Open and manage trades

Opening a trade

• Quick: press B to buy or S to sell at market, at the current price.
• With more control: use the long or short position tool, place it on the chart and adjust entry, stop loss and take profit by dragging its edges.
• In the order ticket, choose “Market” (enters right away) or “Limit” (enters when price reaches your entry).

Position size

Enter the size in lots or use “Risk %”: set what percentage of your balance (initial or current) to risk, and the size is calculated from your stop loss distance.

Automatic management (optional)

• Trailing stop: the stop follows price at the distance you set. With “activate at”, it only starts moving once the trade is a set amount in profit.
• Break-even: once the trade reaches the profit you set, the stop moves to your entry plus the offset you choose (0 = exactly at entry).

Closing and reviewing

• The trade closes automatically when it hits the stop loss or take profit, or you can close it manually from its ticket.
• Once closed, the Risk/Reward stays on the chart as a record of the trade. Right-click to remove it.
• To cancel a limit order that hasn't filled yet, use its ticket.
• “Save as template” stores a Risk/Reward setup so you can reuse it.
