How to place a trade on MT5 platform ?

There are several ways to call a dialog window for order creation:

• Select a symbol in the Market Watch and click " New order" in its context menu.
• Click " New order" in the Tools menu or " New order" on the Standard toolbar.

General order parameters :-

• Symbol— the financial instrument to perform a deal for.
• Type — if one of the execution modes is selected in this field, a market operation is executed for the selected instrument. Otherwise a pending order of the selected type is placed.
• Volume — the volume of an order in lots. The greater the volume of a deal, the greater is its potential profit or loss, depending on where the symbol price will go. The deal volume also affects the margin reserved on the trading account for the position.
• Stop Loss — the Stop Loss level as a price or in the number of points from the price specified in order, depending on the platform settings. The level is set to limit the position loss. If you leave the null value in this field, this type of order will not be set.
• Take Profit — the Take Profit level as a price or in the number of points from the price specified in order, depending on the platform settings. The level is set to lock in profits of the position. If you leave the null value in this field, this type of order will not be set.
• Comment — an optional text comment to an order. The maximum comment length is 31 characters. The comment appears in the list of open positions and also in the history of orders and deals. A comment to an order can be changed by a broker or server. For example, if a position is closed by Stop Loss or Take Profit, the corresponding information is added in the comment.
