Clicking the blue trade icon opens the trading interface. The interface contains the rate, which can be set manually or can follow the market rate. This can be toggled using the “rate” button on the right of the field. The next parameter available is are the units or amount (can be toggled using the button on the right of the field). If you prefer to choose the amount, the units are calculated and vice versa.

The parameters for a CFD trade can be set at the bottom. There are predominately three parameters that can be set – Stop Loss, Leverage and Take Profit. You can adjust your exposure to the market by selecting an appropriate leverage amount. The stop loss field is used to limit your losses in a trade. If the price shifts in an unfavourable direction and the stop loss amount is reached, the position is closed automatically. Therefore, it is wise to think about the risks that you would like to take before filling this in. Similarly, the take profit field is used to book a certain profit and automatically close the position when an amount, that you fill in, is reached. Once all the parameters are filled in, check it. Then click on the big blue Set Order icon at the bottom to place the order.
