# 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

2. 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

3. 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

4. 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

5. 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
