Where is my order history?

 

I just installed MT4 for the first time and playing with it using demo account.

A few questions.

1. I placed GBPUSD order having volume 0.01 by clicking on "Buy by Market" button. Now how do I see at what price did I buy this? Like some sort of order history.

2. I didn't enter any value for "Stop loss" and "Take Profit". What difference does these two make?

3. When I click on "Buy by Market", does it buy immediately or it takes time to place an actual order?

Screenshot attached.

You have the "Exposure" tab open in your image

Click on the "Trade" tab to see open trades and "Account History" for closed trades 

 

when buy by market, order is executed at the last available market price

it will execute immediately if ther are no requotes
