The first launch of MT5/cTrader looks intimidating. Let's break it down — what is where and why.
I'll show you how to open a market order on EUR/USD in MT5. The process is the same for both demo and live accounts.
In MT5: double-click a symbol in the Market Watch or press F9. The "New Order" dialog will open — the same one shown in the mockup above.
Start with 0.01 lot (micro-lot). That's $1,000 notional volume. On EUR/USD, 1 pip movement with 0.01 lot = $0.10.
If you make a mistake, you'll lose cents, not tens of dollars. The goal of your first trades is to learn the platform, not to profit.
BUY — you think the price will rise. Opens at the Ask price.
SELL — you think the price will fall. Opens at the Bid price.
These two orders protect your deposit from being wiped out. Never open a trade without a Stop Loss.
Automatically closes a losing trade when the set level is reached. Limits maximum loss.
Automatically closes a profitable trade when your target is reached. Locks in profit without trader intervention.
How to modify or close a trade. What to do if the market moves against you.
In the bottom Trade panel — right-click the position → "Modify or Delete Order". Enter new SL/TP values and click "Modify".
In the Trade panel: click ✕ to the right of the position. Or right-click → "Close Position". The position will close at the current market price.
Margin Call — warning: free margin has dropped below 50–100%. FXPro will send a notification.
Stop Out — at FXPro set at 20–50%: the platform automatically closes positions starting from the most unprofitable.
