Panel for Trailing stop
The “Trailing Stop” panel is designed to set the trailing stop function for orders.
Trailing stop is a function that automatically moves the stop loss following the market price. The stop loss moves in the direction of profit and stops if the price reverses.
- Enable trailing stop function.
- Trailing stop type.
- Trailing stop settings.
- “Start” trailing stop settings.
- Apply these settings to orders and positions that are open on the current symbol.
- Load trailing stop template.
- Save trailing stop settings to template.
Trade Panel saves and applies trailing stop settings for each order and position separately, which allows you to:
- Set different types of trailing stop for orders at the same time.
- Enable trailing stop for only some orders.
- Edit the trailing stop of an individual order without affecting the trailing stop settings of other orders.
Trailing stop can be set up in three ways:
How to set a trailing stop for a new order or position
- Before opening an order or position, go to the Trailing Stop panel.
- Select the Trailing Stop type 2, configure it 3, if necessary, enable the “Start Trailing Stop” parameter 4 and enable Trailing Stop 1.
- After setting up the Trailing Stop, open an order or position. The opened position or order will have these Trailing Stop settings.
The Trailing Stop settings on this panel apply only to new orders and positions. To apply changes to the Trailing Stop settings on this panel to already open orders and positions, click button 5 (see below).
How to set/edit trailing stop of existing orders and positions opened on the current symbol
- Go to the Trailing Stop panel.
- Select the Trailing Stop type 2, configure it 3, if necessary, enable the “Start Trailing Stop” parameter 4. and enable Trailing Stop 1.
- After setting up the trailing stop, click the “Apply to open orders..” button 5. After clicking button 5, these Trailing Stop settings will be applied to all orders and positions that are open on the current symbol.

Trailing stop types
The panel supports 5 types of trailing stops.
Trailing Stop Standard
Classic trailing stop. Stop loss follows the market price with a given distance.
- Distance from the current price to the stop loss, with this distance the stop loss will follow the price.
- The minimum step of the trailing stop.
Trailing Stop Fractal
Stop loss moves along the tops of the fractals, the size of the fractal is set in the settings.
A fractal is a pattern consisting of three or more candles (bars), where the central candle is the maximum or minimum in this pattern.
- Chart timeframe for fractal search.
- The number of bars in the fractal.
- Stop loss offset from the fractal.
- The minimum step of the trailing stop.
- Symbol spread size. *
Trailing Stop MA
Stop Loss moves along the line of the Moving Average indicator.
- Timeframe of the Moving Average indicator.
- Period of the Moving Average indicator.
- Averaging method of the Moving Average indicator.
- The used price of the Moving Average indicator.
- Bar number for calculating a trailing stop based on Moving Average (bars are numbered starting from zero and directed from right to left).
- Stop loss offset from the indicator line.
- The minimum step of the trailing stop.
- Symbol spread size. *
Trailing Stop ATR
An analogue of the Standard trailing stop, but in this type the readings of the Average True Range (ATR) indicator are used as the distance.
- Timeframe of the ATR indicator.
- ATR indicator period.
- Coefficient. If you set the value to 2, the trailing stop distance will be equal to twice the ATR size.
- Bar number for calculating a trailing stop based on Moving Average (bars are numbered starting from zero and directed from right to left).
- The minimum step of the trailing stop.
- Measure the distance to the stop loss from the last candle:
- If enabled, the distance will be measured for Buy – from the Low price, for Sell – from the High price.
- If disabled, the distance will be measured for Buy – from the Bid price, for Sell – from the Ask price.
Trailing Stop Parabolic Sar
The stop loss is moved by the Parabolic SAR indicator.
- Timeframe of the Parabolic SAR indicator.
- Step of price change of the Parabolic SAR indicator.
- The maximum step of the Parabolic SAR indicator.
- Bar number for calculating the trailing stop based on Parabolic SAR (bars are numbered starting from zero and directed from right to left).
- Stop loss offset from the indicator line.
- The minimum step of the trailing stop.
- Symbol spread size. *
Trailing Stop Candle Wicks
The stop loss is moved along the lows of the candles for buy orders and the highs of the candles for sell orders.
- Chart timeframe for searching for candles (bars).
- The number of candles from which the utility will choose the minimum or maximum value for setting a stop loss.
- Stop loss offset from the candle.
- The minimum step of the trailing stop.
- Symbol spread size. *
Trailing Stop Trend Scanner
Stop loss moves along the Trend Scanner indicator line. **
- Timeframe of the Trend Scanner indicator.
- The period of the Trend Scanner indicator.
- Trend Scanner indicator coefficient.
- Bar number for calculating a trailing stop using the Trend Scanner indicator (bars are numbered starting from zero and directed from right to left).
- Stop loss offset from the indicator line.
- The minimum step of the trailing stop.
- Symbol spread size. *
- Move stop loss only towards profit:
- If enabled, the stop loss will only move in the direction of decreasing the loss.
- If disabled, the stop loss will follow the Trend Scanner line, both in the direction of decreasing and in the direction of increasing the loss. In the off state, this parameter is applied only when Bar shift = 0, while it should be borne in mind that the number of position modifications will increase.
“Step” parameter
Stop loss repositioning step by trailing stop – the minimum distance from the current stop loss price to the next stop loss price (in points).
“Shift in bars” parameter
Number of the bar whose data will be used to calculate the stop loss level (numbering of bars starts from zero and is directed from right to left, that is, backwards relative to the current bar).
“Indent” parameter
Stop loss offset from the calculated price of the trailing stop (in points).
“Start in points” parameter
Distance from the order opening price to the Start level of the function. The trailing stop will start working when the current price reaches the Start level of the function. If you enter a value with a minus sign in the field, then the start level will be postponed towards the loss (it only makes sense if the order is already open and the current price is in the loss zone, further than the start level).
Checkbox “Measure from stop loss”
Sets conditions for enabling Trailing Stop:
- Disabled – trailing stop will be activated when the current price reaches the start level.
- Enabled – the trailing stop will be activated when the settlement price of the trailing stop reaches the start level. That is, the stop loss will start moving from the start level.
* In the trailing stop by indicator calculation, a chart is used, which is plotted at the Bid price. Since Sell is closed at the Ask price, you can specify the spread size so that the function indents by the spread size from the calculated stop loss level for Sell orders.
If you do not understand what this parameter is for, then set it to 0.
** Attention! The trading panel does not display indicator lines. This indicator is a separate product and is not part of the TradePanel product.
Attention!
The “Trailing stop” function is performed by the panel. This feature will only work if your terminal and panel are turned on. If you turn off the terminal or panel, this function will also be disabled (will not work).
Panel for BreakEven
The “BreakEven” panel is designed to set the Break-Even function for orders. The number of break-even levels set for each order is not limited.
The BreakEven function works as follows: when the current price reaches the specified Distance, the function will move the SL to the order opening price + offset (Profit). The distance and offset are set from the order opening price, towards the position profit. The function processes each break-even level only once. If, when the function is activated, the current SL location is more profitable than the calculated one, the SL will not be moved, since the function only moves the SL towards profit.

Units of Distance and Profit (Indent)
Points |
Distance or Profit is set in points. Point is the smallest possible price change on a symbol. The panel does not normalize points in any way (does not multiply them by 10, etc.) and applies points as is:
|
% TP order * |
Distance or Profit is calculated in % of the current Take Profit size of the order. For example, if: If the order has Virtual Take Profit enabled, then the Distance or Profit in % will be calculated from the Virtual Take Profit, regardless of whether the order has a real take profit or not. |
% SL order * |
Distance or Profit is calculated in % of the current Stop Loss size of the order. For example, if: If the order has a Virtual Stop Loss enabled, then the Distance or Profit in % will be calculated from the Virtual Stop Loss, regardless of whether the order has a real stop loss or not. |
Price |
Distance or Profit is set by the price. With this calculation method, Distance (Profit) is not tied to the order opening price, so this calculation method is only advisable when setting up a breakeven for a specific order. |
The “%TP order” and “%SL order” methods are calculated from the current stop loss and take profit, respectively, if you or any function changes the stop loss or take profit of an open order, the calculated levels will also change. To avoid this, you can enable the “Convert Price, %TP and %SL to Points” mode in the settings.
How this mode works:
To set the breakeven function for a new order (or open orders), you use the “%TP order” or “%SL order” method.
As soon as you click the open order (or apply) button, the panel will transfer the breakeven settings to the open order (or orders) with changes:
- Converts values expressed in % to points.
- Will change the method “%TP orders” and “%SL orders” for the order(s) to the method “Points”.
Thus, the breakeven function of the order(s) will be independent of the position of the take profit and stop loss of the order.
Attention!
The “Breakeven” function is performed by the panel. This feature will only work if your terminal and panel are turned on. If you turn off the terminal or panel, this function will also be disabled (will not work).
Panel for Partial Close
The “Partial Close” panel is designed to set the Partial Close function for orders. The number of partial close levels set for each order is not limited.
The Partial Close function works as follows: when the current price reaches the specified Distance, the function will close the specified part of the position. The distance is set from the opening price of the position, towards profit or loss. If the position volume is equal to or less than the partial close volume, the function will close the entire position.
- Enable Partial Close in Profit Zone.
- List of Partial Close levels in Profit Zone.
- Enable Partial Close in Loss Zone.

- Create a new Partial Close level.
- Delete Partial Close level.
Trade Panel saves and applies Partial Close settings for each order and position separately, allowing you to:
- Set different Partial Close settings for orders at the same time.
- Enable Partial Close for only some orders.
- Edit Partial Close for an individual order without affecting the Partial Close settings for other orders.
The Partial Close function can be configured in three ways:
How to set a Partial close for a new order or position
- Before opening an order or position, go to the Partial Close function panel.
- Configure the required number of Partial Close levels 2, 4 and enable the Partial Close function 1, 3.
- After setting up the Partial Close function, open an order or position. The opened position or order will have these settings for the Partial Close function.
The Partial Close settings on this panel apply only to new orders and positions. To apply changes to the Partial Close settings on this panel to already open orders and positions, click button 5 (see below).
How to set/edit Partial close of existing orders and positions opened on the current symbol
- Go to the Partial Close function panel.
- Configure the required number of Partial Close levels 2, 4 and enable the Partial Close function 1, 3.
- After configuring the Partial Close function, click the “Apply to open orders..” button 5. After clicking the button 5, these Partial Close settings will be applied to all orders and positions that are open on the current symbol.
How to set/edit a Partial close for an order or position
- Button for going to order or position settings.
- Tab for setting up Partial Close of an order or position.
- Enable Partial Close of Profit.
- Partial Close of Profit levels.
- Enable Partial Close of Loss.
- Partial Close of Loss levels.
- Load Partial Close template.

- Labels for setting up Partial Close levels.
To edit or set the Partial Close feature:
- Go to the Order Management panel, to the Pc tab.
- Configure the required number of Partial Close levels 4, 6 and enable the function 3, 5.
- These partial close settings will be applied to the current order or position.
Units of measurement of the part of the order that will be closed
Each partial close level has a Volume parameter, which you use to specify the size of the order part to be closed. The following units of measurement of the volume of the closed part are available for the partial close function:
Lot |
Fixed volume |
% current lot |
The volume (lot) of the position to be closed will be calculated as a percentage of the current volume of the position. The volume to be closed is calculated immediately before partial closing. When using this method, it is necessary to take into account that partial closing reduces the volume of the position, and this will affect subsequent levels of partial closing, which will take % of the current volume of the position. |
% initial lot |
The closed part of the order will be calculated as a percentage of the initial volume of the order, that is, the lot that the order had at the time of its opening (at the time the function was enabled). |
Units of Distance
Points |
The distance is set in points. Point is the smallest possible price change on a symbol. The panel does not normalize points in any way (does not multiply them by 10, etc.) and applies points as is:
|
% TP order* |
The distance is calculated in % of the current Take Profit size of the order. For example, if: If the order has Virtual Take Profit enabled, then the Distance in % will be calculated from the Virtual Take Profit, regardless of whether the order has a real take profit or not. |
% SL order * |
The distance is calculated in % of the current Stop Loss size of the order. For example, if: If the order has a Virtual Stop Loss enabled, then the Distance in % will be calculated from the Virtual Stop Loss, regardless of whether the order has a real stop loss or not. |
Price |
The distance is set by the price. With this calculation method, the distance is not tied to the order opening price, so this calculation method is only advisable when setting up a partial closure of a specific order. |
Points+Trailing |
The distance is set in points. This option has a trailing function that allows you to move the Partial Close level after the current price. The panel will move the Partial Close level after the current price with an indent from the price that will be equal to the specified distance. The Partial Close level moves only in the direction of the price. For the BUY position, the level moves after the BID price, for the SELL positions after the ASK price. |
The “%TP order” and “%SL order” methods are calculated from the current stop loss and take profit, respectively, if you or any function changes the stop loss or take profit of an open order, the calculated levels will also change. To avoid this, you can enable the “Convert Price, %TP and %SL to Points” mode in the settings.
How this mode works:
To set the Partial Close function for a new order (or open orders), you use the “%TP order” or “%SL order” method.
As soon as you click the open order (or apply) button, the panel will transfer the Partial Close settings to the open order (or orders) with changes:
- Converts values expressed in % to points.
- Will change the method “%TP orders” and “%SL orders” for the order(s) to the method “Points”.
Thus, the Partial Close function of the order(s) will be independent of the position of the take profit and stop loss of the order.
Attention!
The “Partial Close” function is performed by the panel. This feature will only work if your terminal and panel are turned on. If you turn off the terminal or panel, this function will also be disabled (will not work).

Info Panel
The “Info” panel is designed to display current information on the symbol.
- The spread size on the current symbol.
- Time until the bar of the current timeframe closes.
- Profit on the current symbol.
- Number of Sell positions, their volume and difference with Buy. *
- Number of Buy positions, their volume and difference with Sell. *
- ATR indicator readings.
- ATR indicator power reserve. **
- Break-even price for orders on the current symbol.
- number of Buy positions 4;
- total volume of Buy positions 0.04;
- the volume of Buy positions is less than Sell by 0.05.
** For example 110(9%)/1139:
- distance traveled – 110 points (distance from the closing price of the penultimate bar to the current price);
- distance traveled in % of ATR – 9%;
- power reserve – 1139 points (power reserve = ATR in points – distance traveled = 1249-110).
