Position Panel with Hotkey "O" (letter O)
Practical panel to manage multiple orders on the same asset!
Press "O" → opens/closes the panel with all running positions
Click the desired order to select it
With an order selected, the keys work only on it:
P → Partial Close
T → Trailing Stop
K → Breakeven
X → Close the selected position
The C key still closes all positions, even when an order is selected.
To close only the selected one, use the X key.
Automatic Trailing Stop
Automatic Trailing Stop system with multiple configurable modes.
Each mode can be enabled and adjusted independently according to your trading style.
You can choose between:
• Trailing based on points (pips)
• Trailing based on profit in $ (money)
• Trailing based on previous candles (High/Low)
• Trailing based on Moving Average
Hotkeys Object Controls

"V" - Draw Vertical Line

To create multiple objects using the same hotkey, simply hold CTRL, click on the object, and drag it. This way, you duplicate the object.
When you press the same hotkey again for that object, only the object created by the hotkey will be removed, without affecting the others.
Timeframe Hotkeys
You can predefine 3 timeframes of your choice and activate them using the hotkeys 7, 8, and 9.

Fixed lot size or Percent of Account
Risk ratio based on monetary value and stop loss distance
Stop loss based on the previous bar’s high or low with optional offset
