Difference between market and pending orders

Zuperior offers two primary order types:

  1. Market Execution

    • Executes immediately at the current market price.
    • Use this when you want to enter a trade right now.
    • Subject to the current spread and slippage.
  2. Pending Orders

    • A conditional order that waits for the price to reach a specific level before triggering.
    • Buy Limit / Sell Limit: Enter below/above current price.
    • Buy Stop / Sell Stop: Enter above/below current price.

How to set a pending order:

  • Open the New Order window in the terminal.
  • Select Pending Order from the execution dropdown.
  • Set your desired price level and volume.
  • Click Place to schedule the trade.
