FAQs

How do I set orders on TradingView? ›

When you open your TradingView execution platform, you see the Buy/Sell buttons directly on your chart (1). In the middle of the field, you see the spread for the market. On the right, you can adjust the contracts. By clicking on either the Buy or Sell button, the order execution window opens up.

Choose a market and open its trade ticket. Select 'ORDER' from the top bar. Choose whether to buy or sell and enter your order price, which dictates the level at which your trade will open. Choose your quantity and decide when the order should cancel.

An order can be placed through the chart's or trading panel's context menu, the Plus menu on the chart or through the Buy/Sell buttons. Once the order ticket is opened you can set the “price”, “stop loss” and “take profit” values using either pips or prices.

You meet with or speak with a stockbroker, who accepts your market orders and facilitates payments between you and other trading parties. Unless you are borrowing on margin, you have a cash account with your broker to help identify your investor profile. You buy at the offer (or ask) price and sell at the bid price.
