MT4:

On the MetaTrader 4 platform, you can place a pending order via the main 'Order' window.

  • Simply change the 'Type' from 'Market Execution' to 'Pending Order'.

  • A drop-down menu will then appear that will allow you to specify whether the pending order you are about to place is a Buy Limit, Sell Limit, Buy Stop or a Sell Stop Order.

Webtrader:

On the CMTrading Webtrader platform, you can place a pending order via the main 'Order' window.

  • Select the direction of the instrument (Sell or Buy)

  • a popup (trade Panel) will open to choose the execution you want or the pending order

then click on ( pending order ) and set it as you wish.

❗️Important Note: When the market is volatile, pending orders are not guaranteed and they might be executed at a price different than the one you have specified in your order.
