Limit Orders & Stop Orders

Pending Orders are orders that are used to open a new trade transaction after the market reaches a price specified by the trader.

Pending Orders are used to buy or sell when price quote attains a certain price target.

When a specific price level is reached then a pending order is executed.

Pending Orders are used to enter a trade at a specified price level. It's almost impossible to monitor the market every second and this is why a pending order can be used. If you feel the market might take a certain action, such as break through a particular price level which it has been touching but it hasn't been able to break this level, then as a trader you'd want to use a Pending Order. Once the price quote crosses your specified level, your pending order is executed.

There are two different types of pending orders - xauusd limit order and xauusd stop order.

These pending orders are also known as gold entry orders.
