Orders to Open

An order to open allows you to nominate a market level at which you would like a trade to open.

For example, by viewing technical chart data, you may want to wait for the market to reach a potential resistance level before opening a spread bet to sell. See below for how to place an order to open.

FINDING YOUR MARKET

Find the market on which you would like to trade, then click the 'Order' button.

CONFIGURING YOUR ORDER

Here you can choose whether the order will be to sell or buy, select the market level you would like the trade to open, nominate your stake size and decide whether the order will be 'Good 'Til Cancelled' or good until a specified date and time.

You can also add a stop or limit if you wish and you can guarantee that stop. Hit 'Submit request' to place your order.
