Default Sizing Mode

Choose how volume is calculated by default Options:
  • Fixed Lots (default) — Always uses specific lot size (e.g., 0.1)
  • Risk % — Calculates lot size based on risk % and SL distance
When to use:
  • Fixed Lots: Consistent position sizes, simple scalping
  • Risk %: Professional risk management, varying SL distances

Default Lot Size

Starting volume when opening Order Panel
  • Default: 0.01 (micro lot)
  • Range: 0.01 to 100.0
Example: Set to 0.1 → Every new order starts with 0.1 lots.

Reset After Order

Clear inputs after each trade execution When enabled: ✅ SL/TP toggles turn off ✅ SL/TP values clear ✅ Volume resets to default ✅ TPSL Type resets to “PRICE” When to use: Clean slate for each trade, avoid accidental re-use of old SL/TP. When to disable: You trade same SL/TP repeatedly (e.g., always 20-pip SL).

Auto-Collapse Order Panel

Minimize Order Panel after execution When enabled: ✅ Order Panel collapses to “Docked” mode after trade ✅ Chart gets more space ✅ Click “Expand” to open full form again When to use: Keep chart big, reduce clutter after order.
