Orders & execution
A CFD produces a gain or loss from a price difference. A bought option gives a right at a strike price in return for a premium. Compare the same underlying units to understand their different results.
Orders & execution
An iceberg order displays only part of its total quantity. A hidden reserve can replenish that visible part as it trades. The exchange or broker determines how replenishment and execution priority work.
Orders & execution
Start with the exact message and the order’s current status. Then check the relevant prices, instrument and log entries instead of changing settings at random.
Orders & execution
One currency future and one forex lot can represent different amounts of currency. Compare retail EUR/USD with exchange-traded euro futures, then check how contract size, financing, margin and expiry change the trade.
Orders & execution
A move can be 20 pips, 200 terminal points and 200 minimum price steps at once. The numbers change with the unit. Compare the definitions, inspect four explicit specifications and convert your own price distance.
Orders & execution
In the Forex/CFD examples here, Buy Stop waits above the current Ask and Buy Limit below it. Follow four EUR/USD quote paths to see why activation, a chart touch and an actual fill are different.
Orders & execution
A trailing stop-loss activates a market order; a trailing stop-limit activates a limit order. The first can fill at a worse price than the stop. The second can leave the position open. Compare both on the same price path.
