Our order types page also includes examples of how and when to properly utilize numerous types of stop and limit orders, including OCO orders, that are an integral part of forex risk management.

The online forex trading platforms offered through MBCFX allow you the flexibility to enter a wide variety of order types including orders that will help you manage currency risk:

1. Limit Orders
It is an order to buy or sell a currency pair, which is executed when the price is breached. For example, you place an order to buy 100,000 euro at 1.4520. The platform will automatically fill your order when the offer reaches 1.4520. Limit orders can be placed to both buy and sell.
2. Stop Orders
A stop order is a type of limit order that is placed to "lock in" a specified gain or loss, closing the position. Typically a risk management order used by clients to help manage their market exposure, this type of order can also be used to enter into a new position. Stop orders can be used to both buy and sell foreign currency contracts.
