How to Open Trades

Sign in to fxTrade.

Open the Order window.
Click in the Quote panel over the currency pair you want to trade.

Make sure the Market Order tab is selected.
(We talk about limit orders here.)

Click Buy or Sell.
Buy if you think the currency pair may go up in value; sell if you think it may go down. Buy and sell rates are different because of the dealer’s spread, which varies by time of day and market events.

Verify the currency pair.
Select another pair from the list if you want to change it.

Type the number of units you want to trade.

Click Submit.
