📱 General Mechanics and Interface

The new trading dialog is applied to vertical charts on smartphones. If multiple charts are open, the bottom sheet is applied to the active one.

  • Dialog States:

    • Collapsed: Displays basic elements (symbol selection, SL/TP buttons, transition button).

    • Expanded: Provides full access to parameters. The symbol description appears under the symbol selection button.

  • Gestures and Navigation:

    • Expand: Tap the transition button or swipe up.

    • Collapse: Swipe down.

    • Close: Tap on an empty area of the chart or swipe down again from the collapsed state.

  • Validation: Incorrectly filled fields are highlighted with a red border, and the font color changes from blue to red. The order confirmation button is unlocked only when all fields contain valid values.

⚙️ Order Parameter Configuration (Opening)

1. Volume

  • Synchronization: Values are synchronized with the quick trading panel.

  • Input Methods: Keyboard, pop-up menu (with vertical scrolling and delta buttons), or a non-linear slider (the further right the slider is moved, the larger the increment step).

  • Units of Measurement: Lots or Margin (the toggle is located to the right of the volume field).

  • Informativeness: The volume/margin value and available free margin are displayed below the slider. When moving the slider, the adjacent indicator (lots/margin) is shown as a tooltip. Tapping the "Margin" label triggers a warning that the calculation is approximate.

2. Price

  • In the expanded dialog, the SL/TP buttons in the header are replaced by the current Bid and Ask prices.

  • Input Methods: Keyboard, scroller menu, +/- buttons, or by visually dragging the graphical levels directly on the chart.

3. Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP)

  • The section is activated by the  "Add Stop Level" button.

  • Units of Measurement: Price, pips, or deposit currency. The approximate monetary equivalent is displayed below the fields when entering pips (tapping it shows a warning about the approximate calculation).

  • Level Linking: When typing in pips via the keyboard, you can lock the SL and TP ratio (for graphical input, this option may be temporarily unavailable depending on the app version).

4. Expiration and Comments

  • Expiration: Supports GTC (Good 'Til Canceled), "Today", specified days, or time-based modes. Selecting a specific date/time opens convenient system pickers.

  • Comment: A text field is provided for adding custom comments to the order.


📈 Chart Interaction within the Dialog

  • Main Chart: Activating order types or SL/TP buttons enables trading levels on the chart, which can be freely dragged with a finger.

  • Tick Chart: Appears if you scroll up within the expanded dialog. It also displays price levels and SL/TP. By dragging these levels, you can change the scale of the tick chart and fine-tune the prices set on the main (large) chart.



✏️ Modification, Deletion, and Closing of Orders

The dialog for managing an existing position/order also opens in a collapsed state.

  • Quick Actions (from the collapsed state): Buttons are available for immediate modification, regular closing, "close by" (closing with an opposite position), deletion, and quick SL/TP setup.

  • Expanded Mode:

    • You can change the SL, TP, and expiration time.

    • Partial position closing is available (the volume to be closed is easily adjusted with a slider).

    • When closing with an opposite position, a convenient list of available opposite orders opens.

  • Result Window:

    • For quick actions, the result appears as a  partially hidden window (within a couple of seconds, it can be pulled up fully with a swipe).

    • For actions taken from the expanded dialog, the result window opens fully right away.


🔄 Landscape Orientation and Tablet Features

  • For tablets and smartphones in horizontal (landscape) mode, the old toolbar format is used, which opens a classic order window for confirmation.

  • If you open this toolbar in horizontal mode and then rotate the phone (or a Fold-type device) vertically, the toolbar automatically adapts to the new portrait mode layout.
