This article will guide you on how to customize your charts and place a trade on your Blueberry X platform.
The Chart Widget on the Blueberry X (DX Trade) platform is a market analysis and trade execution tool with key functionalities arranged vertically and horizontally, including:
- Trading symbol info area Provides essential information about the traded symbol, including lot size-related information; margin rate; trading hours; SWAPs.
- Sell / Buy trade execution buttons Allow direct trade execution when "One-click trading“ is enabled.
In case "One-click trading “ is not enabled, clicking the Sell / Buy buttons will bring the user to a new order creation window.
- The new order form includes details like the traded symbol and order type, with options for Market, Limit, Stop, or OCO (One Cancels the Other). OCO orders link two orders, where executing one automatically cancels the other.
Enabling a protection order allows you to set the activation level based on price, pips, projected profit/loss in account currency, or a percentage of account balance.Example:
Current Price: $50
Primary Order: Buy Limit at $47
Secondary Order: Buy Stop at $53 If the price hits $47, the Buy Limit activates, cancelling the Buy Stop. Conversely, if the price hits $53, the Buy Stop activates, cancelling the Buy Limit.
Lots: Specify order size.
Margin Impact: Calculates required margin before execution.
Protection Orders: Add Stop Loss and Take Profit orders.
- Trading from Chart: Users can place trade orders directly from the chart by enabling Trading from chart" (Chart settings -> Trading -> Trading from chart = True). Hovering over or right-clicking the chart reveals a "+" button near the price scale to create Buy Stop/Sell Limit or Sell Stop/Buy Limit orders based on price levels.
Alternatively, right-clicking on the chart brings up a menu with four buttons: two for Market Buy/Sell orders and two for Stop/Limit pending orders
Placed orders are displayed on the chart, allowing users to adjust the price in real-time by dragging it up or down.
a.) Users can also assign Take Profit and Stop Loss levels by double-clicking on the order from the chart.
b.) “Add Take Profit/Stop Loss” buttons will appear, enabling the placement of the respective protection levels via drag and drop on the chart.
c.) You can modify these levels again by dragging and dropping them to the needed position on the chart.
d.) Orders can be closed directly from the chart interface by clicking the “x” order button.
