The Desk is FxMind's full-screen chart and order screen. You can look at it without placing anything. This is step 3 of 6.
Open it
- Press Trading desk in the menu. On a phone, open the menu first (the button at the top left).
- Press
Ctrl K(⌘Kon a Mac) and type a pair, for exampleEURUSD. The list only holds what your account can trade. - Choose it. The chart opens.
The first time you open the desk, a short tour starts by itself and rings each part in turn. Skip it any time, and start it again with the ? in the top bar. More here.

Before you send an order
Sending orders needs a guarded link (the master password). A read-only link can look and cannot trade. That is by design. When you are ready, read Place your first trade from the desk. Three words first:
- Stop loss
- The price where the trade closes against you. Set it before you send, never after
- Take profit
- The price where it closes in your favour. Optional
- Lot
- The size of a trade. A standard lot is 100,000 units of the first currency

Step 4: set your limits and guards.
