You can perform trading directly from the chart panel. It is possible to send orders, modify and close/cancel all positions/orders directly from the chart:

The built-in Order entry panel

In order to start visual trading, click the 'Chart trading' button, located on the top right corner of the Chart toolbar, and built-in Order entry panel will be opened:

The Order entry panel consists of the following items:

1. Quantity - the order quantity;

2. SL - for specifying Stop Loss parameters;

3. TP - for specifying Take Profit parameters.

Hot buttons for one-click trading are the following:

  • Sell Ask – to send a Sell Limit order at the Ask price;

  • Sell Bid – to send a Sell Limit order at the Bid price;

  • Sell Market – to send a sell market order;

  • Buy Market – to send a buy market order;

  • Buy Ask – to send a Buy Limit order at the Ask price;

  • Buy Bid – to send a Buy Limit order at the Bid price;

Chart trading

To start chart trading, follow these steps:

1. Оpen the built-in Order entry panel; Click on the 'Mouse trading' button to enable the chart trading;

2. Select type of an order to be placed: single or OCO.

You can enable chart trading by pressing and holding the Ctrl key as well.

If the cursor is higher than the current price, you can send:

  • Buy Stop order – by left-click;

  • Sell Limit order – by right-click.

To disable the chart trading, click the 'Mouse trading' button again, or just stop holding the Ctrl key.
