Limit: A Conditional Day Trading Deal
A
LIMIT order deal allows you to reserve a DAY TRADING deal, which
should be performed when and if your desired exchange rate exists in
the market.
Easy-Forex watches for the appearance of your
pre-defined rate, during the period you set. If and when such rate
does exist in the market – a DAY TRADING deal would be performed,
according to the terms you pre-defined.
A LIMIT order deal does
not cost you anything, and the margins you allocate for such deal
should facilitate the DAY TRADING deal, when and if performed. In
case your LIMIT rate does not appear in the market during the
defined period, the LIMIT order would be void, and the margins be
returned to your free balance.
How does it work?
Say
you believe that the US$ should increase compared with the EURO (€),
and you wish to benefit from such occurrence.
Say that at this
moment, the exchange rate is 1.2100 US$ / €. You wish to purchase
US$ when the rate would be 1.2300.
What should you
do?
Very simple: make a LIMIT order for a €10,000 deal (for
example), at a LIMIT rate of US$/€1.2300. Accordingly, select the
margins required, that should result (for example) in a STOP-LOSS
rate (the point where the deal would automatically end) of
US$/€1.2400.
As mentioned, if your desired rate, US$/€1.2300,
does not exist in the market during the order period, the LIMIT
order would be cancelled at the end of the period, and the margins
would be returned to your free balance.
