Adding Stop Loss & Take Profit Orders

To add Stop-Loss and Take-Profit orders, follow these steps:

  • Open the New Order modal by right-clicking the chart > New Order and selecting the desired Order Type, Quantity, and Side.

  • Check the options for Stop Loss and Take Profit to enable them.

  • You can then adjust these orders based on Ticks, Price, $, or Percentage. (These four values are interconnected; changing one will automatically update the other three.)

  • Once you click , your order will be created along with the associated Stop Loss and Take Profit orders.

  • You can see these Stop Loss & Take Profit orders in Orders tab.

  • You can also view these orders on the chart. Once triggered, they will be removed from both the chart and the Orders tab.

For a better understanding, please watch the attached video, which offers more detailed guidance.

Note:

  • Stop Loss and Take Profit orders must be added to the order upfront in the Order Modal.

  • It is not possible to add Stop Loss or Take Profit orders to the same order after it has been cancelled.

  • If you have multiple orders for the same instrument, the Stop Loss and Take Profit values will apply to the most recently executed order.

  • While creating a pending order and attaching SL/TP values, make sure to select the correct TIF (Time in Force) option — this determines how long the order stays active.

    🏷️ Time in Force (TIF) Options:

    • DAY – The order remains active until the end of the trading day. If not triggered, it will be automatically cancelled.

    • GTC (Good Till Cancelled) – The order stays active indefinitely until you manually cancel it.

    • GTD (Good Till Date) – The order stays active until a specific date/time you set. If not triggered by then, it is automatically cancelled.
