Market Order – an order for purchase-sale of currency pair at present price. Execution by broker of this order leads to an immediate opening of trade position. Currency is bought at ASK price, and is sold at BID price. This is the fastest way to open position, but it should be noted that under high volatility “Market” order is not the best possible option.
Pending Order – an order for the future purchase-sale of currency pair at specified price. It is used for opening trading position on condition that future quotes are equal to preset level. Its advantage is that broker will fulfill it regardless of connection with trading terminal and server. In this case trader does not have to stick to market all the time. Broker can remove order only if margin is insufficient. In other cases order is effective until it is fulfilled, expired or canceled by trader.
