Order types, how you enter and exit
75%+ of retail investor accounts lose money trading CFDs.
Core types
- Market, execute now at available price (slippage possible)
- Limit, fill only at your limit or better
- Stop, becomes a market order when the stop price trades
- Stop-limit, triggers like a stop, then places a limit (may not fill)
- Trailing stop, stop level follows favourable price by a distance
Common beginner mix-ups
A buy limit sits below market; a buy stop sits above. Mixing them up places the wrong pending order. Practise on demo until the ticket labels feel obvious.
Partial fills and rejects
Fast markets can partially fill or reject pending orders. That is normal microstructure, not necessarily a “scam”. Log examples on demo.
Practice path
Open a demo, place one of each order type on a major pair, and screenshot the ticket. Then read platform guides on this site for MT4/MT5/cTrader specifics.

FAQ
Which order is safest?
None is universally safest. Market gets you in fast with slippage risk; limits may never fill. Match the tool to the job.
Do all brokers support trailing stops?
Most major platforms do, but settings differ. Confirm in your terminal’s order ticket help.
