Setting Your Trading Mode
You can change your trading mode at any time by clicking the "Trading Mode" button.
There are 3 trading modes to choose from:
Click and Confirm
One-Click
Double-Click
The default trading mode for all accounts
is "Click and Confirm."
You also can choose your order type ("At Best" or "Market Range") for the "One-Click" and "Double Click" modes in this window. Click here to learn more about "At Best" and "Market Range Order" types.
Click and Confirm
This is the default trading mode. Every time you buy, sell, or close a position, you will receive a confirmation window with the parameters of the order. This allows you to easily check that you have keyed in your order correctly before making it.
One Click
To open a buy or sell position, simply click on the "Buy" or
"Sell" price for the currency pair you want. You can set the number of lots you want to trade in the dealing rates box before clicking on the price.
Double Click
This trading mode works just like One Click trading mode, but instead of making one click to make an order, you double-click, as you do when opening a program in Microsoft Windows.
The Advantages of One-Click Trading
"One-Click Trading" was designed with the news-event trader in mind. It is a useful method to improve the speed of your order entry. In today's volatile financial markets, every second can count, and "One-Click Trading" (especially when combined with "At Best" orders) can give you an edge in navigating them.
