How Placing an Order on Pluang Web Differs From the Mobile App
For Indonesian stocks, Pluang's web trading platform gives you fewer order options than the Pluang app: web offers Market orders and Limit orders with good-till-end-of-day (Day) validity only. Session validity, GTC (Good Till Cancelled) and Stop Loss / Take Profit are available in the app only. For Crypto Futures, closing a position on web has no Review Order step: Place Order sends the close order straight away, while the app shows a review screen first. Both platforms use the same Pluang account and balances, Indonesian stock fees are identical on both, and an Indonesian stock order placed on one platform can be seen and cancelled from the other. Web's advantage is its layout: a larger, multi-panel screen keeps the chart, order book and order panel in view together.
Order options: app vs web
| Order option | Pluang app | Web trading |
|---|---|---|
| Indonesian stocks: Market order | Yes | Yes |
| Indonesian stocks: Limit order, Day validity | Yes | Yes |
| Indonesian stocks: Limit order, Session validity | Yes | No |
| Indonesian stocks: GTC Limit order | Yes | No |
| Indonesian stocks: Stop Loss / Take Profit | Yes | No |
| Crypto Futures: review step before closing a position | Yes, unless you switch it off | No, Place Order commits directly |
- Chart trading: on web you can place orders directly from the chart for Indonesian stocks, crypto and US stocks.
- Layout: the web platform's larger screen lets you keep the chart, the order book (for assets that have one, such as Indonesian stocks) and the order panel visible at the same time.
- Orders across platforms: an Indonesian stock order placed on web can be seen and cancelled in the app, and vice versa. Amending an open order follows exactly the same logic on both.
- App-only products: mutual funds, gold and Pockets are currently available through the Pluang app.

Related questions:
Q: Does the web platform support stop-loss orders?
It depends on the asset. For Indonesian stocks, no: Stop Loss / Take Profit is available in the Pluang app only, where it attaches to a Limit order with Day or Session validity when you place the order. For US stocks and for crypto coins that support Advanced Orders, stop and stop-limit orders are available. For Crypto Futures, Take Profit and Stop Loss are set on a position rather than placed as a separate order type.
Q: Can I use the same Pluang account to trade on both mobile and web?
Yes. Your Pluang account is shared across mobile and web, so positions and balances are the same whichever platform you use to place orders. For Indonesian stocks, the same RDN and the same verification apply, so there is no separate registration for web. An Indonesian stock order placed on one platform also shows up on the other, where you can cancel it.
Q: Why is there no review step when I close a Crypto Futures position on web?
Because on web, Place Order in the Close Position panel sends the close order straight away. Check the price and quantity before you press it. In the Pluang app, a Review Order screen shows the price, quantity, position size, fees and estimated P&L first, unless you have ticked "Don't show order confirmation again", which you can switch back on.
Q: Is the Pluang web platform free to use?
The Pluang web platform is available to all Pluang account holders at no additional charge. You pay the normal transaction fee on each trade. For Indonesian stocks, the fees are identical to the app, with no web surcharge, and live prices, charts and the order book carry no separate data fee. Check the Pluang app for the fees that apply to each asset class.
