What is a Limit Order?
The fact that Easy-Forex is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, doesn't mean that YOU must stay awake and be alert, waiting to capture a preferred opportunity or rate? You can set your preferred DAY TRADING rate, superior to the existing market rate, and Easy-Forex shall watch and monitor the opportunity for you. When and if the market rate reaches the LIMIT rate you defined, Easy-Forex shall perform the DAY TRADING deal for you, at the terms as pre-defined by you.
Once such deal is performed, it automatically becomes a regular DAY TRADING deal, allowed the default duration of 1 month.
The Limit service is offered to you by Easy-Forex FREE OF CHARGE !!
How much does the Limit service cost?
Absolutely nothing. All collaterals collected are part of a regular DAY TRADING deal. If such deal would not capture, the collaterals are returned to your free balance. Performing a LIMIT order is a free-of-charge service by Easy-Forex.
When a Limit "captures", do I see it in My Account?
Yes, at 2 entries in the MY ACCOUNT journal: (a) the LIMIT ending, (b) a new DAY TRADING deal.
Naturally, both journal entries have together net zero value.
Forex order types: Market Order, Limit Orders, GTC (Good till cancelled), GFD ( Good for the day), Stop orders, OCO (order cancels other).

For example, you place an order to buy 100,000 euro at 1.0950. The platform will automatically fill your order when the offer reaches 1.0950. Limit orders can be placed to both buy and sell. Usually this type of order is used when price is more important than time.

The main difference between a Forex trading limit order and a market order is that with the limit order the transaction takes place only if the Forex trading currency reaches the limit you set before you bought or sold it using the Forex trading platform. Even though both orders are considered immediate, as they are done one the spot market, the Forex limit orders can take longer to execute.
A limit order in forex trading is similar to a limit order when trading in the stock market.
To conclude Forex Limit orders
Forex Trading Limit entry orders are executed only if the currency price touches but not breaks the price you set. Limit orders are done when traders want to set the limit price. These orders are executed only if the currency reaches the limit price you set. Limit orders are used when you want to buy and sell a currency only if it reaches a certain price or better. Let's say the currency pair EUR/USD is worth 1.245, and you buy a limit order of 1.249. This means that the transaction will be executed only if the currency price rises to 1.249.
