Minimalist Manager

Minimalist Manager is a manual trade-management panel for traders who place their own entries and want precise, fast control over risk, stops, and targets directly on the chart.

It is a discretionary tool. You decide when to enter; Minimalist Manager handles the sizing, stop-loss, take-profit, and break-even mechanics around your decision.

Key features

Risk-based position sizing. Set your risk as a percentage of balance, a fixed cash amount, or a fixed lot size. The lot is calculated automatically from your stop distance so every trade risks what you intend. The risk field shows your account currency symbol.

Mouse-driven execution mode. Arm execution mode with a customisable key, then move your mouse to set the stop-loss distance and left-click to place the trade. The stop follows the cursor and is held at the exact distance you choose.

Minimum and maximum stop-loss band. Define the tightest and widest stop you will accept in pips. The stop is clamped to stay within that band at all times.

Single take-profit. Set your target by risk-to-reward ratio or by pips. The take-profit accounts for the live spread so your intended distance is applied accurately.

Draggable management lines. Once a trade is open, drag the stop-loss, take-profit, and break-even lines directly on the chart to modify the live order. Changes are sent to your broker instantly.

Automatic break-even. Enable a draggable break-even line. When price reaches it, the stop is moved to your entry plus an offset to protect the position.

On-chart information. A bottom-corner readout shows a live candle-close countdown and the current spread.

Master visibility toggle. One button hides every line for a clean chart and brings them all back instantly.

Hotkeys

Execution-mode key — single letter that arms execution mode. Execute trade (backup) — key to place a trade. Cancel all pending — key to remove pending orders. Close all positions — key to close open trades. Close 50 percent of each position — key to halve open trades. Switch order type — key to cycle order type.

Important

This is a manual utility and does not trade automatically. It does not perform actions in the Strategy Tester, which means the free trial available on every Market product cannot demonstrate its behaviour. The tool is designed for use on a live or demo chart with your own discretionary entries.
