Place one-click market order

On MetaTrader4 (MT4) / MetaTrader5 (MT5), you can easily place market orders (buy/sell) by clicking the "BUY" or "SELL" button on the trading panel. Orders placed from the trading panel are executed with a single click and it is sometimes called the one-click order. When placing one-click orders, you must first enable the one-click trading feature.
