🪟Draggable Trade Panels

Draggable Trade Panels (Per-Trade Windows)

• Purpose: Provide a per-trade, resizable/draggable window that shows trade details and exposes per-trade quick actions (close, partial-close, move to breakeven, add trailing, edit SL/TP).

• Creation & Lifecycle:

  • Automatic Creation: Panels are created automatically when you open a trade

  • Tracking: Each panel is linked to a specific trade ticket number

  • Cleanup: Panels automatically disappear when trades close

• Panel Content:

  • Trade Metadata:

    • Ticket number (unique identifier)

    • Symbol (pair being traded)

    • Direction (BUY/SELL or pending type)

    • Open price, current price

    • SL/TP levels (if set)

    • Current profit/loss (pips and currency)

    • Trade age (time since entry)

  • Quick Action Buttons:

    • Close — immediately close the entire position

    • Half-Close / Partial Close — close a percentage of your position (default 50%)

    • Move to BE — moves your stop loss to breakeven

    • Add Trailing / Set Trail — activates trailing stop for this trade

    • Edit SL/TP — modify your stop loss and take profit levels

    • Cancel Pending — cancels pending orders before they execute

  • Chart Visualization:

    • Trade entry marker (arrow or icon)

    • SL line (red horizontal line)

    • TP line (green horizontal line)

    • Entry price line (dashed reference)

    • Performance badge (profit/loss indicator)

    • Optional: swing high/low markers if trade was signal-based

• Interactions:

  • Drag: Click-and-drag the panel header to reposition; positions persist in GUI state.

  • Double-click: zooms or toggles advanced detail view (depends on panel config).

  • Buttons: execute immediate actions via the EA's trade manager (close / modify orders).

• Special Modes:

  • Manage Mode Only: Some panel actions are only available in MANAGE mode to prevent accidental changes during automated trading

  • Magic = 0 Mode: Panels can manage manual trades you created outside of BananaEA

• Best Practices:

  • Layout Management:

    • Use RearrangeAllWindows button (dashboard) to organize panels:

      • Stacked: vertical stack on right side of chart

      • Cascaded: offset diagonal layout for easy access

    • Adjust panel positions manually and they persist via GUIPositionManager

  • Chart Cleanup:

    • Use dashboard's ClearChartObjects button to remove stale visual markers

    • Recommended before live sessions or when switching symbols

    • Does not affect active trade panels, only removes orphaned objects

    • Adjust panel positions manually and they'll stay where you put them

    • Minimize panels when not actively managing (reduces screen space)

    • Close panels for completed trades (auto-cleanup handles this)

    • Limit MaxOpenTrades parameter to avoid excessive panel count
