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](https://takeprofit.com/docs/guide/trading/order-form.md#linking-the-form-to-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. > [!NOTE] > > 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](https://takeprofit.com/docs/guide/trading/order-form.md#the-asset-cant-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](https://takeprofit.com/docs/guide/trading/account-tracking.md) — 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](https://takeprofit.com/docs/guide/trading/algo-trading.md) 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.
