Understanding Order Limits and Trade Size

Updated over a week ago

At FXTRADING.com, all five account types have a maximum order limit of 200 orders across all trading platforms, including MT4, MT5, Web Trader, and FXTRADING.com Trader. This means you can have a combined total of 200 open positions and pending orders at any given time.

Maximum Trade Size Per Order

The maximum trade size per order varies depending on the trading instrument. For example, forex pairs allow a maximum of 100 lots per order. This means that if you want to open a position of 20,000 lots in forex, you would theoretically need to place 200 separate orders, each with 100 lots.

While FXTRADING.com provides the flexibility to place up to 200 orders simultaneously, and each order can be filled with the maximum tradable volume (which varies by instrument - please refer to the Maximum Trade Size Limits article for details), it's crucial to consider several important factors:

Key Considerations

Market Liquidity and Risk Exposure: When placing large volumes across multiple orders, you must account for:

  • Available market liquidity

  • Your overall risk exposure

  • Potential slippage that may occur

  • The best executable price available in the market

These factors can directly or indirectly impact your order execution quality and final trading costs. We recommend carefully evaluating these elements before placing large-volume orders to ensure optimal trading outcomes.
