What is a Sell Trade?

A sell trade is a trade position on a market where the trader is expecting the price of that market to decline. When the position on that market declines the position increases in profit for that trader.

There are a few types of sell trades for CFD traders when using a broker like ICMarkets or similar. A sell market trade, this is a trade that places a sell position on a particular market at the current price. A sell limit trade is a trade position that will open at a specific price the trader sets on that position if price reaches that price, until then this trade remains a pending order. A sell stop is a type of sell trade which opens if price moves below the price that is set on this order ( such as a break of support structure trade or price breaking below a bearish price action setup ).
