Manual buy and sell orders
The Trading page is where you place manual buy and sell orders for stocks and crypto.
Placing a buy order:
- Navigate to the Trading page (Alt+T)
- Enter a stock ticker (e.g., AAPL) or crypto pair (e.g., BTC/USD)
- Choose quantity (number of shares or coins)
- Select order type: Market (execute immediately at current price) or Limit (execute only at your specified price or better)
- Optionally set profit target, stop-loss, and trailing stop
- Review and confirm the order
Selling a position:
From your open positions list, click the Sell button next to any position. You can sell the full quantity or a partial amount. Sell orders also support market and limit order types.
Cancelling an order:
Open orders that have not yet been filled can be cancelled. Click the cancel button next to any pending order in your trades list.
Order confirmation:
If "Require Trade Confirmation" is enabled in Settings > Trading, you will see a review dialog before every order is submitted. This is enabled by default to prevent accidental trades.
