3. The trading window will then be displayed on the right side of the screen. Go to the “Trade” tab (two-opposing-arrows icon) and adjust some parameters, including:
- Trading size – depending on the market, there will be a minimum trading size requirement (e.g., the minimum size requirement for stock trading is 1 share)
- Close at loss (stop loss) – a tool to minimize your loss when the price doesn’t move in the direction you want
- Close at profit (take profit) – this function helps you to protect the profit you already have by closing a trade automatically at a specific rate
To set a stop loss/ take profit, you need to drag the mouse to the right to enable their function first. Then adjust according to stop loss, take profit by amount, distance, or price level.
4. Now check the above parameters again. Then click on the “Buy” button at the bottom to open a trade.
So you have been opening a BUY order on Capital.com. To see the opened orders, click on “Portfolio” on the left side of the screen.
