Place your first trade

From choosing a symbol to confirming an order, and what happens after you submit.

MechanismLast reviewed: 2026-09-09

Four steps to a submitted order

  1. 1Choose a symbol from Markets or Trade and verify its name, code and market.
  2. 2Review the chart, order book and available funds, then choose buy or sell.
  3. 3Choose limit or market and enter an amount or quantity.
  4. 4Review fees and the order summary, submit, then follow it under Open orders.

Fees are shown on the confirmation step

Trading, withdrawals and other actions may incur fees as published and subject to change; placing an order constitutes acceptance of the fees then in effect. A fee breakdown is shown before every order is confirmed — check it before you submit.

After submission

  • Order status appears under Open orders; filled orders move to trade history.
  • Filled orders cannot be cancelled, on any upstream channel.
  • An account that has not completed KYC can deposit but cannot trade and cannot withdraw.

US equities have a fixed outage window on every trading day; orders inside it fail. See section 3 of “Invite-only access: the risks you must know” under Risk.
