Orders, stop loss & take profit ​

Use Trading Profiles → Configure → Orders, SL & TP to define how a recognized signal becomes orders. Preview a representative signal after changing these rules, then save and apply the intended version.

Choose an order layout ​

Order count mode offers two layouts:

LayoutBehavior
Create orders from signal TP levelsUses available effective targets to create separately tracked orders.
Use a fixed number of ordersUses Orders per signal within the profile's supported target count.

Profiles can expose three or five TP slots. Use the fields actually shown by your saved profile; five-target values must be configured explicitly where required.

For a single-order layout, Take-profit target for single-order mode selects the target. If that target is missing, the EA looks for an available lower target. Add an order at the second entry adds the signal's second entry only for a single-order layout; it does not duplicate every TP order.

Check the total planned orders in preview, especially when combining multiple TP orders, second entries, and account count limits.

Choose where SL and TP come from ​

SL & TP sourceResult
Use SL & TP from the signalKeeps signal prices or pip distances in their stated units.
Use fixed SL & TP distancesReplaces both with configured pip distances.
Use fixed SL · signal TPReplaces SL and keeps signal TP.
Use signal SL · fixed TPKeeps signal SL and replaces TP.

Fixed stop-loss distance must be positive when selected. Enter Fixed take-profit distances for the target slots you intend to use. Fixed distances are pips, not broker points.

Require a stop loss before opening and Require a take profit before opening check the effective levels after these rules are applied. A missing source SL can therefore be supplied by fixed-SL rules. Auto Lot by SL requires a valid effective SL for risk calculation.

Handle price movement ​

Enable Check price difference from signal entry, set Maximum price difference in pips, and select a Price-move action:

  • Skip the signal rejects an entry outside the allowed difference.
  • Place a pending order uses a pending entry when the market has moved beyond the allowed difference.
  • Accept only a better price accepts favorable movement rather than treating all movement equally.

These checks use current broker quotes. They do not guarantee a final fill price.

Set pending order expiry ​

Pending order expiry is measured in minutes from placement. A value of 0 keeps the pending order good till cancelled. It also applies to pending orders created by price-movement handling. If the broker does not support the requested expiration mode, the planned batch is rejected rather than silently discarding the expiry.

Troubleshoot an order that did not open ​

Check the parsed entry, effective SL/TP, selected order layout, account's confirmed profile version, trading filters, broker symbol, size, and available margin. An invalid stop distance or unsupported pending expiry is an account/broker check, not evidence that the Telegram message was unreadable.
