Conditional and TP/SL orders

Five steps to a conditional order

1. 1Open Conditional on Trade and select take-profit, stop-loss, breakout, trailing stop or OCO.
2. 2Enter a trigger price; for OCO, enter both take-profit and stop-loss prices.
3. 3Choose quantity and verify direction; take-profit and stop-loss should sit on sensible sides of the current price.
4. 4After submission, follow status in Open orders, Conditional orders and the linked position.
5. 5Balance, position, limit and risk checks still run when the condition triggers.

A trigger is not a guaranteed fill

Funds are not frozen before the condition triggers; once it does, the full balance, position and risk checks still run. A met condition only means the system will attempt to place the order — not that the order will be accepted, and certainly not that it will fill.

Conditional orders on US symbols are subject to the same daily outage window: a trigger inside it still cannot be sent.
