Main Components #

1. Broker Selection Dropdown: Choose the broker of your choice once you have established connection using the API credentials
2. Buy/Sell Side Buttons: Chose side of the order
3. Order Type tabs: Choose the Order type. GoCharting supports the following four Order types
   • Limit Order: A limit order is an order to buy or sell a stock at a specific price or better. A buy limit order can only be executed at the limit price or lower, and a sell limit order can only be executed at the limit price or higher. A limit order is not guaranteed to execute.
   • Market Order: A market order is a buy or sell order to be executed immediately at the current market prices. As long as there are willing sellers and buyers, market orders are filled. Market orders are used when certainty of execution is a priority over the price of execution.
   • Stop Order: A stop order, also referred to as a stop–loss order, is an order to buy or sell a stock once the price of the stock reaches a specified price, known as the stop price. When the stop price is reached, a stop order becomes a market order. A buy stop order is entered at a stop price above the current market price.
   • Stop Limit Order: A stop–limit order triggers the submission of a limit order, once the stock reaches, or breaks through, a specified stop price. A stop–limit order consists of two prices: the stop price and the limit price. The stop price is the price that activates the limit order and is based on the last trade price.
4. Order specific controls based on broker: Enter the important parameters of the Order. Typical ones are:
   • Limit Price
   • Stop Price
   • Quantity
5. Take Profit/Stop Loss Entry
   • Take Profit: A take profit order is a standing order put in place by traders to maximize their profits. It specifies a certain price above the purchase price, which is chosen by the trader. If the price of a security reaches that limit, it will automatically trigger a sale.
   • Stop Loss: A stop–loss order is an order placed with a broker to buy or sell a specific stock once the stock reaches a certain price. A stop–loss is designed to limit an investor’s loss on a security position. For example, setting a stop–loss order for 10% below the price at which you bought the stock will limit your loss to 10%.
