The Order Entry panel in Onyx gives you complete control over how trades are placed and managed. Whether you are submitting a quick market order or creating a full risk-managed trade, Onyx provides precise control with professional-grade tools.
Order Modes
Simple Orders
Use Simple mode to place a single order without automatic exits.
Best for:
Quick entries
Manual position management
Scalping and partial exits
Bracket Orders
Use Bracket mode to enter a trade with an attached profit target and stop loss.
Best for:
Structured risk management
Defined reward-to-risk setups
Automated exits
Once the entry order executes:
A profit target is placed
A stop loss is placed
When one is filled, the other is canceled automatically (OCO)
One-Click Trading
Enable 1-Click to execute orders instantly without confirmation.
This feature is designed for speed but should be used carefully.
