Trading & Orders

Market Order

Buy or sell securities at the next available bid/ask price.

Market Orders do not guarantee a price, but they do guarantee your trade is executed as soon as possible.

In liquid markets, the price is at or near the posted bid/ask price.

You can set Stop Loss and/or Take Profit levels to specify the maximum/minimum price at which your trade is closed out for a profit/loss.

Pending Orders

Set the maximum or minimum price at which you are willing to buy or sell securities. Your order will only be triggered for execution if the price reaches the pre‑defined level.

If your order is triggered, you can set Stop Loss and/or Take Profit levels to specify the maximum/minimum price at which your trade is closed out for a profit/loss.

  • Buy Limit
    Set your desired ask price at a level below the current price (You expect the price to fall to a certain level, from which it will rise again).
  • Buy Stop
    Set your desired ask price at a level above the current price (You expect the price to keep rising after reaching a certain level).

Be aware of the risk

Trading foreign exchange, spot precious metals and any other product on the Forex platform involves significant risk of loss and may not be suitable for all investors. Prior to opening an account with Swissquote, consider your level of experience, investment objectives, assets, income and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not speculate, invest or hedge with capital you cannot afford to lose, that is borrowed or urgently needed or necessary for personal or family subsistence. You should be aware of all the risks associated with foreign exchange trading, and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
