Order types

Choose the order type at the top of the order panel: Limit and Market directly, everything else under Advanced.

LimitYour price or better. Waits in the order book.

MarketFills right away at the best available prices.

Trigger LimitA limit order that is placed when a trigger price is reached.

Trigger MarketA market order that is placed when a trigger price is reached.

ScaledSeveral limit orders spread across a price range.

IcebergA limit order that shows only part of its size in the book.

Trailing StopA stop that follows the price and closes when it turns.

Chase LimitA limit order that follows the best price until it fills.

TP/SLTake profit and stop loss, incl. break-even stop.

In Pending and the order history

At the exchange, most of these orders are limit orders, so each order in Pending and in the order history carries a badge that says what it really is:

Badge	Order
Limit, Market, Post only, IOC, FOK	the plain types
Trigger Limit, Trigger Market, Trailing stop	trigger orders, until they trigger
Scaled	one of the orders of a scaled order
Iceberg	an iceberg (only part of it shows in the book)
Chase	the order of a running Chase Limit
BBO	a limit placed at the best bid / ask
Hidden	a hidden order (not shown in the book)
TP/SL, TP, SL, Position	take profit / stop loss orders

Next to it, Cross or Isolated shows the margin mode.

Maker or taker?

Every order either adds liquidity to the order book (maker) or takes it (taker). Makers pay the lower fee. An order that rests in the book, like a limit order below the market when buying, is a maker order. An order that fills right away, like a market order or a limit order at or beyond the other side’s best price, is a taker order. See Fees.

Order options

These options sit at the bottom of the order panel and can be combined with the order types above where they make sense:

Option	What it does
Post only	The order is only placed if it adds liquidity (maker). If it would fill immediately, it is cancelled. Limit orders only.
IOC (Immediate or cancel)	Fills what it can immediately; the rest is cancelled. Limit orders only.
FOK (Fill or kill)	Fills completely and immediately, or not at all. Limit orders only.
Reduce only	The order can only make your position smaller or close it, never open, increase or flip it.
Hidden	Your order is not shown in the public order book (neither price nor size) but fills normally. It pays the taker fee even while resting, because it adds no visible liquidity.
Order confirm	Shows a summary to check and confirm before an order from the order form is sent: size, price, estimated total and estimated liquidation price. Closing from the positions table, Urgent Entry and chart actions don’t ask. The notification after an order fills appears either way.

Tools that help you size or place orders have their own pages: Risk Mode (size by the amount you want to risk) and Urgent Entry (one-click market orders from preset sizes).
