I think it's not the loading of the charts that takes a long time.
For example if one changes symbol on a open chart it's a few times faster that opening another workspace.

I think the bottleneck is the case that every time one switches the workspace, the setting got to be downloaded from the server.

It would perform much better when the saved workspaces would be frontloaded (in chache or something) on opening of the cTrader application.So the setting are already there when one needs them to switch.

Also the autosave function should have a choice to disable. It takes time to save everything anytime before switching to another workspace.
And not always it's appreciated. bcause sometime you can lose a nice setting when you fiddle around and then switch to another workspace. the all changes (also the unwanted!!!) are saved.

The most ideal way of entering a trade IMO
New order dialog screen should have these additions:

When opened the new order dialog screen the select buttons SL and TP should have a memory.
For example when my last SL & TP where 30pips then when I open an new order they should be again enabled with the same values.

In the mean time should appear 3 lines on the chart. Price, SL and TP.

Then when i don't move the line on the the price the order stays market.
When I move line on the price above or below the price order should change to pending.
And if I click on market order myself then the line jumps back to actual price and order is market again.

When I move SL & TP lines these values should appear in the dialog.
And when auto pos sizing is enabled my lotsize then will adapt automatically.

The new order dialog screen should have priority settings for type of position size automation.
> in % of Balance
> in % of equity
> in money
And of course there should be a select button for automation or not with memory.
So for example if my last trade was 2% of my balance than this should be automatic enabled and size should be calculated based on my SL placing.

There should also appear a confirm trade button (with an easy keyboard shortcut) on the lower right of the chart.

So following scenario opens me a 2% equity market trade.
Assuming I have tradesize automation enabled.

I hit F9 >> move SL&TP lines >> and hit confirm button (or keyboard shortcut.)

This I think is what realy would be fantastic a feature of cTrader.

RE:

+1

Almost every forex education source i hammering on the importance of risk- and money management.

So missing this feature on such a sophisticated and intuitive trading platform is very strange to me.

As mgalona74 said:

And you guys almost got it. With your create new order window just add a risk percent auto calculation there and a moveable horizontal line that adds stop loss. Then lot size is automatically adjusted as the horizontal line is moved.

It cant be that difficult to add this functionality to cTrader.

where can I start a vote for this?
