Trading Terminal

Manage lot size, stop loss, and take profit

Last updated Aug 16, 20261 min read

What do these controls do?

In the order panel, Volume (lots) sets the order size. Stop Loss is a level you define to limit potential loss, and Take Profit is a level you define to capture intended profit. No single value is right for every account or trade; it should align with your plan, capital, and acceptable risk.

Set volume

  1. Find Volume (lots) in the order panel.
  2. Enter the amount manually or use the displayed volume options.
  3. Check the displayed minimum and maximum allowed for the symbol.
  4. Before submitting, confirm the volume matches your account and planned risk.

Set stop loss and take profit

  1. Open Stop Loss and Take Profit.
  2. Choose the entry mode when the Terminal provides it: manual entry, dollar risk, or percentage risk.
  3. Enter the appropriate value and review its effect on the order.
  4. Before sending the order, recheck trade direction, volume, and entered levels.

For open positions

When position-management controls are available, review or change Stop Loss and Take Profit levels for an open position. Changing a level is also a trading decision; before confirming, make sure the correct position and value are selected.
