Executing Trades on Deriv Platform
Our platform executes trades through multiple liquidity providers to ensure best available pricing. Average execution speed is approximately 0.3 seconds for market orders, minimizing slippage during volatile sessions. Orders can be placed via MT5 or the web-based DTrader interface.
Both interfaces offer real-time pricing, depth of market data, and seamless order management. MT5 is recommended for advanced analysis, while DTrader suits traders preferring a simplified layout.
Order Types and Execution Methods
Market orders execute immediately at current prices. Pending orders include buy and sell limits and stops, allowing entry at specific levels. Our platform supports trailing stops that adjust dynamically with market movement.
Stop loss and take profit orders are essential for risk control, automatically closing positions at predefined levels. Margin requirements update in real time based on leverage and position size, providing transparency to Pakistani traders.
Risk Management for Pakistani Traders
Proper risk management is crucial to protect capital and optimize returns. We advise limiting risk to 2-3% of your account balance per trade. Our platform offers tools for position sizing, margin monitoring, and automatic stop loss placement.
Stop loss orders help cap losses, while take profit orders lock in gains. Negative balance protection ensures traders cannot lose more than their deposited amounts, a key safeguard when using high leverage.
Pakistani traders should also track local economic indicators affecting PKR exchange rates. Our integrated economic calendar highlights major Pakistani and global events to guide trade timing.

- Use stop loss orders consistently
