If you are long, place sell orders above the current market price, or sell stop orders below the current market price. To get your orders filled without delay, check the current market price before placing your orders. That way, you can immediately determine what type of order you should place. And remember, not every exchange accepts every type of order. Please consult our table of orders accepted on each exchange.
Prices are close to the current market price.
Open Orders Open orders are active from the time they enter the pits until you cancel them, they are filled or the contract expires. Prices are far away from the current market price. If a contract goes into a fast market, orders are not held. This means orders may not be filled, or could be filled long after the price wished for was triggered. Terms and Conditions of use.
