Market tab

The Market tab is designed for one-click opening and closing of trades.



Volume (1). Order volume in lots.
Trades (2). Number of orders to be sent at the same time.
Comment (3). Order comment.

Stop loss. Stop loss settings. Click element (4) to switch between "No S/L" (order sent without a stop loss) and "Stop-loss" (order sent with a stop loss using the specified parameters). The stop loss value is entered in field (5) in points, pips, percentage of the price, or as a fixed price (dropdown menu 6).

Take profit. Take profit settings. Click element (9) to switch between "No T/P" (order sent without a take profit) and "Take profit" (order sent with a take profit using the specified parameters). The take profit value is entered in field (10) in points, pips, percentage of the price, multiples of SL, or as a fixed price (dropdown menu 11).

Money risk, money target (7, 12) are set either in absolute monetary terms or as a percentage of the account balance (element 8). Enter the value using the keyboard, or use the increment/decrement buttons. The step is defined by external inputs (Market Tab section): P&L money: step for absolute money, and P&L % of balance: step for percentage of the account balance. The application will calculate the appropriate volume, recalculate the exact risk and profit for that volume, and automatically fill in the corresponding fields.

Visualization of the order being placed. Make sure checkbox (13) is checked to display the order on the chart. Click the text field to the right of the checkbox to switch between "Buy levels" and "Sell levels". Drag the entry level with the mouse to move the order horizontally. Click (16) to hide the order preview from the chart. Drag the stop loss and take profit with the mouse to the required levels. Set the stop loss and take profit as a fixed price so the levels do not change when the market price changes. Set take profit as a risk-to-reward ratio (SL multiples) so that dragging the stop loss automatically recalculates and redraws the take profit level. Click elements (17, 18) to send an order without a stop loss or take profit. While dragging stop loss or take profit levels, the program recalculates and automatically updates the corresponding fields on the main form.

One-click trading buttons (14, 15, 16). "Buy" and "Sell" will open one or more trades with the settings specified above. "Close All" will close all market orders with the specified magic number.

"Profit" trigger: the deal will be partially closed once the profit reaches the trigger value, which can be set in points, pips, percentage, market price, or as parts of a hard SL or TP. "Loss" trigger: the deal will be partially closed once the loss reaches the trigger value, which can be set in points, pips, percentage of market price, or as parts of a hard SL or TP.

Virtual stop loss and take profit

The "Virtual" tab is used to show or hide stop loss and take profit from the broker. The triggering of hidden stops is checked on the user's terminal side, not on the broker's side. Once a virtual stop loss or take profit is triggered, the deal is closed at the market price. The application must be running continuously for this to work. Check the corresponding checkboxes and press "Apply". Virtual levels will be marked with "v". Make sure real SL/TP levels are set or deleted as needed.

For a full close, simply click the Full close button. Click the Reverse button to reverse a buy trade to a sell trade and vice versa. The application will close the current trade and open a new one with the same volume and the same stop-loss and take-profit distance.

Bulk Close tab

This tab is intended for bulk operations.
Setting common stop-loss and take-profit sets Press "Modify", enable the respective checkboxes, and set the values expressed in the account currency. Once the account equity exceeds the take profit value or falls below the stop loss value, the application will close all positions for the chart symbol and, depending on the "Equity SL/TP trigger: Action" input, will not open new ones. Equity triggers are checked only while the program is running.
Bulk closing trades, bulk deleting orders. Set the symbol filter (chart symbol or all symbols), set the magic filter (program magic or any trades). Hover the mouse over the buttons to see a tooltip. The "Profit" column shows the total PnL for the trades to be closed.

Spread, commission settings

The user can set the commission in points (Commission, points input), which will be taken into account during PnL calculations. The maximum allowed spread is set using the Enable spread control and Max allowed spread, points settings. If Enable spread control is on, opening and reversing trades is allowed only when the spread does not exceed the Max allowed spread, points value.
