There are several ways to open a position on xStation. You can do this with the following steps:

  • Double-click the selected instrument in the Market Watch window

  • Right-click in the chart window of the selected instrument and select the "New order" option

  • Press the F9 key on your keyboard

After performing one of the above actions, the order window will be displayed with the following options to choose from:

  • Volume

  • Stop loss and take profit settings

After you set your order parameters above, you have the choice of clicking Buy - if you expect the value of the instrument to go up, or Sell if you think the market will go down (CFDs).
