  • 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
