Price Volatility & Slippage: When trade confirmations are disabled, orders are dispatched instantly. During periods of sharp market volatility or thin liquidity, execution prices may differ slightly from the requested quote due to market slippage.
Volume Verification: Always verify your default lot size before interacting with live charts to prevent accidental order placement with unintended trade sizes.
Troubleshooting when executing a trade in VT Markets App
"Insufficient Margin" or Rejected Order: Verify that your account has sufficient Free Margin to meet the margin requirements for the requested lot size. If floating losses on open positions have reduced your free margin, reduce your lot size before retrying.
Order Button Greyed Out / "Market Closed": Financial markets (forex, commodities, indices, crypto) follow specific trading sessions. Orders cannot be executed outside active market hours.
