5. Trading Scenarios (WORKING WITH THE PANEL)

5.1 Quick Start: First Trade in 2 Steps

This section is designed to help you start trading quickly after installing the panel.

Important: It is highly recommended to execute your first trades on a demo account.

1. Activation & Symbol Selection — Ensure Algo Trading is enabled in the terminal (green/red button). In the right panel, click the desired instrument (e.g., XAUUSD). The active symbol will be highlighted in blue.
2. Execution — Click the large Buy or Sell button. The panel will send the order to the server. Open the Trade tab in MT4/5 to confirm the position appears.

⚠️ Important: Before switching to a live account, perform at least 20 test trades on a demo account. Check how the panel handles requotes, margin changes, and connection drops.

5.2 Opening a Position (Market Order)

The panel sends market orders via the standard MT4/5 trading server. The process is optimized to minimize latency and execution errors.

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Select Instrument:
   - Choose the desired instrument in the right panel.
   - The panel automatically loads individual settings for this symbol (auto-lot, SL/TP, trailing).
2. Set Volume:
   - Manual: Use [-] 0.01 [+] buttons or enter a value in the lot field.
   - Automatic: Enable AL (Auto-Lot) mode. The panel calculates volume based on risk percentage relative to current SL or balance (configurable in settings).
3. Set Protection (Optional):
   If your strategy requires Stop Loss and Take Profit levels, activate the corresponding buttons on the panel (SL/TP) and specify the levels.
4. Execute Trade:
   Click BUY (blue button) or SELL (red button) to open the position.

MT4/5 Execution Nuances:

• Execution Type: SL/TP are attached after position opening.
• Margin: If Deposit load approaches 100% or a "Not enough money" message appears, open a smaller lot or close some positions.

5.3 Setting & Modifying SL / TP / Trailing Stop / Break-Even

Protective orders are the foundation of risk management. The panel allows you to manage them both before opening a trade and while holding a position.

A. Pre-Trade Setup:

1. Set base SL and TP values for each instrument. If needed, activate SL/TP buttons — these levels will auto-apply when switching symbols.
2. Manual adjustment: In the main panel window, modify SL and TP values before clicking Buy/Sell. Use +/- buttons for quick steps.
3. Constraint check: The panel automatically validates entered levels and adjusts them if they violate your broker's SYMBOL_TRADE_STOPS_LEVEL (minimum SL distance) and SYMBOL_TRADE_FREEZE_LEVEL (modification freeze zone).

B. Modifying Open Positions:

1. Via terminal: Drag SL/TP lines on the chart or modify them in the Trade window. The panel tracks changes and updates the interface automatically.
2. Via panel: When the function is active, use Modify SL * / TP * buttons to globally adjust levels across all open positions for the selected symbol.

C. Trailing Stop

The panel implements client-side trailing: it monitors price in real time and sends SL modification requests to the server.

Trailing control is managed via the following panel elements:
TS | Smart | [Distance, pts] | TS+

1. TS — Enables trailing stop.
2. Smart — "Smart" trailing: dynamically adjusts distance from price based on current volatility. If disabled, fixed distance from global settings is used (see Section 4.3.1, param 6 "Distance").
3. [Distance, pts] — Field for manual distance input (in points) from current price to activate trailing. Becomes inactive when TS+ is enabled.
4. TS+ — Automatic calculation of optimal trailing distance based on the panel's algorithm.

⚠️ Important: Smart and TS+ are supplementary distance calculation modes. They only work when the TS button is active.

D. Break-Even

This function automatically closes a position as soon as its current financial result reaches zero. Unlike standard tools, it does not move SL but executes a market close.

💡 How BE+ Works: The button is context-sensitive. Pressing BE+ on the Buy side monitors only BUY positions; pressing on the Sell side monitors only SELL positions. When active, a yellow indicator lights up in the profit zone.

Operation Algorithm:

1. The panel analyzes each position individually, independent of other open trades.
2. Real-time calculation of total position result accounts for:
   - Price difference (floating P/L)
   - Accumulated swaps (if applied)
   - Broker commissions
3. Once calculated profit reaches ≥ 0, the panel automatically sends a close order.
4. After execution, monitoring for that position stops. Other positions continue to be tracked independently.

⚠️ Important:

1. The function guarantees a "zero loss" exit, preventing loss fixation under normal market conditions.
2. All costs are accounted for: commissions and swaps. Closure occurs strictly without loss at the moment of order execution.
3. Slippage is possible: execution price may slightly differ from the calculated price (positive or negative), depending on broker liquidity and speed.
4. Behavior during symbol switch: when switching instruments, the function continues tracking and closing positions it was activated for, even if they belong to another symbol.
5. Requires active server connection (terminal running, advisor enabled).

6. Placing Pending Orders

LO (Limit Order Panel) is designed for pre-placing buy/sell orders at prices different from the current market rate. You can select order type (Buy/Sell Limit or Buy/Sell Stop), set parameters like lot size, and define Stop Loss and Take Profit levels if needed. Orders are placed by clicking on the chart.

Figure 6.1 — LO (Limit Orders)

6.1 Section Description (Fig. 6.1)

1. LO — Open pending order panel; click again to close.
2. Select Order Type:
   :Buy L — Buy Limit — buy below market price.
   :Sell L — Sell Limit — sell above market price.
   :Buy S — Buy Stop — buy above market price.
   :Sell S — Sell Stop — sell below market price.
3. Delete — Remove all pending orders of the selected type.

To open the limit order panel, click the "LO" button (see Figure 6.1 #1). Click again to close.

Key Features:

• Limit Orders: Buy Limit (buy below market) and Sell Limit (sell above market) for reversal trading.
• Stop Orders: Buy Stop (buy on upward breakout) and Sell Stop (sell on downward breakout) for trend trading.
• Delete: Removes all pending orders of the specified type.

Risk Management & Chart Placement

Risk Management (SL/TP): Set Stop Loss and Take Profit levels that will be attached to the order upon creation. Activate SL/TP buttons, specify levels, then select lot size.

Visual Placement: Orders are placed directly on the chart using the left mouse button. Select your desired price level and click to place the pending order.

7. Example Trading Strategy

A ready-to-use panel scenario: from trade entry to automatic break-even closure and profit trailing. Minimal manual intervention, maximum risk control.

7.1 Scalping Strategy

Low-timeframe trading scenario: rapid position entry, automatic break-even exit, or profit fixation via trailing. The panel ensures fast execution and background monitoring, allowing traders to focus on entry analysis.

Preliminary Settings:

1. Account type: ECN with minimal spread and commission.
2. Timeframe: M1.
3. Highly liquid currency pair, e.g., EURUSD, 5-digit quotes.
4. Panel configuration:
   1. Add EURUSD to the panel and switch to it.
   2. Lock the chart for convenience (FIX button at panel bottom).
   3. Activate H1 L — hourly period indicator.
   4. Activate Stop Loss (SL button on panel).
   5. Set Stop Loss to 60 points (or per your strategy).
   6. Activate TS+ — automatic trailing distance calculation.
   7. Activate SMART — smart trailing.
   8. Activate TS — trailing stop mode.
   9. Set lot size (bottom panel between BUY/SELL). Start with minimum — 0.01 (or per your strategy).

Market Entry

⚠️ Important: In scalping, wait for a strong impulsive market move in one direction.

Determine market direction. Use the built-in BlackForce Trend (BFT) indicator in the bottom-left panel corner.

Buy Signal:

BFT Indicator = 100% BUY — confirms strong upward momentum.

Wait for a downward pullback:
BFT reads 96.43% BUY, while M1 shows a brief SELL signal (red) indicating a local correction.

Once the pullback ends and upward momentum resumes, enter the market — click BUY on the trading panel.

Entry Logic

Entry occurs after the corrective dip ends and upward momentum is confirmed.

If market direction is correct and position opened properly, Trailing Stop activates at the auto-calculated profit level, closing the position in profit at the SL level. SMART dynamically adjusts distance based on volatility, maximizing profit extraction from the move.

Sell Signal:

Similarly: BFT = 100% SELL — strong downward momentum. Wait for an upward pullback (BFT may temporarily show 96.43% SELL)

After correction ends and downtrend resumes, click SELL on the panel

⚠️ Important: Always test your strategy on a demo account before switching to live trading.
