Understand 5 Common Order Types Before Trading
Financial markets offer different types of orders that traders can use to buy or sell instruments. Each order type works differently, depending on whether the priority is immediate execution, price control, or managing potential losses.
Before starting online trading for beginners, check out the common order types and their working:
| Order Type | How It Works |
| Market Order | Attempts to execute a buy or sell order at the best available market price. |
| Limit Order | Allows traders to specify the maximum price they are willing to pay when buying or the minimum price they will accept when selling. |
| Stop-Loss Order | Triggers an order when the market reaches a specified price level. Use dby several traders to manage potential losses. |
| Stop-Limit Order | Activates a limit order when the specified stop price is reached. |
| Trailing Stop Order | Adjusts the stop level as the market moves “favourably” (usually based on a specified price distance or percentage). If the market reverses by the defined amount, the order is triggered. |
Note: Order types and their availability may vary by instrument and platform. Before submitting an order on Trade246, review the available order options, execution conditions, and associated risks.

Continuously Monitor and Manage Risk
Placing a trade is just the beginning! Monitoring an open position and regularly managing risk is equally important. Traders may follow these risk management practices while trading online:
Set a Loss Limit
Decide how much capital can be risked on an individual trade before entering a position.
Use Stop-Loss Orders
Consider setting a stop-loss trigger to manage downside risk.
Control Position Size
Avoid concentrating too much exposure in a single instrument or market movement.
Monitor Open Positions
Track current prices and unrealised profit or loss. “Reassess” positions when market conditions or the original trading rationale change.
Maintain a Trading Journal
Record the reason for each trade, entry and exit prices, position size, and outcome. Review these records to identify recurring patterns and areas for improvement.
