Terminal (manual trading)

The Terminal is where you trade by hand: pick an account and a symbol, read the chart, and place or manage your own orders. Orders you place here are yours — the bots on the account do not manage them, move their stops or count them in their own limits.

The order ticket

Forex is lots and pips. Choose Market, Limit or Stop, enter the volume in lots and, if you want protection, a stop loss and a take profit in pips. The ticket shows the stop and target as prices, and what they would cost or earn in your account's currency. A figure the ticket cannot state exactly — for example a pip's value on a cross pair — is left out rather than guessed.

Sizing by risk

Switch on "Size by risk", enter the share of your equity you are willing to lose and a stop loss, and the volume is worked out for you. It is always rounded down to the broker's step, so the risk is never above what you typed. If even the smallest tradable size would risk more than that, it says so instead of rounding up.

The confirmation

Before anything is sent you see what the order will do: side, volume, price, stop and target, the money at risk and what share of your equity that is. A real account is named as one. There is no slippage setting: the order is sent as it is.

One-click trading

Tick "Don't ask again this session" in a confirmation and orders go out without it for the rest of this page's life. It never turns on by itself, a reload turns it off, and you can untick it on the ticket at any time. Pressing twice quickly still places one order.

Crypto accounts: the futures ticket

On a Binance futures account the ticket is an amount (in USDT or in coins), Market, Limit or Stop, and a stop and a target in prices. The stop and target are placed after a market order fills; a resting limit order cannot carry them, so set them once it fills. The ticket shows the position's size and the margin it ties up — and an estimated liquidation price only when the margin mode, the balance (for cross) and the contract's maintenance rate are all known. It is an estimate from the first margin bracket; the exchange's own figure is on the open position.

Stop orders (crypto)

A stop order waits until the mark price reaches its trigger, then buys or sells at market. A buy stop sits above the current price and a sell stop below it; a trigger that is already reached is refused by the exchange. Because it executes at market after the trigger, the fill can differ from the trigger price. It cannot carry a stop loss or take profit — set them once the position is open. A waiting stop is listed with your resting orders and can be cancelled there; to change its trigger, cancel it and place a new one.

Leverage and margin mode

Leverage is set per symbol and applies to every position on it, so the Terminal reads it from the exchange and changes it only on request. It is locked while a position is open on the symbol (the exchange refuses a margin mode change then, and a leverage change would move that position's liquidation price) and while a bot trades the symbol. An order is also refused when a bot manages the symbol, so a manual fill never merges into a bot's position.

When an order is refused

The Terminal checks the volume against the broker's step, the price against the tick grid and the side of the market, and the stop distance against the broker's minimum — and refuses before sending. The broker has the final say: a closed market or too little free margin is answered with its own reason.

No answer from the venue

If the connection drops after an order is sent, the order may exist. The Terminal says so and does not call it a failure. Look at your positions and pending orders before you try again.

Controls on this step

What the app checks before letting you continue, and why.

A crypto entry stop is placed in the exchange's conditional book and is never mistaken for a position's stop loss — A buy stop must sit above the ask and a sell stop below the bid, or the ticket disables that side. A stop cannot carry a stop loss or target. A waiting stop is listed and cancelled with your resting orders, and editing a position's stop never touches it.
Leverage and margin mode stay where they are while a position or a bot is on the symbol — They are set per symbol and apply to every position on it. The Terminal reads them from the exchange, locks them with the reason stated, and a refused change leaves the old setting on screen.
The futures ticket shows margin and liquidation only when it can state them — No leverage, no margin. No maintenance rate or margin mode, no liquidation estimate — and when there is one it says it is an estimate. A quantity off the exchange's step or an order under its minimum is refused before sending.
One-click is yours to switch on, and only after you have read an order — The "don't ask again" box lives only in a confirmation, lasts until the page reloads, and can be unticked on the ticket. Pressing twice places one order.
The confirmation says what the order will do, in your account's money — Side, volume, price, stop and target, the money at risk and its share of your equity. A real account is named as real. Nothing the Terminal cannot state exactly is shown as an estimate.
The ticket refuses what the broker would refuse, and leaves out what it cannot state — Volume on the step, price on the tick grid and the right side of the market, stops no closer than the broker allows. A pip's value on a cross pair, or a margin without a leverage, is left out rather than guessed, and sizing by risk is not offered where it could not be exact.
