Control buttons description:
Depending on the situation on the market and your entry signals, you need to choose the trade direction – Buy (Purchases) or Sell (Sales). If one of the buttons is activated, the second is deactivated.
Then, of course, the order type should be determined– Market or Pending. A market order opens immediately at the Bid price (for sale) or Ask (for purchase). When a pending order is activated, a grey line on the chart appears to indicate a specific price for opening an order. Depending on the current price (above or below the line), the advisor will determine the type of order by itself – STOP or LIMIT.
Then comes the money management unit. If you activate the Lot button, then the order will be opened with the specified and fixed lot. Risk% automatically calculates the lot as a percentage of the Equity account (the function will not work if Stop Loss is not set in the settings). The correct risl calculation is the most important task for any trader. In accordance with numerous professional advice, the risk should be from 0.5 to 5% for one trade, depending on your trading system, timeframe and Stop Loss value.
The Take Profit and Stop Loss panel is optional, thus it is disabled by default. When the Take Profit button is activated, a green bold line will appear on the chart at a distance specified in the settings in the “old points”, i.e. the calculation is in 4 decimal places (2x for pairs with JPY). The line position relative to the price is determined according to the trade direction. When clicking on the Stop Loss button, a red Stop Loss line, which is also involved in calculating the Risk%, is displayed. All lines can be freely transferred within the chart, they have convenient information signatures in the right corner. If the line is not located correctly, the panel and the line text will display the “ERROR” inscription.
After all the settings are set, goals are defined, it remains to open the order by pressing the OPEN ORDER button.
An additional trading panel function is the ability to close already open market orders (Close all orders) with a single click, as well as delete pending orders (Delete all pendings).
