Steps to Place Buy/Sell Orders (Market and Pending Orders)

On IUX, you can place two main types of orders:

1. Market Execution (Instant Buy/Sell Orders)

If you want to open a trade immediately at the current market price, follow these steps:

• Select the asset you want to trade (such as Gold or EUR/USD)
• Click "Buy" if you expect the price to rise, or "Sell" if you expect it to fall
• Set your Lot size, and configure your Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP)
• Confirm the order to execute the trade

2. Pending Order (Buy/Sell at a Specific Price)

Pending Order (Buy/Sell at a Specific Price)

• Buy Limit: Used when you want to buy at a price lower than the current market price. For example, if you expect the price to drop to a certain level before bouncing back, you can place a buy order in advance at that lower price.

• Sell Limit: Used when you want to sell at a price higher than the current market price. For instance, if you believe the price will rise to a certain point before reversing downward, you can set a sell order at that higher level.

• Buy Stop: Used when you want to buy once the price rises to a certain level. This is typically based on the idea that if the price breaks a resistance level, it could signal a bullish trend, so you place a buy order above the current price.

• Sell Stop: Used when you want to sell once the price drops to a certain level. This is often used when you believe a break below a support level signals a bearish trend, so you set a sell order below the current price to trigger automatically.

Steps to Set a Pending Order

• Select the type of Pending Order from the menu

• Choose the order type (in this example, it's a Buy Limit)

• Enter the desired entry price, SL/TP, and Lot size

• Click "Place" to confirm the order

Tip : Before placing a Pending Order, always check support and resistance levels. Setting Buy Limit or Sell Stop at the wrong spot can trigger trades too early and cause avoidable losses.

Now you know all the steps to place Buy and Sell orders on the IUX platform.
As you can see, even beginners can start trading with confidence—if they have a solid foundation and understand how to use each order type correctly.

If you’re still unsure which account type to start with, try using a Demo Account first. It lets you practice placing real orders without any risk, so you can switch to a live account when you're ready.

Remember, successful trading isn’t just about hitting Buy or Sell at the right moment.
It comes from disciplined planning, setting SL/TP carefully, and choosing a Lot size that fits your portfolio.
