Learning how to place a limit order is the best way to stop chasing price and start positioning yourself like a pro. In this tutorial, we demonstrate exactly how to execute limit orders using Optimus Flow, our professional-grade trading platform powered by Quantower.
This guide focuses on the technical “how-to” of order entry. You will learn the multiple ways to execute a limit order—whether you prefer the speed of the Depth of Market (DOM) or the visual intuition of Chart Trading. We cover everything from placing orders directly on the bid/ask columns to advanced drag-and-drop modifications and the use of automatic bracket orders for risk management.
In this video, you will learn:
– Limit vs. Market: Choosing your exact fill price instead of reacting.
– DOM Trading: Identifying Bids (Limit Buys) and Asks (Limit Sells) on the ladder.
– Risk Management: Using “Brackets” to automatically attach Stop Losses and Take Profits.
– Chart Trading: Step-by-step instructions for right-clicking to place Buy and Sell limits.
– Order Management: Dragging and dropping orders, and using the “Flatten” button to exit.

There is a substantial risk of loss in futures trading. Past performance is not indicative of future results. When considering technical analysis, please remember educational charts are presented with the benefit of hindsight. Market conditions are always evolving, and technical trading theories and approaches may not always work as intended. The placement of contingent orders by you or broker, or trading advisor, such as a “stop-loss” or “stop-limit” order, will not necessarily limit your losses to the intended amounts, since market conditions may make it impossible to execute such orders. The high degree of leverage that is often obtainable in commodity interest trading can work against you as well as for you. The use of leverage can lead to large losses as well as gains. Optimus Futures, LLC is not affiliated with nor does it endorse any trading system, methodologies, newsletter, or other similar service. We urge you to conduct your own due diligence.
