How to place an order on TradingView
How to place an order
1. Click the "Buy" or "Sell" button on the chart, or open the order ticket from the trading panel
2. Choose your order type (market, limit, stop, or stop-limit)
3. Enter the quantity and any required price fields
4. Review the order preview and confirm
Note: When one-click trading is turned on, your order is sent immediately when you click — no preview is shown.
Supported order types
| Order type | What it does |
| Market | Fills immediately at the best available price |
| Limit | Rests on the order book and fills only at your chosen price or better |
| Stop | Sends a market order once the trigger price is reached |
| Stop-limit | Sends a limit order once the trigger price is reached |
One-click trading
One-click trading is a TradingView setting that controls whether you see a confirmation preview before each order is sent.
- One-click trading off (default): Every order placement and every position close shows a preview that you must confirm
- One-click trading on: Orders and close-position actions are sent immediately when you click. Use with care
Take profit and stop loss
Take profit (TP) and stop loss (SL) help you lock in gains or limit losses automatically.
- You can attach TP and SL to a market or limit order at the time you place it
- Stop and stop-limit orders don't support attaching TP/SL at order entry at this time
- Each position supports one take profit and one stop loss. They work as a pair: whichever one fills first cancels the other
How to close a position
Open the "Positions" tab, find the position you want to close, and click "Close". You can close the full position at market, or enter a smaller quantity to do a partial close. If One-click trading is off, you'll see a preview before the close is sent.
