πExamples & Workflows
Examples & Recommended Workflows
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
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
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
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:
Switch TC to MANAGE (stops new signals)
Open the trade panel for the position you want to modify
Adjust SL/TP, add trailing, or close position via panel buttons
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
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
