Trading 101 in Volumetrica

How to place market, limit, and stop orders, configure OCO brackets, and flatten positions in Volumetrica.

Executing trades on the Hyperticks Volumetrica platform is simple, fast, and designed to give you flexibility in how you manage positions. The platform supports OCO (One Cancels Other) orders, allowing one order to be canceled automatically when the other is executed — helping you control risk more effectively.


Order Types

  • Market Order → Instantly buys or sells at the current market price.

  • Limit Order → Executes at a price you set or better.

  • Stop Order → Activates once the market reaches a trigger price you define.


How to Place a Trade

1. Enable Trading

  • First, ensure that trading is enabled by toggling the trading switch in the top-right corner.

  • Confirm the correct account is selected before executing trades.

2. Configure the Trade

  • Step 1: Select the quantity of contracts you want to trade.

  • Step 2: Pick the correct account number.

  • Step 3: Choose the order type (Market, Limit, or Stop).

  • Step 4: Before confirming the trade with Buy or Sell, you can set up Single OCO or Multi OCO brackets for your orders.

👉 You can also drag and adjust your Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) directly on the chart.


Placing Limit & Stop Orders

  • Click on the LMT Buy/Sell button.

  • Move your cursor to the price level on the chart where you want to place the order.

  • A bracket will appear at that level → left-click to confirm.

  • If you change your mind, right-click to cancel.


Configuring OCO Orders

Single OCO:

  • It's enabled by default in single mode.

  • Enter your Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) values in ticks.

  • Once placed, the system shows your SL/TP brackets along with projected risk/reward.

Multi OCO:

  • From the dropdown, select Multi to use multiple OCO brackets.

  • Click the gear icon to open advanced settings.

  • In the settings window:

    • Click Add New Strategy.

    • Set quantity and stop tick value, making sure the stop toggle is active.

    • Click Add Bracket to confirm.

  • For targets:

    • Toggle Target ON.

    • Adjust contract quantities per target.

    • Define bracket trims with your chosen TP levels.

  • Save the setup by giving it a name (e.g., "MULTI").

Your customized OCO strategy will now be stored for reuse in future sessions.


Flattening Trades

Need to close everything quickly?

  • Use the FLAT button to instantly exit all open positions.

  • This ensures you're flat in the market if you mis-click or need to reset fast.
