In pending orders mode (Mode 2) the values of Stop Loss and Take Profit depends on the Stop Loss and Take Profit lines.

The Expert Advisor saves the last used values of order volume, Stop Loss and Take Profit levels (for each symbol) and loads them after the new start of the client terminal.

Panel movement

To move the panel you need to double click on the panel (grey) and move panel to any place on the chart. All the items (buttons, edits, labels) will be hidden (Fig. 4) and restored after the double click.

The position of panel is saved for each chart and restored after restart of the client terminal.

Other functions

The Stop Loss and Take Proft also can be specified in spreads. If you enter the "s" after the value, it means that Stop Loss/Take Profit is specified in spreads. If you type "s", you will see the spread.

The same behavior is for "m". In this case the SL/TP are specified in minimal stop levels. If you type "t", the program will show the time, passed from the beginning of the current H4 bar. The other commands "t2", "t3", "t4", "t6", "t8", "t12" corresponds to H2, H3, H4, H6, H8, H12 timeframes.  If you type "d", you will see the current date and day of the week.

Installation
