Why Orders are Important in Forex Markets?

The Forex market operates 24/7, causing constant fluctuations in investor holdings' value. It is impractical to manually manage open positions round-the-clock. Orders are essential tools for passive position management, allowing investors to keep their trades within certain bounds despite the continuous market movement. By utilizing orders, traders can automate their strategies, execute trades at specific conditions, minimize losses, and book profits efficiently, especially in a market as volatile as Forex.

With the growing adoption of artificial intelligence, the Forex market is moving towards utilizing automated trading algorithms to trade effectively on a 24/7 basis. This shift aims to enhance trading precision and optimize decision-making in response to changing market conditions.
