[Desktop] Change SL/TP on chart

Please add two fields for SL and TP right below lot size on chart trading. 
 

A master piece would be also having a strategy selection dropdown menu

You can add the SL/TP columns in the “Trade watch” window under the chart if you're viewing that;

when you place an order, the SL and TP lines are on the chart, or can be dragged from the order's entry point to show on the chart.

So no idea what are you talking about???

You can configure this in your Quick Trade settings

Hi firemyst, 

 

Thank you for your time to try to help. I know there is the trade watch window but placing orders over the trade watch is not part of my trading system and I was looking to something quicker (chart trading) than the tradewatch. Since I mostly do chart trading it is time consuming going under configuration to set your SL/TP and depending on the market I'm trading the SL from one symbol may be very narrow for another symbol and dragging and dropping the SL/TP as you mentioned may be to late for me.

 

Please see my next comment to elucidate what I was mentioning.

Thanks

Hi PanagiotisCharalampous, thank you for your reply as always.

 

What I was mentioning was to have the 1st screenshot you send over the chart so it would help scalpers and day traders. If I'm trading gold and GBPJPY my SL/TP will be very different for each instrument and having it over the chart would be a charm for productivity.

 

Please see a rough sketch about having it over the charts.

In regards to the strategy, the error popped when I clicked on what you mentioned.

 

Thank you
