The order form lets you configure and submit trades directly to the exchange.

​
Open the Order Panel

Click the Buy or Sell button in the top-left corner of the chart to open the Create Order panel.
If no exchange account is connected yet, you’ll be prompted to link one first. See Connect or Create an Exchange Account.

​
Supported Order Types

  • Market Order
  • Limit Order
When you open the order form directly rather than from the chart, Market is preselected. If your saved settings specify a different type, that one is used instead.

​
Basic Parameters

  • Side: Buy / Sell
  • Price: Manual input or chart-based adjustment
  • Quantity: Position size
  • Order Value / Cost: Auto-calculated
  • Buying Power: Funds available for this order
  • Time in Force: Good Till Cancelled (GTC)

​
Buying power and leverage

Buying power shows what you can afford on the selected account. On spot instruments it is always displayed. On derivatives the exchange only reports it for certain margin modes — on Bybit these are Isolated and Cross — so in Portfolio margin mode the field is not shown. Leverage follows the same split. It appears for derivatives in Isolated and Cross margin modes, both in the order summary and in the confirmation window. In Portfolio margin mode the exchange recalculates leverage dynamically from your whole portfolio, so no fixed value is shown rather than a misleading one.

​
Trigger Price (Conditional Logic)

You can optionally enable Trigger Price:
  • Last Price — based on latest trade price
  • Mark Price — fair price used to reduce liquidation spikes
  • Index Price — aggregated price across exchanges

​
Risk Management

Before execution, configure your basic risk controls:
  • Take Profit
  • Stop Loss
  • Risk/Reward (RR)
Take Profit and Stop Loss each carry a checkbox showing whether the level is active. Clicking anywhere on the control toggles it, so you can arm or disarm a level without clearing the price you already entered. These parameters can be set directly in the order form or visually adjusted on the chart.

​
Reduce-Only

Enable Reduce-Only to ensure the order strictly reduces or closes an existing position without accidentally opening a new one.

​
Confirmation

Before submission, a confirmation modal will display:
  • Order Price
  • Quantity
  • Order Cost
  • Order Value
  • Estimated Fee (approximate, based on exchange data)
  • TP/SL levels
  • Leverage — for derivatives in Isolated or Cross margin mode; omitted in Portfolio mode
  • Risk and Reward ratio
Click Confirm to send the order to the exchange.

​
Stand-by mode

After you place an order, the order form doesn’t close — it switches to stand-by mode and stays ready for your next trade. It keeps your previous settings, including the order Side, but the side isn’t highlighted until you reactivate the form. To reactivate it, click any interactive element in the form:
  • Click a Side tab (Buy or Sell) to start the next order on that side.
  • Click anywhere else in the form to reactivate it with the same side you used last.

​
Troubleshooting

​
”You must agree to the Trading Terms before trading this contract”

Your order was rejected by Bybit and never reached the market. Bybit requires a separate, one-time agreement to its Trading Terms for certain contracts, and that agreement can only be given on Bybit’s own site — TakeProfit cannot accept it on your behalf. This applies to TradFi Perpetuals — contracts that track traditional assets such as gold (XAUUSDT) or shares, rather than crypto. To resolve it:
  1. Open bybit.com and log in to the same account you connected to TakeProfit.
  2. Go to the trading page of the contract you were trying to trade — for example XAUUSDT.
  3. A Trading Terms dialog appears. Read it, tick I have read and agree to the above Trading Terms, and click Confirm.
  4. Return to the TakeProfit terminal and place your order again.
The exchange reports this as error 110123 (“You must agree to the Trading Terms”) or 110125 (“You must agree to the Trading Terms before trading this contract”). Both are resolved the same way.
