# Order Ticket Quick Start

Use this page after [Install and connect](/tm-pro/docs/install.md).

Two-step commit

TM Pro uses an **armed** flow: queue the side and size first, then confirm. Until you confirm, the order is not sent.

Concept mock — Queue BUY → Confirm BUY → Queued. Match labels to your build.

## First order (demo recommended)[​](#first-order-demo-recommended "Direct link to First order (demo recommended)")

1. Confirm MetaTrader is connected in TM Pro **Runtime**.
2. Open the **Order Ticket** tab.
3. Choose symbol context that matches the chart you are watching (or the linked terminal symbol).
4. Set size / risk fields according to your plan.
5. Select **Queue BUY** or **Queue SELL** (wording may vary by build).
6. Review the preview — side, size, stops if shown.
7. Select **Confirm** only when the preview matches your intent.

## Exit templates[​](#exit-templates "Direct link to Exit templates")

Where your build exposes them, exit templates (for example break-even or trailing styles) move stops after entry. Enable one template at a time until you know its behaviour on your broker.

## Positions and pending orders[​](#positions-and-pending-orders "Direct link to Positions and pending orders")

Use the **Positions** and **Pending Orders** tabs to review open exposure and cancel or modify working orders. Always reconcile against MetaTrader’s Terminal / Trade tab if anything looks unexpected.
