Alternate ordering methods

Hi Everyone,
I was wondering if any one places orders by e-mail, chat, or phone instead of using the trading software. I am not able to use MT4 at work but can get some Java charts and the indicators I use are available on them.

Thanks,

Hi Labrat407, yes you can contact your broker by phone and place orders that way.

Good Luck

Have you tried it? What was your experience? Slippage? Time? etc.? Did it show in your MT4 Trade window or in the Account history?

The desk gives you a quote, and you can take it or not. If you take too much time thinking, you will get a requote.

Theres some special lingo involved. I think theres an article on investopedia about it. I never placed an order via phone myself, but i think it would come in handy to know about this stuff, in case things go belly-up with the online trading-platform, and you want to place an order on the phone fast.

I was thinking about that and also closing orders.
