By clicking on “new order”, ![](https://assets.simplefx.com/home-wp/2026/05/26143314/0_New-order.png) you may open a Market order or a Pending order. ![](https://assets.simplefx.com/home-wp/2026/05/26143227/1_Open-order-tab.png) **The OPEN** tab shows the positions that you are currently holding. In this section, there are several terms that every trader should be familiar with: * **Symbol** – the name of the instrument. * **Order ID** – transaction ID. * **Side** – SELL (short position) or BUY (long position). * **Size** – means order volume. For the Forex market, size 1 (1 lot) means 100,000 units of based currency. If you have a position of 0.01 size opened for a standard currency pair, you hold 1000 units of based currency. For equities, size 1 means 1 share. For cryptocurrencies, 1 lot means 100 units of based currency. * **Open Time** – the date and time when a position was opened. * **Open Price** – is a price of an instrument when a position was opened. * **Take Profit** – Take profit is an order to close a previously opened position at a more profitable price for the client than the price at the time of placing the order. When the take profit is reached, the order will be closed. * **Stop Loss** – Stop loss is a closing call for a previously opened position at a less profitable price for the client than the price at the time of placing the order. Stop loss is a limit point that you set for your order. Once this limit point is reached, your order will be closed. It is useful to minimize your losses when the market goes against you. Stop loss points are always set below the current ASK price on buy or above the current BID price on sell. * **Result (points)** – transaction’s earnings in price points. * **Profit (currency)** – transaction’s earnings in currency. * **Action “X” button** – clicking on this icon closes an order. When One-click trading is ON, clicking the “x” button automatically closes trades. When One-click trading is OFF, clicking on “x” expands more details of aggregated trades. https://youtu.be/IudmxIyoTIA?si=U7zfUGRucm9xcBPn **Order Tab: Pending** ---------------------- ![](https://assets.simplefx.com/home-wp/2026/05/26143445/2_Pending-order-tab.png) **The PENDING** tab shows the trades that will be opened in the future if your set conditions are fulfilled.

For the Forex market, size 1 (1 lot) means 100,000 units of based currency. If you have a position of 0.01 size opened for a standard currency pair, you hold 1000 units of based currency. For equities, size 1 means 1 share. For cryptocurrencies, 1 lot means 100 units of based currency. * **Create Time** – date and time when a pending order was placed. * **Expiry Time** – date and time you set, so your trade is no longer active. By default, there is no expiry time set to trade. * **Activation Price** – the price you set so that the position will automatically be executed when your trade reaches this price. * **Take Profit** – Take profit is an order to close a previously opened position at a more profitable price for the client than the price at the time of placing the order. When the take profit is reached, the order will be closed. * **Stop Loss** – Stop loss is a closing call for a previously opened position at a less profitable price for the client than the price at the time of placing the order. Stop loss is a limit point that you set for your order. Once this limit point is reached, your order will be closed. It is useful to minimize your losses when the market goes against you. Stop loss points are always set below the current ASK price on buy or above the current BID price on sell. * **“Eye” icon** – You can show or hide a pending order on the chart by clicking on this icon. * **“X” icon** – You can delete a pending order by clicking on this icon. https://youtu.be/wnGNJgMEXeo?si=2FFHWsamPtAu7Qqm **Order Tab: Closed** --------------------- ![](https://assets.simplefx.com/home-wp/2026/05/26143528/4_Closed-order-tab.png) The **CLOSED** tab presents your trading history.

Click on the download icon to download the trade history of a chosen period. https://youtu.be/seMkigOX-dk?si=gWlr-YnKMrWKsRAg **Balance Information** ----------------------- ![](https://assets.simplefx.com/home-wp/2026/05/26143607/7_Balance-information.png) * **Balance** – equity minus profit. * **Profit & Swap** – earnings or losses on all your opened trades in a given currency. * **Equity** – the sum of balance and profit. * **Margin level** – the ratio of equity to margin. When it falls to 30%, the transaction with the biggest loss is closed automatically. When it drops below 5%, all positions are closed. * **Free margin** – equals equity minus margin. * **Three dots icon** – by clicking on this icon, you can change the settings. **DEMO & LIVE Account** ----------------------- ### DEMO: Here is how you access your Demo account. * First, go to “Accounts & Deposits.” ![](https://assets.simplefx.com/home-wp/2026/05/26143824/accounts-deposits-584x1024.png) * Go to “DEMO Accounts.” ![](https://assets.simplefx.com/home-wp/2026/05/26143941/demo-accounts-1024x684.jpg) * Using **DEMO Accounts**, you can add new demo accounts in different currencies – it is completely free! * You can also change leverage, deposit, and withdraw demo money or execute internal transfers between your existing demo accounts. Test different leverage levels and compare your results with various setups. Change the leverage to another level and check the required margin for any instrument – it should also change. **Hone your trading skills using your demo accounts. If you are confident enough, switch to live trading using your LIVE Accounts.** ### LIVE: ![](https://assets.simplefx.com/home-wp/2026/05/26144043/live-accounts-1024x685.jpg) Using **LIVE Accounts**, you can create a new Live trading account, change your leverage, and make a deposit or withdrawal. **Leverage** ------------ **Leverage** – allows you to trade without risking the full amount of the contract size. At SimpleFX, we offer leverage from 1:1 to as high as 1:1000. ![](https://assets.simplefx.com/home-wp/2026/05/26144228/leverage.png) ### Please take note that: * A decrease in leverage will lead to a higher margin in your trading account, which could lead to the immediate closing of opened positions. * When the leverage increases, small price changes in the underlying asset are magnified, and the amount of margin required is likely to be affected accordingly. * The higher the leverage, the lower the equity you need to invest in your trade. Here are some sample scenarios: * For a contract value of $100,000, for 1:100 leverage with a margin requirement of 1% (Forex), you need $1000 of your equity to purchase this order. * For a contract value of $100,000, for 1:100 leverage with a margin requirement of 10% (Equities US), you need $10,000 of your equity to purchase this order. * For Equities US with a contract value of $5000, for 1:500 leverage with a margin requirement of 2%, you need $100 of your equity to purchase this order. In this example, we use 1:500 leverage, which is 5 times bigger than 1:100 leverage (the standard margin for 1:100 leverage for Equities US is 10%). Thus, the margin required is also 5 times smaller. **Effective Leverage** – due to the different margin requirements (more information in the symbol specifications) for different instruments, effective leverage does not always equal leverage. ### Here are a few examples: * For an account set to 1:500 leverage, the effective leverage for standard currencies (with a required margin of 0.2%) is the leverage set for the account. * For an account set to 1:400 leverage, the effective leverage for commodities (required margin for commodities is 1%), and the effective leverage is 1:100. ### Leverage Levels **Leverage Levels depend on the USD currency. The account balance is converted live from the current USD exchange rate for accounts other than USD.** For a full and always up-to-date leverage levels table, please refer to the official SimpleFX Leverage document: [SimpleFX Leverage Levels (PDF)](https://simplefx.com/resources/SimpleFX_Leverage.pdf) * If your account is below $5000, you may set your leverage up to 1:500 (A), but you may set it lower to 1:200, 1:100, 1:50, 1:25, and so on. * If your account balance is between $5001 and $7000 (B), your highest leverage can be 1:400, but you may set it lower to 1:200, 1:100, 1:50, 1:25, and so on. * If your account balance is between $7001 and $10,000 (C), your highest leverage can be 1:300, but you may set it lower to 1:200, 1:100, 1:50, 1:25 and so on. * If your account balance is between $10,001 and $20,000 (D), your highest leverage can be 1:200, but you may set it lower to 1:100, 1:50, 1:25, 1:10, and so on. **Scenario:** Your account balance is $4000, and you set your leverage to the maximum available level, which is 1:500 (A). You have closed a profitable order and earned $6500. So now your account balance is $10,500, your leverage can now be set up to 1:200. Therefore, our system automatically switches your leverage to 1:200 (D). **Market Order** ---------------- ![](https://assets.simplefx.com/home-wp/2026/05/26144441/market-order-660x1024.png) A **market order** is a buy or sell order that is executed immediately at the best available price on the order book. Before opening a trade, it is important to understand the terms listed below: * **SELL** – short position. * **BUY** – long position. * **Units** – this is the “volume” of your trade. The standard size is 1 – it is called 1 lot. For currencies, precious metals, indices, commodities, and cryptocurrencies, the minimum contract size and contract step is 0.01. For example, you can open a trade for 0.03 lot of BTCUSD or 1.54 lot of DAX30. However, the minimum contract size and contract step for US Equities is 1. This means that you can open a trade for 2 lot FB.US or 100 lot AMZN.US. You can’t open a trade for 1.5 lot FB.US nor for 3.6 lot FB.US. * **Trade value** – the value of your trade in currency. * **1 Point** – the value of your trade-in points. * **Required margin** – margin is a percentage amount of the total trade size, which SimpleFX requires as a good-faith deposit in order to open that position. This amount is not a fee or transaction cost; it is a portion of your account equity set aside within your account as a deposit towards the trade. * **Free margin** – equity minus margin. * **Take Profit** – Take profit is an order to close a previously opened position at the more profitable price for the client than the price at the time of placing the order. When the take profit is reached, the order will be closed. * **Stop Loss** – Stop loss is a closing call for a previously opened position at a less profitable price for the client than the price at the time of placing the order. Stop loss is a limit point that you set for your order. Once this limit point is reached, your order will be closed. It is useful if you want to minimize your losses when the market goes against you. Stop loss points are always set below the current ASK price on buy or above the current BID price on sell. Take Profit secures your earnings before the price drives in the other direction. Stop Loss prevents you from a bigger-than-expected loss. Give them a try! **Pending Order** ----------------- ![](https://assets.simplefx.com/home-wp/2026/05/26144532/pending-order-490x1024.png) A **pending order** is a buy or sell order that you can set up to be executed in the future at your specified price. Here are important terms that you need to understand: * **SELL** – short position. * **BUY** – long position. * **Units** – this is the “volume” of your trade. The standard size is 1 – it is called 1 lot. For currencies, precious metals, indices, commodities, and cryptocurrencies, the minimum contract size and contract step is 0.01. For US Equities, the minimum contract size and contract step is 1. * **Trade value** – the value of your trade in currency. * **1 Point** – the value of your trade-in points. * **Price** – the price at which your trade is going to be activated. * **Required margin** – margin is a percentage amount of the total trade size, which SimpleFX requires as a good-faith deposit to open that position. This amount is not a fee or transaction cost; it is a portion of your account equity set aside within your account as a deposit towards the trade. * **Free margin** – equity minus margin. * **Expiry date** – the date when your trade is no longer active. * **Expiry time** – the time when your trade is no longer active. * **Take Profit** – Take profit is an order to close a previously opened position at the more profitable price for the client than the price at the time of placing the order. When the take profit is reached, the order will be closed. * **Stop Loss** – Stop loss is a closing call for a previously opened position at a less profitable price for the client than the price at the time of placing the order. Stop loss is a limit point that you set for your order. Once this limit point is reached, your order will be closed. It is useful if you want to minimize your losses when the market goes against you. Stop loss points are always set below the current ASK price on buy or above the current BID price on sell. Take Profit secures your earnings before the price drives in the other direction. Stop Loss prevents you from a bigger-than-expected loss. Give them a try! **Price List** -------------- ![](https://assets.simplefx.com/home-wp/2026/05/26144653/price-list-1024x863.png) A **Price List** is a list that presents all available instruments to trade. You can show or hide the Price List by clicking on the toggle arrow on the right side of this section. * **Symbol** – the symbol of the instrument. * **Sell** – the SELL price of an instrument.
