Starting the Trade Panel
1. Install Trade Panel on the chart
In the Navigator window go to Exspert Advisors > Market, right-click on the Trade Panel application and select "Attach to Chart". You can also install an application on the chart by double-clicking on it, or by dragging the application onto the chart.
2. Allow auto-trading for Trade Panel
In the window that opens, go to the Common tab and turn on the "Allow live trading" checkbox for MT4, "Allow Algo Trading" for MT5.
3. Set an identification number for Trade Panel
Go to the Inputs tab, set the "Trade Panel ID" parameter to a unique number and click "OK".
If more than 1 panel is installed in the terminal, then their identifiers "Trade Panel ID" must be different from each other (the terminal should not have panels with the same "Trade Panel ID").
4. Set Magic Number for orders
After starting the application, go to its settings and set the "Magic Number" parameter to a unique number.
Magic Number is the identifier of orders. The panel signs its orders with this identifier and subsequently, using this identifier, identifies its orders among others.
When Magic Number = -1 (minus one), the panel will not sort orders into yours/others', but will manage all orders on the trading account, regardless of who opened them. The value Magic Number = -1 can be used provided that only one panel is running on your terminal. If more than 1 panel is installed in the terminal, then the Magic Number parameter of each panel must be different from each other and should not be equal to -1 (the terminal should not have panels with the same Magic Number).
