IX. Common Trading Principles

Before you begin to study the trade functions of the terminal, you must get a clear
understanding of the basic terms: order, deal and position.
 Order
An order is an instruction for a broker to buy or sell a financial instrument. There are
two main types of orders: market and pending. In addition to these types, there are
special orders Take Profit and Stop Loss.
 Deal
A Deal is a fact of buying or selling a symbol. Buy is performed at the Ask price, Sell —
at the Bid price. A deal can appear resulting from the execution of a market order or
triggering of a pending order. Keep in mind that in some cases, execution of an order
can result in several deals.
 Position
A position is a market obligation, i.e. the number of bought or sold contracts of a
financial instrument. A Long Position — a symbol bought expecting the price increase,
Short — an obligation to supply it expecting the price to fall in the future. On one
account for each financial instrument there can be only one position.
General Scheme of Trade Operations

 From the client terminal, an order is sent to a broker to execute a deal with the
specified parameters.
 On the server, correctness of an order is checked (correctness of prices, availability of
funds on the account, etc.).
 Orders that have passed the check wait to be proceeded on the trade server. Then the
order can be:
 executed (in one of automatic execution modes or by a dealer)
 canceled upon expiry
 rejected (e.g. when money is not enough or there is no suiting offer in the market; or
rejected by the dealer)
 canceled by a trader
 Execution of a market order or triggering of a pending order results in a deal.
 If there are no positions for a symbol, conclusion of a deal results in opening of a

position. If there is a position for the symbol, the deal will lead to increase or reduction
of the position volume, its closure or reversal.
Scheme of trade operations
X. Types of Orders
The MetaTrader 5 mobile terminal for Android allows to prepare requests and request the
broker for execution of trading operations. In addition, the terminal allows to control and
manage the state of open positions. For this purposes, several types of trade orders are used.
An order is an instruction of a brokerage firm's client to conduct a trade operation. In the
terminal, orders are divided into two main types: market and pending. In addition, there are
Stop Loss and Take Profit orders.
Market Order
A market order is an instruction given to a brokerage company to buy or sell a financial
instrument. Execution of this order results in a deal. The price at which the deal is conducted
is determined by the type of execution that depends on the symbol type. Generally, a
security is bought at the Ask price and sold at the Bid price.
Pending Order
A pending order is the client's instruction to a brokerage company to buy or sell a security at
pre-defined conditions in the future. Types of pending orders:
 Buy Limit — trade request to buy at the Ask price that is equal to or lower than that
specified in the order. The current price level is higher than the value in the order.
Usually this order is placed in anticipation of that the security price, having fallen to a
certain level, will increase;
 Buy Stop — trade request to buy at the Ask price that is equal to or higher than that
specified in the order. The current price level is lower than the value in the order.
Usually this order is placed in anticipation of that the security price, having reached a
certain level, will keep on increasing;
 Sell Limit — trade request to sell at the Bid price that is equal to or higher than that
specified in the order. The current price level is lower than the value in the order.
Usually this order is placed in anticipation of that the security price, having increased
to a certain level, will fall;
 Sell Stop — trade request to sell at the Bid price that is equal to or lower than that
specified in the order. The current price level is higher than the value in the order.
Usually this order is placed in anticipation of that the security price, having reached a
certain level, will keep on falling;
 Buy Stop Limit — this type is the combination of the two first types being a stop order
for placing Buy Limit. As soon as the future Ask price reaches the value indicated in the
order, a Buy Limit order will be placed at the level, specified in the order. The current
price is lower than that, reaching which the pending order will be placed.
 Sell Stop Limit — this type is a stop order for placing Sell Limit. As soon as the future
Bid price reaches the value indicated in the order, a Sell Limit order will be placed at
the level, specified in the order. The current price is higher than that, reaching which
the pending order will be placed. The pending order price is higher than the price of its
placing.
— current market state — forecast

— current price — order price
— the price, reaching which the pending order will be placed
— expected growth — expected fall
Take Profit
Take Profit is intended for making a profit when the price of a financial instrument reaches
the forecast level. Execution of this order leads to a complete closure of the position. It is
always connected to an open position or a pending order. The order can be placed only
together with the market or pending order. When checking the conditions of this order for
long positions, the Bid price is used, and when checking short positions — Ask price.
Stop Loss
This order is intended to minimize the losses if the price of a financial instrument begins
moving in the unprofitable direction. If the price of the instrument reaches this level, the
position is fully closed automatically. Such an order is always connected to an open position
or a pending order. The order can be placed only together with a market or a pending order.
When checking the conditions of this order for long positions, the Bid price is used, and when
checking short positions — Ask price.
XI. Types of Execution

There are four order execution modes in the MetaTrader 5 mobile terminal for Android:
 Instant Execution
In this mode, an order is executed at the price offered to a broker. When sending an
order to be executed, the terminal sets the current prices in the order. If the broker
accepts the prices, the order is executed. If not, the so-called "Requote" occurs: the
broker returns prices, at which the order can be executed.
 Request Execution
In this mode, a market order is executed at the price previously received from a
broker. Prices for a certain market order are requested from the broker before the
order is sent. After the prices have been received, order execution at the given price
can be either confirmed or rejected.
 Market Execution
In this order execution mode, a broker makes a decision about the order execution
price without any additional discussion with a trader. Sending an order in such a mode
means advance consent to its execution at this price.
 Exchange Execution
In this mode, trade operations conducted in a client terminal are sent to an external
trading system (exchange). Trade operations are executed at the prices of current
market offers.
Execution mode for each security is defined by the brokerage company.
XII. State of Orders

After an order is formed and sent to the trade server, it may pass the following stages:
 Started — the order correctness has been checked, but it hasn't been yet accepted by
a broker.
 Placed — a dealer has accepted the order.
 Partially filled — the order has been filled partially.
 Filled — the order has been completely filled.
 Canceled — the order is canceled by the client.
 Rejected — the order has been rejected by a dealer.
 Expired — the order is canceled due to its expiration.
You can view the state of orders on tabs "Trade" and "History".
Fill Policy
Except for common rules of order execution set by a broker, a trader can indicate additional
conditions in the "Fill Policy" field of the order placing window:
 Fill or Kill
This policy means that a deal can be executed only with the specified volume. If the
necessary amount of a financial instrument is currently unavailable in the market, the
order will not be executed. The required volume can be filled using several offers
available on the market at the moment;
 Immediate or Cancel
In this case a trader agrees to execute a deal with the volume maximally available in
the market within that indicated in the order. In case the order cannot be filled
completely, the available volume of the order will be filled, and the remaining volume
will be canceled. The possibility of using IOC orders is determined at the trade server.
 Return
This policy is used only for limit orders. In case of partial filling a limit order with
remaining volume is not canceled but processed further.
Use of fill policies depending on the execution type can be shown as the following table:
Type of Execution\Fill Fill or Kill Immediate or Cancel Return

Policy
Instant Execution + — —
Request Execution + — —
Market Execution + — —
Exchange Execution + + —
Limit Orders — — +
XIII.Trade Activity
Trading activity in the MetaTrader 5 for Android implies forming and sending various types of
orders to a broker, as well as managing current positions by modifying and closing them. The
terminal provides ample opportunities of trade management:
 Opening and Closing Positions
 Modification of Positions
 Placing Pending Orders
 Modifying and Deleting Pending Orders
Opening and Closing Positions

Opening of a position or entering the market is the primary buying or selling of a certain
amount of a financial instrument. In the client terminal, this can be done by placing a market
order, as a result of which a deal is conducted. A position can also be opened as a result of
triggering of a pending order.
Then, in order to profit from the difference of rates, it is necessary to close the position.
When you close a trade position, an operation opposite to the first one is performed. For
example, if the first trade operation was buying one lot of GOLD, then to close the position,
sell one lot of the same instrument.
An entire position or a part of it can be closed, depending on the volume of a trade executed
in the opposite direction.
There are different ways to call the order creation dialog:

 In the "Quotes" window, select the required symbol and execute the "New order"
command of the context menu.
 Press "Menu" on any tab and select " New Order".
 If there are open positions or orders, use the commands of the context menu
commands of the "Trade" tab.
Performing one of these actions will open an order placing window corresponding to the
execution type of the selected symbol:
 Instant Execution
 Request Execution
 Market Execution
 Exchange Execution
Once an order is executed, a corresponding record about an opened position appears on the
"Trade" tab, and the order and the deal (deals) will appear in the "History" tab.
Instant Execution
In this execution mode, a market order is filled at the price offered to the broker. The mobile
terminal automatically inserts current prices in the order.
Position Opening
At the first stage of opening a position, you

can specify the following parameters:
Symbol — the symbol for which a trade
operation should be executed.
Trade operation type — select "Instant
execution" for the market operation. In this
field you can also switch to placing a
pending order.
Volume — specify here the volume of a
trade operation in lots. To change the
volume, use the arrow buttons or tap on
the box to indicate the volume using the
keyboard.
To continue, tap "Next" at the bottom of

the window.
Before placing orders, you can specify

additional options:
 Stop Loss — the Stop Loss level in

prices. If you leave this field empty,
this type of order will not be set.
 Take Profit — the Take Profit level in
 deviation — the deviation of the
order execution price from the
specified price, on which the trader
agrees. The larger this value, the less
likely it is to receive a new execution
price (requote) in response to the
order execution request. If the
deviation is less than or equal to the
specified parameter, the order will be
executed at the new price without a
notice. Otherwise, a broker returns
new prices, at which the order can be
executed.
To change the value of a parameter, tap on the appropriate field. The onscreen keyboard has
a number of additional commands for changing values:
 — move cursor left and right.
 — to decrease or increase the value. When holding these buttons for a long
time, the speed of value change increases.
Once all the necessary data have been specified, tap "Sell" or "Buy". In this case an order to
open a short or long positions, respectively, is sent to the broker.
If incorrect Stop Loss and Take Profit are specified in an order, a warning "Invalid S/L or T/P"
appears after you tap the Buy or Sell button and the order is not accepted.
Requote
If during order processing the symbol price has changed by an amount greater than that
indicated in the "Deviation" field, the dealer (the server) cannot accept the order and offers
new execution prices to the trader. In this case, an appropriate message is shown:
If the trader agrees with the new prices, he or she should tap "Accept", and the order will be
executed at the new prices. If the new price does not suit, the trader taps "Reject".
The new prices are valid only for a few seconds. If the trader does not decide during that
time, after tapping any button the order will be requoted again.
Position Closing
In order to close the position you need to tap "Close position" in its context menu on the
"Trade" tab.
Once you tap "Close", the position will be completely

closed.
Request Execution
In the Request Execution mode, prior to performing a trade operation, execution price is
requested from a broker.

 Volume — volume of an order in lots. To
change the volume, use the arrow buttons
or tap on the box to indicate the volume

Parameters of the order can be changed only before you request prices. Once the request is
executed, the trader can only place an order with pre-set parameters.
To receive prices, tap "Request". After that, the "Buy" and "Sell" buttons appear in the
window. The quotes offered after a request are valid for only a few seconds. If during this
time, the trader does not decided, then "Buy" and "Sell" buttons will be hidden again.
