Volume calculation method

The lot for a new order is calculated in one of six ways:

* The lot size is calculated in such a way that the loss from closing a position by stop loss will be equal to the specified risk value. The utility calculates the lot itself, the trader only needs to set the risk value.
Example:
Lot calculation method: SL in % of balance.
Risk per trade: 3%.
Current balance: $1,000.
With the specified parameters, the loss from a trade when closing it by stop loss will be: $1,000 * 3% = $30.

Volume calculation is configured here.

Virtual Stop Loss and Take Profit

Virtual stop loss and take profit are price levels tied to an order (position). When the current price touches these levels, the position will be closed. Virtual stops perform the same functions as regular stops, they allow you to fix a loss and profit.

What are virtual sl and tp for?
The only purpose of virtual stop loss and take profit is to hide them from the broker. The broker does not see virtual sl and tp and therefore will not be able to knock them out by manipulating the price.

Why does the broker not see virtual sl and tp?
Stop loss and take profit (let's call them real sl and tp) are stored on the broker's trading server and are executed by the trading server. Accordingly, the broker knows the location of the stop loss and take profit. Virtual sl and tp are stored in the panel and are executed by the panel. The panel itself monitors the current price, and if the price touches the virtual sl or tp, the panel itself will close the position.

Disadvantages of virtual sl and tp:

• Since virtual sl and tp are executed in the terminal, price slippage is possible when closing a position.
• Since virtual sl and tp are executed by the panel, they will not work if the terminal or panel is turned off.

Virtual stop loss and take profit are configured here.
