🧭 How to Use – A Beginner’s Walkthrough

The QuickTrade panel is divided into several logical sections. Let’s explore them from top to bottom.

1. 📊 Account Metrics Dashboard (left side)

This always‑visible strip shows your current performance at a glance:

• TOTAL – unrealized profit/loss of all positions opened by QuickTrade on this symbol.
• OPEN RISK – sum of the dollar amount you would lose if every open position hit its stop loss.
• EQUITY / BALANCE – live account numbers.
• DAILY PNL – realized profit from today’s closed trades (resets at midnight).
• DRAWDOWN – percentage drop from today’s highest equity peak.
• WIN RATE – today’s winning trades vs total closed, shown as a percentage and count.
• CONSISTENCY – what percentage of today’s profit comes from your single largest winning trade. If it exceeds your target (default 20%), you see (F) – a warning. Otherwise (P) for “pass”. A low number means you are winning consistently, not relying on one lucky trade.
• TIMER – current server time.

🧠 Tip: Make it a habit to check your daily drawdown and consistency before entering a new trade.

2. ⚙️ Order Settings

This is where you plan every trade before execution.

Field	What it does
Entry Price	Price at which your pending order will be placed. For market orders, this field is ignored.
Stop Loss	Price where you will exit to limit losses.
Take Profit	Price where you will exit to take profit.
Lot Size	Volume of the trade. Best set automatically using the CALCULATE button (see Risk Management).
Risk %	Percentage of your account balance you risk on this trade.
Risk (USD)	Fixed dollar amount you risk. If > 0, it overrides Risk %.
SL Points	Distance from entry to stop loss in points (1 point = 0.1 pip on 5‑digit brokers). Fill this or the SL price.
TP Points	Same for take profit.
RR Ratio	Desired reward‑to‑risk (e.g., 2.0 means TP is twice the SL distance). Used by the AUTO TP button.

Three ways to set prices:

1. Type numbers directly into the edit fields.
2. Points + Auto calculation – enter SL/TP points and the price will be computed automatically.
3. Chart‑click mode – click any edit field (Entry, SL, or TP) to activate “waiting” mode, then click anywhere on the chart to set that price.

3. 🧮 Risk Management Buttons

• CALCULATE – reads your Entry, Stop Loss, and risk settings, then computes the exact lot size that keeps your risk constant. This is the most important button. Always use it!
• RESET – clears all trade settings back to default values.
• AUTO TP – uses your current SL distance and the RR ratio to automatically set a Take Profit level.

🧠 Why constant risk matters: If your stop distance is 20 pips today and 50 pips tomorrow, a fixed lot size would risk vastly different amounts. The CALCULATE function ensures you always risk the same percentage or dollar amount – the professional’s edge.

4. 🚀 Execution – Market & Pending Orders

• Market Buy / Market Sell – executes immediately at the current market price.
  SL and TP must be on the correct side of the price.
• Buy Limit / Sell Limit – places a pending order at a price better than current market.
• Buy Stop / Sell Stop – places a pending order at a price worse than current market (breakout strategy).

The panel will validate distances, respect broker minimum stop levels, and normalize the lot size to your broker’s volume step.

5. 🔧 Trade Management (Manual Controls)

• CLOSE ALL / CLOSE SELL / CLOSE BUY – closes all positions, only sells, or only buys belonging to this symbol and magic number.
• CLOSE LOSSES / CLOSE WINS – selectively close losing or winning trades.
• BREAK EVEN (manual) – moves the stop loss to the entry price (plus any offset from the input) only if the trade is in profit by at least the “Min Profit USD” input. This turns a trade into a “free trade”.
• TRAILING STOP (manual) – adjusts the stop loss to the current price minus (or plus) the trailing distance. Use this to lock in profits.
• PARTIAL CLOSE – closes exactly 50% of each position. Useful for scaling out manually.
• PENDING – deletes all pending orders that were created by this panel.

6. 🎛️ Other Tools – Automated Risk Functions

These toggles run continuously on every tick:

Toggle	What it does	Accompanying Field
Auto Break Even	Monitors all positions; when profit exceeds the value in the USD edit field, it moves the stop loss to entry + Points locked in profit when BE is triggered.	$50.00 (adjustable)
Auto Trailing Stop	Activates once profit reaches the USD value in the edit field. Then the stop loss trails price by Distance (points) for trailing stop.	$100.00 (activation threshold)
Auto Partial Close	Closes a configurable percentage of each position the first time its profit exceeds the activation USD. The same position is never partially closed twice.	50% (adjustable)

• The Auto Break Even and Auto Trailing Stop edit fields accept a dollar sign (e.g., $50.00 or 50). The panel will parse it.
• The Auto Partial Close field expects a percentage (e.g., 50 means 50%). You can type 50% or just 50.

Click the toggle buttons to turn each automation ON or OFF. They turn dark gold when active.

7. 🎨 Themes & Sound

At the bottom of the panel, three buttons switch the color theme:

• Gold – warm golden background (default)
• Dark – dark gray background
• Silver – light silver background

Sound alerts are enabled/disabled via the Enable/disable sound alerts input parameter. You’ll hear a confirmation sound on successful orders and an error sound on failures.

🔧 Advanced Features (How They Work)

Draggable Trade Levels

Three horizontal trend lines appear for Entry, Stop Loss, and Take Profit when you click each corresponding input field. You can drag them directly on the chart – the corresponding edit fields update instantly. This is perfect for visual traders who prefer adjusting levels with the mouse.

Account Switching Made Easy

QuickTrade now automatically detects when you switch accounts (e.g., demo ↔ live) or change the chart’s symbol. It saves the current account’s metrics, then loads or rebuilds the metrics for the new account + symbol combination. Just switch accounts via File → Login and wait a few seconds – the metrics will refresh. Enable Algo Trading at the top tab of your mt5 when switching account.

Consistency Score as a Discipline Tool

The CONSISTENCY metric shows what percentage of your daily P&L is made up by your single largest winning trade. If that number exceeds your target (default 20%), you see (F) – Fail. This warns you that your results are “lumpy” – one lucky trade is dominating. Aim for (P) – Pass.
Note: It’s normal to see (F) early in the day when you have only a few closed trades. The system becomes more meaningful as your trading day progresses.

Risk‑First Position Sizing

When you use the CALCULATE button, the lot size is computed as:
lot = riskAmount / (stopLossPoints * tickValue)

• riskAmount is either your fixed USD risk or your chosen percentage of the account balance.
• tickValue is the monetary value of one point for one standard lot (provided by your broker).

This ensures your risk per trade is constant regardless of volatility or stop distance – the hallmark of professional risk management.

Break Even with Offset

The new input Points locked in profit when BE is triggered allows you to lock in a small profit instead of just break even. For example, if you set offset = 100 points (10 pips), the stop loss will be moved to entry + 100 points when the conditions are met.

📈 Practical Tips for Daily Use

1. Start each day by glancing at the Metrics Dashboard. If you’re already down more than 2% (drawdown), consider trading smaller or stopping.
2. Pre‑trade routine:
   • Set your Entry, SL, and TP (using points or chart‑click).
   • Make sure your RR ratio is ≥ 1.5 (or your personal minimum).
   • Click CALCULATE – the lot size will adjust to your fixed risk.
3. Use Auto Break Even after price moves 10‑15 pips in your favor. This eliminates risk on the trade.
4. Use Auto Trailing Stop to let profits run. Set activation at, say, +20 USD and trailing distance at 100 points. It will only start trailing after that profit is reached.
5. Scale out with Auto Partial Close – lock in gains by closing 50% of the position when profit hits your activation level. Let the remainder run with a trailing stop.
6. Monitor consistency. If you hit an (F) rating, it’s a signal to ensure your next trades are not oversized. Consistent small winners beat one grand slam.

⚠️ Troubleshooting & Maintenance

Problem	Possible Solution
Panel doesn’t appear on chart	Make sure the account is authorized. If not, contact the developer. Also verify that automated trading is enabled in Tools → Options → Expert Advisors.
“Order failed – Invalid stops”	Your broker requires a minimum distance between price and stop loss. Increase your SL distance in points.
Metrics show zero after restart	QuickTrade saves metrics in Global Variables. If you reset the terminal’s global variables, data is lost. They will rebuild automatically after the next closed trade.
Auto Partial Close doesn’t fire	Check that the position’s profit exceeds the activation USD, and that the partial close percentage results in a volume ≥ the broker’s minimum lot size. Each position is partially closed only once.
Account switch causes a brief metrics freeze	That’s normal – the panel saves old metrics, loads new ones, and rebuilds if necessary. Wait a few seconds and the display will update.
Buttons overlap after chart resize	The panel repositions automatically on chart resize. If it doesn’t, detach and reattach the QuickTrade.
