Market Orders- Market order is a commitment to the brokerage company to buy or sell a security at the current price. Execution of this order results in opening of a trade position. Securities are bought at ASK price and sold at BID price. Stop Loss and Take Profit orders (described below) can be attached to a market order.

Placing a Market Order-

License_ID, buy, XAUUSD ,lot,price  - Correct Syntax

License_ID, buy, XAUUSD,lot  - Correct Syntax

Note- Price is mandatory field for Limit Order.

Buy Limit – buy provided the future "ASK" price is equal to the pre-defined value. The current price level is higher than the value of the placed order. Orders of this type are usually placed in anticipation of that the security price, having fallen to a certain level, will increase.

Sell Limit – sell provided the future "BID" price is equal to the pre-defined value. The current price level is lower than the value of the placed order. Orders of this type are usually placed in anticipation of that the security price, having increased to a certain level, will fall

Stop loss for BUY Order- 

License_ID, buysl, XAUUSD, lot, price

Stop loss for Sell Order- 

License_ID, sellsl, XAUUSD, lot, price

Stop Loss order-
This order is used for minimizing of losses if the security price has started to move in an unprofitable direction. If the security price reaches this level, the position will be closed automatically. Such orders are always connected to an open position or a pending order. The brokerage company can place them only together with a market or a pending order. Terminal checks long positions with BID price for meeting of this order provisions (the order is always set below the current BID price), and it does with ASK price for short positions (the order is always set above the current ASK price).

Take Profit Order for BUY -

Take Profit Order for SELL -

BuyStop order - (Place buy order above the market price)

License_ID, buystop, XAUUSD, lot, price

The BuyStop command is used to place a buy order at a price higher than the current market price. For example, if the market price of XAUUSD is 2600 and you want to place a buy order at 2625, you would use the Buy Stop command to do so. When XAUUSD reaches 2625, your buy order will be executed.

SellStop order - (Place buy order above the market price)
