Locate the lot size or volume field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2. Enter the trade size based on your account balance and risk plan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tip: To understand more about trade size and lot, please read <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/discover\/what-are-lots-in-forex-and-how-to-calculate-lot-sizes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this article<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-1-502x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-68009\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.49046619833956756;width:396px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3.

Traders should understand the market, check the spread, review recent price movement, and consider any upcoming events before opening a position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Should beginners use buy or sell first?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is no fixed answer. A buy order is used when traders expect the price to rise, while a sell order is used when traders expect the price to fall. The decision should be based on analysis, not preference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I set an alert before placing a trade?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. Price alerts can help traders monitor key levels. For example, a trader can set an alert for XAUUSD at 4100 and wait for the app to notify them when the level is reached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is trade size important?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trade size affects how much the account may gain or lose from price movement. A larger trade size increases exposure, margin usage, and potential risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do I need to set stop loss and take profit?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stop loss and take profit are not always mandatory, but they are useful risk management tools. A stop loss helps limit potential loss, while a take profit helps define a planned exit level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I change my stop loss or take profit after opening a trade?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, traders can adjust stop loss and take profit levels after opening a trade. Any changes should follow the trader\u2019s strategy and risk plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What should I check before confirming a trade?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before confirming, check the instrument, buy or sell direction, trade size, order type, stop loss, take profit, estimated margin, and trading costs. This helps reduce the chance of placing the wrong order.<\/p>\n\r\n\n<!-- vt-src:66734 -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn how to place your first trade on the VT Markets app, from selecting an instrument and setting trade parameters to managing risk and monitoring your position.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":87,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[88],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-69133","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-faq"],"acf":{"acf_article_selection_author":null},"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO Pro 5.0.1.1 -
