الدرس ٣: أنواع الصفقات المستخدمة في التداول

Summary

The lesson explains basic trade directions and order types using a cake-price analogy.

Trade directions

• Long/buy: Buy an asset expecting its price to rise.
• Short/sell: Sell an asset first, expecting its price to fall, then buy it back at a lower price. The example describes a fall from $10 to $5, but the accompanying profit figures are garbled and should not be relied on.

Order types

• Market order: Executes immediately at the best available price. In an illiquid market, the fill may be worse than expected; this is known as slippage.
• Limit order: Sets the price at which you are willing to buy or sell. It may not execute if the market does not reach that price.
• Stop order: Activates when the market reaches a specified trigger price. The example sets a stop at $8, with a possible execution around $7.90, illustrating that the fill can differ from the trigger price.

Liquidity and execution risk

The speaker says slippage is generally less likely in highly liquid major-currency markets, but can occur around major news or when trading less-liquid pairs. Mexican peso/Japanese yen is given as an example of a less-liquid forex pair.

The general caution is to consider liquidity and execution risk when choosing an order type.
