Opening a trade on Fintevo is straightforward and flexible. We offer three (3) main intuitive methods to suit your trading style - whether you prefer a comprehensive trading panel, quick chart-based execution or lightening fast right-click shortcuts. This guide walks you through each approach step by step.
Option 1: Trading Panel
The trading panel gives you full control with all parameters in one place.
Step 1: Open 'Widgets' Menu from Main Dashboard & Select 'Trading Panel'
Navigate to your platform's widget menu (reference image 1) and locate the 'Trading Panel' option (reference image 2).
Select it to add it to your workspace. This opens the interface you need to manage your positions and execute trades (reference image 3).

Step 2: Select Your Trading Account and Instrument
Make sure you've selected the correct trading account and your desired instrument.
In the example below, notice the trading account indicated in the top-left corner of the Trading Panel. You cannot undo the trading account selection after the trade execution. So, this is critical to double check as the trading account you select here is where your trade will be executed. We've selected ESM26 as our example instrument for demonstration purposes only and does not constitute trading advice.
Step 3: Choose Buy or Sell
Select your desired direction: 'Buy' to open a long position or 'Sell' to open a short position. In the above image reference, we're simply selecting 'Buy' just to guide you through the process for demonstration purposes only.
Step 4: Select Your Order Type
Market (selected in this example): Executes immediately at the current market price for fastest execution. Other options like Limit, Stop and Stop Limit allow you to set specific price levels for the trade to trigger.
Limit: Triggers only when the price reaches your specified level.
Stop: Executes when the price hits your stop level.
Stop Limit: Combines both stop and limit conditions.
Step 5: Specify Your Quantity
Enter the number of units you want to trade. Adjust this based on your risk tolerance, account size and trading strategy. In this example, the quantity is set to 1,000 units for demonstration purposes only.
Step 6: Set Take Profit & Stop Loss (Optional)
Expand the "Take Profit/Stop Loss" section (reference image 1) to set automatic exit levels. Click the Take Profit and/or Stop Loss toggle to enable it (reference image 2).
Take Profit: Automatically closes your trade at a specified profit level
Stop Loss: Automatically closes your trade to limit losses

Step 7: Execute Your Trade
Click the rectangular purple button to open your trade. Your position will appear in your Positions panel immediately.
Note: The "@0.00" price shown is because this demonstration was captured during market closed hours. During live market hours, the price will simply reflect the current market rate.
Option 2: On-Chart Trading
For traders who prefer working directly on price charts, the on-chart method offers speed and visual context.
Step 1: Open the Chart Trading Panel
Click the Trade icon (↑↓) in the top toolbar of your chart. A simplified trading panel appears directly on your chat, keeping your focus on price action.
Step 2: Choose Buy or Sell
Select your desired direction based on your chart analysis.
Step 3: Select Your Order Type
Choose between Market, Limit, Stop or Stop Limit orders. Market is selected in this example for immediate execution and demonstration purposes only.
Step 4: Specify Your Quantity
Enter your trade size. In this example, the quantity is set to 100 units for demonstration purposes only.
Step 5: Execute Your Trade
Click the green "Buy" button or the red "Sell" button to execute instantly. Your trade opens immediately at the current market price (for market orders).
Option 3: Right-Click Chart Menu
The fastest method for experienced traders who want minimal clicks and maximum speed. Right-click anywhere on your chart to access a menu with instant trading options.
Type 1: Buy Market / Sell Market
Instantly open a position at the current market price. Perfect for traders who've already decided their entry point through chart analysis.
Buy Market: Opens a long position immediately
Sell Market: Opens a short position immediately
Type 2: Buy @ [Price] Stop / Sell @ [Price] Limit
Place pending orders at specific price levels without opening a position immediately. In this example:
Buy @ 6,949.75 Stop: Your buy order executes automatically when price rises to this level
Sell @ 6,949.75 Limit: Your sell order executes automatically when price falls to this level
