==Place Order==
Place Order menu allows you to place Stop, Limit and Stop-Limit orders as well as to automate certain methods of entering or exiting positions. It’s perfect for avoiding repetitive tasks, increasing your productivity and focusing on trading. Automation is especially useful when you need to apply an order pair quickly (see [[https://www.multicharts.com/trading-software/index.php/Chart_Trading_Orders_and_Strategies Orders and Strategies]]).

Place Order menu strategies give you competitive advantage over other traders: they allow you to exit the position faster than others. They also reduce the risk of two orders execution and would be especially useful for traders who use pyramiding strategies. Each strategy is an OCO group – if one order is filled, the other is canceled.
<div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">'''Note''': Not all brokers support server-based OCO groups. Consequently, there is no 100% guarantee that only one order will be executed (See [[OCO-Orders Risk]])</div>
Orders and Entry Strategies icons are rearranged automatically: the last used icon is displayed in the top left corner of the menu.
One Cancels Other (OCO) orders are the price orders sent in a group. When any of OCO orders is filled or partially filled, the system cancels or reduces size of other orders in this OCO-group.
<div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">'''Note''': Reduce size functionality is supported by Interactive Brokers only: if one order in OCO group is partially filled, others are reduced in size proportionally. </div>
All Entry Strategies are placed with OCO-orders.
