Opening Orders At Current Market Price and Placing Limit and Stop Orders:

Market orders are used when speed is crucial, as they are executed immediately at the best available price. However, they offer no guarantee of price, and slippage can occur, especially during volatile simulated market conditions. Limit orders are used to enter a position at a specific price level, allowing traders to control their entry price. However, there is a risk that the order may not be filled if the simulated market does not reach the specified price. Lastly, stop orders become a market order once a specified price level is reached. It is used to limit potential losses or protect profits by triggering a trade when the simulated market moves against the trader's position. In the video below, we detail how to open orders at the current simulated market price, execute limit orders, and implement stop orders within DXtrade.


Adding and Removing Indicators on DXtrade:

Traders often have specific trading strategies or styles they wish to execute within the simulated trading environment. By adding or removing indicators, traders can tailor the platform to their individual preferences and needs. This customization allows traders to focus on the indicators that are most relevant to their trading approach, thereby improving efficiency and effectiveness. We detail how to add and remove indicators within the DXtrade platform in the below video.
