    How to Place a Stop Market (Stop-Loss) Order

    Use this guide with the screenshot you provided (the orange box highlights the Order type menu).


    1) Open the Order Ticket (from your open position)

    1. In the Positions panel, double-click the position you want to protect.

    2. This pre-fills the Order Entry panel at the bottom with the correct symbol and quantity.

    In the image: your open /GCZ25 position is selected and the Order Entry ticket is shown along the bottom.


    2) Choose Stop Market in Order type

    1. In the Order Entry panel (bottom), click the Order type drop-down (📌 the orange box in the image).

    2. Select Stop Market.

      • Other options you’ll see there: Market, Limit, Stop Limit, Trailing Stop, Trailing Stop Limit.

    Why Stop Market?
    A Stop Market converts to a market order once your stop price is touched—this prioritizes getting you out (fill is prioritized, price is not guaranteed).


    3) Set Your Stop Price

    • Long position (you bought first): set the stop below current price.

    • Short position (you sold first): set the stop above current price.

    Tips:

    • Place stops at logical technical levels (below swing lows/above swing highs).

    • Check the tick size and min price increment for the contract so you don’t enter an invalid price.


    4) Confirm Quantity, Time-in-Force, and Route

    • Qty: Match your open size to fully flatten, or reduce for a partial stop.

    • TIF: Choose DAY (expires end of session) or GTC (stays working until filled/canceled).

    • Routing/Exchange should be prefilled by the platform.


    5) Confirm and Send

    • Review the summary, then click Confirm and Send in the bottom-right of the ticket (exactly as shown in the screenshot).

    • Watch for the confirmation in Messages / Orders panels.


    6) Verify It’s Working

    • Look for your working stop in the Orders/Working tab.

    • On the chart, most platforms display a stop line; ensure it matches your intended level.


    7) Modify or Cancel (if needed)

    • Modify: Click/drag the stop line on the chart or edit the price in the Orders panel, then Confirm and Send.

    • Cancel: Cancel from the Orders panel to remove the working stop.
