Manage orders and positions visually, directly on the chart — no need to switch back to Order Entry for every adjustment. You can:
  • Drag price levels to adjust your entry.
  • Set Take Profit and Stop Loss levels.
  • Hold Shift while dragging to move the entire TP/SL group together, keeping the distance between levels intact.
  • Edit the quantity and the Risk/Reward ratio without opening Order Entry.
  • Switch a new order between Limit and Market price.
  • See your executed trades plotted on the chart.
These actions stay in sync with Order Entry and your connected exchange.

Which account the chart trades

The chart trades one account at a time, and it shows which one: the trading account sits next to the instrument in the chart’s trading controls — the Buy and Sell buttons in the top-left corner of the chart — so you know where an order will go before the form opens. A new order appears on the chart as a box with an order pill attached to it: the small panel where you set the quantity and the order type, add TP/SL, open your order templates, and click Place Order.
  • The chart shows only the selected account. Orders and positions of your other accounts on the same instrument are not drawn, so every box on the chart belongs to the account you are looking at.
  • A new chart remembers your last choice. It opens with the account and the symbol you traded last.
  • Switch the account in that control, not in the order pill.
  • No exchange connected yet? On an instrument you could trade, a Connect Exchange button takes the place of the account.
When the chart shares a channel with Order Entry, the two pick the same account for the instrument.

Chart context menu

Right-click anywhere on the chart to open the context menu with quick trading actions at the exact price under your cursor:
  • Place an order at the clicked price — the menu offers the order types that make sense for where you clicked relative to the current price (above or below it): a Limit order, a Stop order (Conditional Market), or a Stop Limit order (Conditional Limit).
  • Copy price — copies the exact price at the click point to your clipboard.
Choosing an order action opens it as a preview in Order Entry, pre-filled with the clicked price. Nothing is sent until you review and confirm it, and the preview stays in sync with any levels you then drag on the chart.
If the instrument can’t be traded through any connectable exchange, the form opens with a message and a shortcut to pick a tradable asset instead — see The asset can’t be traded.

Order boxes

Every order and position you have on the instrument with the selected account is drawn on the chart as an order box at its price level.
  • Orders still waiting to be filled show their price on the scale in a dashed outline, so a resting order is easy to tell from a filled one. Pending means the order has been sent and is waiting for the exchange to accept it; Accepted means the exchange has it and it is waiting to fill.
  • Hover a box to highlight it together with everything attached to it. The links are drawn in the colour of the main order: an entry and its TP/SL, or a conditional order and its trigger.
  • TP/SL buttons appear while you hover the main order or the position itself.
  • Conditional orders show only their trigger, which sits exactly at the limit price and is labelled Trigger or Conditional Limit Trigger. Hover it to see the order behind it; click it to edit that order, which is also what reveals the × button.
  • After a trigger fires and its limit order is placed, the chart shows that order together with the triggers of its limit TP/SL.

Editing an order

Click a box to start editing it. The other boxes on the chart dim and stop responding to the cursor — the chart keeps one order in focus at a time, so click outside to leave the current one before editing another. While a box is in focus you can:
  • Drag it to another price.
  • Drag the whole TP/SL group with Shift held down.
  • Change the quantity or the Risk/Reward ratio in place — hovering either one shows a Modify hint.
  • Switch a new order between Limit and Market price. Existing orders can’t be switched — the exchange doesn’t allow it.

Confirming your changes

The chart can apply edits immediately or ask you to confirm them — a toggle in the chart’s trading settings decides which. With confirmation on, an edited box shows Discard and Confirm buttons, and the change reaches the exchange only after you confirm it. Esc and Enter do the same from the keyboard. Editing the quantity or the Risk/Reward ratio always asks for confirmation, whichever way the toggle is set — typed values are easy to fumble, so they don’t go straight to the exchange. Placing a brand-new order from the chart ends with a Place Order button rather than a second Buy/Sell click, so it’s clear that the click submits the order rather than starting another one.

Executed trades on the chart

Your filled trades are drawn on the chart as Buy and Sell markers at the price and time each one was executed, converted to the chart’s timezone. It is the same data as the Trade History tab of the Account widget — the chart just shows it where it happened. Trades are not merged into one marker per candle: three fills at three different prices inside a daily candle stay three markers. Hover one to see its side, execution time, price, quantity, and value. A setting in the chart’s trading settings shows or hides the markers, so you can keep the chart clean when you are analyzing rather than reviewing. A trade placed by a bot carries a bot mark on its label. The mark is a button: it opens the report for the bot that placed the trade. Deleting an order a bot placed warns you first, since the strategy is still expecting it.
