With the NEW ORDER main menu option or pressing F9, we will get the window to put market orders.

In the Order window:

Volume: The size of the lot. A lot equals to 100,000 units of the pair meant to be sold or bought. 0.1 lots equal 10,000 units.

Stop Loss: The value on wich our order will be closed in a loss situation.

Take Profit: The value on which our order will close in case of a profit situation.

Comment: Comments about the order.
