    What is order management in trading?

    In trading, order management refers to everything a trader does with regard to orders. This can entail everything from executing market orders to placing pending orders, stop losses and take profit orders.

    Another aspect of order management is actively managing trades. Once you have entered the market there can be several outcomes. For example, the price could go in favour of the trade and so it may be necessary to adjust the stop loss in the same direction as well, to lock in profit.

    Order management is a critical part of money management, which is deemed as a very important skill in trading. Read more about money management:
