 10x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 75x, 100x) plus a Max button that jumps to the maximum leverage the symbol allows (varies per symbol). A colour indicator flags the risk band:

Band	Leverage
Low	1x – 10x
Medium	11x – 50x
High	above 50x

Margin mode — toggle between Isolated and Cross.

Margin mode is locked on virtual & testnet accounts

On virtual / challenge accounts the margin mode is fixed to Isolated, and on testnet accounts it is fixed to Cross — the toggle is disabled in both cases. Only real futures accounts can switch freely.

Position sizing

In Advanced view a toggle switches between two sizing methods:

• Size % — allocate a percentage of your available balance (or enter an exact quantity). This is the only method in Basic view.
• Risk % — you set the percentage of your account you are willing to lose, plus a stop-loss price. The terminal solves for the position size from the distance between entry and stop, so your loss at the stop equals that percentage.

Risk presets of 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2% are one click away. On challenge accounts the default risk is pre-filled from the challenge’s max risk per trade rule.

The per-trade cap is a ceiling, not a floor

Where a track caps risk per trade, that percentage is a maximum — not a minimum. You’re free to risk less. And a stop placed too far away isn’t necessarily rejected when you submit the order: on a challenge or funded account an over-wide stop can fail the account when the entry actually fills. Give your stop room to spare.

Tip

Risk-based sizing means you never have to do the math: pick your risk %, drop your stop, and the size adjusts automatically so the trade risks exactly what you intended.

Take-profit targets & scale-out

In managed mode you can set multiple take-profit targets and scale out of the position across them.

• Add / remove targets — allocations automatically redistribute across the remaining targets using the configured strategy (Equal, Pyramiding, or Custom).
• Per-target allocation — expressed as a percentage of the position or as a raw quantity.
• Target value modes — each target’s price can be entered three ways:
  • Price — an absolute price level.
  • Gain % — a percentage move from entry.
  • R:R — a risk-reward multiple relative to your stop distance (targets show an R label instead of %).

Your stop loss is a single level and can likewise be entered as a price, a loss %, or synced from your saved risk profile. In managed mode, enabling TP/SL requires a stop loss to be set before the order can be placed.

Reduce-only & spot behavior

A reduce-only order can only shrink or close an existing position — it will never open a new one or flip your direction. When reduce-only is active on a standalone order, the size input’s minimum steps up so you can’t accidentally submit a dust-sized order.

Note

Leverage, margin mode and reduce-only are futures concepts. Spot accounts have no leverage or margin controls, and their Margin / At-Risk readouts are hidden in the order details.

Trade preview & order details

Before you submit, the order details readout shows the live economics of the order:

Field	Shown	Meaning
Value	Always	Notional value of the order (size × price).
Margin	Futures only	Margin required = value ÷ leverage.
Fees	Always	Estimated round-trip fee (~$). Assumes a maker rate for a resting limit entry and a taker rate for market entries and the exit leg. Shows -- when fee rates aren’t available yet.
At-Risk	Risk sizing + SL set	Dollar amount you lose if the stop loss is hit.

Clicking Buy/Long or Sell/Short opens a preview / confirmation step before the order is actually sent, so you can sanity-check size, leverage and exits first. Once confirmed, the order appears in the Positions & Orders table at the bottom of the screen.
