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:

1. Navigate to the Trading page (Alt+T)
2. Enter a stock ticker (e.g., AAPL) or crypto pair (e.g., BTC/USD)
3. Choose quantity (number of shares or coins)
4. Select order type: Market (execute immediately at current price) or Limit (execute only at your specified price or better)
5. Optionally set profit target, stop-loss, and trailing stop
6. 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:

Manual orders always show a review dialog before submission, so you cannot accidentally send a trade with the wrong quantity or symbol.

Auto-trade approval:

If "Approve Each Auto-Trade Buy" is enabled in Settings > Trading, the AI proposes buys instead of executing them: each proposed buy arrives as a notification and an email with Approve and Decline buttons, and expires after 60 minutes if you do not answer. Sells and protective exits (stop-losses, trailing stops, the daily loss brake) are never held for approval - they always execute immediately. This setting is off by default. When your daily auto-trade limit is already used up, no new approval requests are sent.
