Placing Your First Trade on MT5

Execute a trade using market or pending orders. Follow the steps below for each type. We use EURUSD as an example. Adjust volume and risk parameters as needed.

Market Order

Select an instrument from Market Watch, for example EURUSD. Right-click and choose New Order. Set volume to 0.01 lot for beginners. Define Stop Loss and Take Profit in points (e.g., SL 30 points, TP 60 points). Click Sell or Buy to execute instantly.

The order appears in the Trade tab under Toolbox. You can see the open price, volume, and current P&L. Market orders fill at the current bid or ask price. Slippage is minimal due to our fast execution. Monitor your position using the chart.

Pending Order

For a pending order, choose Order Type then Pending Order. Select Buy Limit, Sell Limit, Buy Stop, or Sell Stop. Enter the activation price, volume, SL, and TP. Click Place to submit the order.

The pending order waits in the Terminal until price triggers it. You can modify or delete it anytime. Use pending orders to enter trades at specific levels. This strategy works well for breakout and reversal setups. Set alerts to stay informed.

Modify and Close Trades

To modify SL or TP, double-click the position in the Trade tab. Enter new values or drag the lines on the chart. To close, right-click the position and select Close Order. Confirm the volume and click Close.

Your profit or loss settles instantly in NGN. Partial closing is also supported. Use the Order History tab to review past trades. Keep a trading journal for better analysis. This helps refine your strategy over time.
