Last updated 5 months ago

The General settings menu is used to customize and change general properties of the Web application. To open it, click on thebutton at the top menu of the platform.

General

  • Enable sounds - check to allow sound notifications.

  • Display absolute qty. for Sell/Short – if checked, quantity for sell orders and short positions with positive values are shown;

  • Tooltips – check to display all tooltips in the application, uncheck to hide. The function is enabled by default.

Trading defaults

  • Account – specifies an account used by default, available for a multi-account user;

  • Symbol – specifies a symbol used by default. This is the instrument that will be shown first when you load the Chart panel or Order entry panel;

  • Set SL/TP values in offset (for new orders) – if checked, order prices are shown in offset, if unchecked – in absolute values;

  • Show offset in – allows to select one of the available modes for offset displaying:

    • Ticks - displays the offset in price ticks;

    • Ticks (fractional ticks for Forex) - fractional ticks for Forex instruments;

    • Points - displays the offset as an absolute value in points;

    • Percent - displays the offset as a percentage of the order price.

  • Use stop limit instead of stop – check to place stop limit orders instead of stop orders. When checked activates the 'Limit offset, ticks' field;

  • Limit offset, ticks – use to adjust the default quantity of ticks for offset of a limit price. Active only if 'Use stop limit instead stop' is checked;

  • Buy TP trigger price - allows selecting price type for Buy Take profit order trigger;

  • Sell TP trigger price - allows selecting price type for Sell Take profit order trigger;

  • Buy SL trigger price - allows selecting price type for Buy Stop loss order trigger;

  • Sell SL trigger price - allows selecting price type for Sell Stop loss order trigger;

  • Order type – allows specifying order type, available values: Market, Limit, Stop, Stop limit, Trailing stop, OCO;

  • Market/Limit(Stop limit)/Stop Validity – allows setting up validity for market/limit (stop limit)/stop orders respectively;

  • Types manager – allows setting defaults.

To specify additional settings for orders you need to open 'Types manager' and select a symbol type - Forex, Futures, Equities, etc. for which you want to set up default lots values. It is also possible to override default lots values for separate symbols by adding them to the symbol types tree using "+" button. In order to apply symbol type default lots settings, just delete symbol from the tree using context menu:

  • SL/TP default offset, ticks – specifies a default value of offset field for SL/TP;

  • User quantity coefficient – is a default increment applied to all quantity counters;

  • Price increment (arrow), ticks – determines the increment value (e.g. the Limit price field in the Order entry panel) when pressing the Up Arrow (^) key;

  • Default lots setup – allows enabling default lot sizes for orders of selected symbol types or specific symbols which will be available in OE section;

  • Buy TP trigger price – allows selecting price type for Buy Take profit order trigger;

  • Sell TP trigger price – allows selecting price type for Sell Take profit order trigger;

  • Buy SL trigger price – allows selecting price type for Buy Stop loss order trigger;

  • Sell SL trigger price – allows selecting price type for Sell Stop loss order trigger.

If 'Show offset in = Ticks (fractional ticks for Forex)', then options 'SL/TP default offset, ticks' in the Forex instrument type will be displayed in decimal view and in the corresponding format. For example, 10 ticks will be displayed as 1.0, and 50 ticks as 5.0, depending on which value is set in the option. If 'Show offset in' is NOT 'Ticks (fractional ticks for Forex)', values of the options 'SL/TP default offset, ticks' are displayed by default, e.g. 10 ticks, 50 ticks.

  • Confirm order placement - check if you want to confirm each order placement;

  • Confirm order cancellation - check if you want to confirm each order cancellation;

  • Confirm order/positions modification - check if you want to confirm each order/position modification;

  • Confirm position closing - check if you want to confirm each position closing;

  • Confirm alert remove - check if you want to confirm each alert removing;

  • Open deal tickets on workspace - check if you want to confirm every opening of deal tickets on a workspace;

  • Show deal tickets in application tray - determines whether alerts are displayed in the application tray. If false, deal tickets are not shown in the tray, but remain available in the Event log.

  • Warn if identical subsequent order is placed (sec) – if checked, you will get a warning message in case of placing an identical subsequent order during the specified time period;
