Trading through the chart

Hi dean_trades,

There is no such option. However you place and modify your orders, SLs and TPs directly on the main chart by dragging and dropping them.

Hi,

Yes but initially setting up the order on the chart must be done through that new window. So it would be great if the new chart was the exact same chart as the one currently being used. There's no reason for it to be blank. It should have all the trend lines etc. Doesn't that make more sense to you as well?
It's a shame you can just trade on the main chart instead of it opening a new window

This is not true. You can place your order directly on the chart without having to go through the Create Order window. Just right click on the exact point you need to place your order, right click and you will get the options below

Sorry, I should have clarified. I meant you cannot place a custom order on the chart. With the main chart you can right click and buy/sell 1 share. But if you want more than 1 share you will then have to take another step by opening the order and modifying it. This then opens the new window tab again with the blank chart.

It just doesn't make sense for the chart to be blank. It only makes things harder. Why can't it have all my trend lines? After all, I put all the work in placing them only to open a new order window with a chart that's blank. Seems odd.

Hi dean_trades,

You can set the volume in the QuickTrade dropdown. You can configure your orders as you want without the need to open the Create Order form.

Hi,

I'm not seeing where I can set the volume in QuickTrade. Look at the screenshot here (scroll to quicktrade): https://help.ctrader.com/ctrader-web/interface/settings

It does not have volume. Or is it somewhere else?

Thanks

Forget what I just said. I've just noticed if you change the volume on the buy/sell buttons on the chart it works.
