A pending order is an instruction to open or close a trade if the price reaches the level that you have specified earlier. A pending order becomes an open order once it is triggered. This is particularly useful when you don’t have time to constantly monitor the market for the price updates. Just set a price you wish to trade at and the system will do the rest.

Capital.com offers two types of pending orders: limit market order and stop market order.
