How do I place a trade on TWS?

You will need to select the product with .GM and double click on it. (If the product you want to trade is not visible add it to your market watch list first)

Choose your volume, choose between ‘Market Order’, ‘Limit Order’, or ‘Stop Entry Order’, input the trade size and then hit enter. Optionally you can add any ‘Stop Loss’ and ‘Take Profit’ levels for limit and stop orders and then place your order. For more details please check our Risk Management page.
