MarginCall Order Types

Yes, MarginCall has market orders. The people asking in discussions are not dense; the ticket is crowded and the sim is proud of limits. Use this page as a chooser. The longer why sits in How to Trade.

Pick one on purpose

Limit — default. You name the worst price. It may rest forever. Use it when Avail is low, when you are walking size, when you are opening a control campaign, or when you do not want to educate the offer about your urgency.

Market — take liquidity now. Use it on a liquid name, small size, tight spread, honest depth. Use it to flatten remaining risk when the thesis is dead and bids still exist. Do not use it to buy a story into an empty book.

Stop-loss — fuse. Place it closer than the margin graveyard. A stop that sits beyond liquidation is decoration.

Trailing-stop — fuse that climbs. Use it when you are already right and want the tape to fund the stop. Do not arm it as a substitute for a first stop on a fresh 10x long.

Quick-size buttons (25 / 50 / 75) now sit under the quantity box. They still send whatever type you selected. Seventy-five percent of a large cash pile is not a small order.

Decision tree

1. Can you see depth and Avail? If no, do not market.
2. Is this an entry or an emergency exit? Entries prefer limits. Emergencies may need a market while bids last.
3. Is Hard to Borrow flashing? Limits in, plans out. Markets both ways get expensive.
4. Are you writing options or sitting in futures? Know how you flatten. Written options can be bought back even when cash is posted as margin.
5. Still unsure? Send a tiny limit and watch. That is the tutorial the book actually offers.

Ticket hygiene from launch week

Buy and Sell should show a price. The limit hint should not slide under Bid. Positions should show realised P/L and a Close button that does not flash. If TP/SL handles hide live P/L, look at the open-position strip and the thesis card. If a fill never appears, check Positions versus Markets and the known issues list before doubling down.

Global Markets uses proper tickets with live cost and P/L after the charting update. Commodities, FX, and futures check affordability before fill. That stops some cartoon ticks; it does not make a market order wise.

When the chooser is done, go back to playing. Read Getting Started if you have not completed a clean fill yet. Read Controls if you cannot find the rail that opens Orders. The ticket will wait. The monitor will not.

Fat-finger rules

If you are one click away from a marketable order and you feel rushed, you picked the wrong type. Switch to a limit, reduce quantity with the 25 percent row, and reread Avail. If you still want speed, you are flattening, not hunting. Flattening is allowed to be ugly. Hunting should be boring. Keep this page next to the margin calculator so a fast click still has a fuse. Launch-week missing confirms are not permission to skip that fuse.
