πŸ“–Examples & Workflows

Examples & Recommended Workflows

  1. Quick Manual Entry (Manage Mode)

  • Setup: Set TC to MANAGE (click TC button until "MANAGE" displays)

  • Entry Selection:

    • Choose Entry Mode = LINES

    • Choose OrderType = PO (Pending Order)

  • Execution:

    • Draw a horizontal line at your entry price

    • Convert to pending order (dashboard button or right-click helper)

    • Open the trade panel for that pending order

    • Set SL/TP using panel inputs or draggable lines

    • Press Place to submit the order

  • Lot Size: Your LotMethod and RiskValue settings determine position size automatically

  1. Day-Trader Live Execution (Intraday Scalping)

  • Setup:

    • Set TC = MANAGE for manual control

    • Set Entry Mode = CANDLE for bar-based entries

    • Set OrderType = MO (Market Order) for instant execution

  1. Prop-Firm / Copy-Trade Management (Magic = 0 Mode)

  • Setup:

    • Set Magic = 0 in EA settings to enable Trade Management Mode for external/manual trades

    • This allows the EA to manage trades you place manually or copy from another source

  • Preservation Settings:

    • Enable PreserveExistingSLTP setting (if available) to keep your manually-set SL/TP levels

    • EA will manage break-even, trailing, and partial closes without changing your entry levels

  • Session Control:

    • Enable CancelPendingsAtSessionClose to avoid unwanted overnight pending orders

    • Consider disabling CloseTradesAtSessionClose if you want to hold positions overnight

  • Risk Limits:

    • Set daily drawdown limits to comply with prop firm rules

    • Enable UseStrictMarginRejection for more realistic margin behavior

  • Trailing Settings:

    • Set TrailingMethod to Trail_Fixed for straightforward trailing

    • Set Trail_DistanceValue to 10.0 (10 pips for intraday scalping)

    • Set Trail_ActivationValue to 15.0 (activates after 15 pips profit)

  • Session Control:

    • Enable UseSession1 for your active trading hours

    • Enable CloseTradesAtSessionClose to auto-close at session end

    • Enable CancelPendingsAtSessionClose to avoid overnight exposure

  1. Automated Signal + Manual Overrides (Hybrid Approach)

  • Normal Operation: TC = AUTO to let signal orchestration run automatically

  • Manual Intervention:

    • If you need to intervene on a specific trade:

      1. Switch TC to MANAGE (stops new signals)

      2. Open the trade panel for the position you want to modify

      3. Adjust SL/TP, add trailing, or close position via panel buttons

      4. Switch TC back to AUTO to resume signal detection

  • Use Case: Great for when you want automation but need to override specific trades based on news or price action

  1. Risk-Limited Session (Daily Drawdown Protection)

  • Setup:

    • Set DailyDrawdownLimit in EA settings

    • Once daily drawdown limit is hit, dashboard automatically enters PAUSED state

  • Behavior:

    • All trade execution blocked

    • Existing trades remain open (or can be auto-closed based on settings)

    • Dashboard displays "PAUSED - DD LIMIT" status

    • Manual reset required or waits for next trading day

  • Prop Firm Compliance: Essential for staying within daily loss limits
