For example you will buy GBP/USD pair and the running price at the market shows 1.8900/1.8904. It means, your broker want to buy GBP/USD from you at price 1.8900 and sell to you at 1.8904

If your order has not been reached yet, then the order still active and waiting till it been reached. There are two kind of pending order: pending order stop and pending order limit.

Current Bid Price is 1.0000 and you only want to sell (SHORT) if the price move to 0.0950, then you could use Stop Order Sell
