Welcome to B2TRADER — a professional multi-asset trading terminal designed for both beginner and advanced traders. This guide covers the key features of the platform, market types, order placement, and tools available in your workspace.
What is B2TRADER?
B2TRADER is a powerful trading terminal that supports real-time trading across a wide range of asset classes. It provides access to multiple market types, advanced order controls, and a fully customizable trading interface.
Available CFD Instruments and Asset Classes
B2TRADER allows you to trade the following types of instruments:
- Forex (e.g.EUR/USD, USD/JPY, GBP/CHF)
- Crypto (e.g. BTC/USD, ETH/USDT)
- Energies (e.g. oil, gas)
- Metals (e.g. Gold, Silver)
- Commodities (e.g. agricultural or industrial products)

- NDFs (Non-Deliverable Forwards)
Use the All Markets widget or the topbar filters to explore and select available instruments.
Account Types for Individuals
Individual traders on B2TRADER have available the RAW account.
RAW accounts can operate in one of two position management modes for each trading account:
- RAW – Netted: Combines all positions in the same direction into a single net position.
Useful for institutional or strategy-based trading where position consolidation is preferred. - RAW – Hedged: Allows opening multiple buy and sell positions on the same instrument.
Recommended for individual traders, as it provides more flexibility for short-term strategies and manual trading.
On B2TRADER account creation, you can choose between Hedging and Netting under Account Select.
Workspaces and Widgets
B2TRADER is fully customizable. You can:
- Create and rename workspaces
- Add, resize, remove, or reorder widgets
- Load pre-built templates or start from scratch
Widgets help you monitor the market and manage trades efficiently. Common widgets include:
- Place Order
- Price Chart
- Order Book
- Open/Closed Positions
- Watch List

Orders, Trades, and Positions
| Term | Definition |
| Order | A request to open a trade |
| Trade | An executed transaction (part or full) |
| Position | Your current open exposure in the market |
⚠️ Important: A trade does not have to close on the same day.
Your position can stay open for several hours, overnight, or even days — depending on your strategy.
- If you open and close a trade within the same day → it’s called day trading.
- If you leave a position open overnight → it's considered a swing trade or longer-term position.
- In B2TRADER, positions stay open until you manually close them or they are closed automatically (e.g. by Stop Loss, Take Profit, or Stop Out trigger).
Order Types in B2TRADER
B2TRADER supports four main order types:
- Market – Executes immediately at the best available price
- Limit – Executes at a specified price or better
- Stop Market – Becomes a market order once the stop price is reached
- Stop Limit – Becomes a limit order once the stop price is reached
Stop Buy orders must have a stop price above the best ask.
Stop Sell orders must have a stop price below the best bid.
Advanced Order Settings
Enable the Advanced toggle in the Place Order widget to access:
- Stop Loss
- Take Profit
- Trailing Stop
- Leverage control
- Time in Force
- Margin estimate and fee preview
Time in Force Options
- GTC (Good 'Til Cancelled)
- GTD (Good 'Til Date)
- DAY (Expires at end of day)
- IOC (Immediate or Cancel)
- FOK (Fill or Kill)
Trailing Stop Logic
A Trailing Stop automatically follows the market price in your favor and locks in profit if the market reverses.
Example: Buy ETH at $2,000 with a trailing stop of 10%. If the price rises to $2,200, the stop follows to $2,090. If the price drops to $2,090, the position is closed automatically.
