Automatic cancellation
Section titled “Automatic cancellation”- Limit order range (Settings → Trading). If the price moves away from a limit order beyond the threshold in percent or points, the order is cancelled. The distance is measured in both directions, the percentage is of the order price. Applies only to regular limit orders, stops and TP/SL are not touched.
- Cancel limit orders when the position closes. After the position closes, the remaining limit orders for the instrument are removed. Off by default.
- A moved order is cancelled and placed again: Market and limit orders.
Trading lock
Section titled “Trading lock”Protection against accidental key presses. Turned on and off with a single “Trading lock” key, not assigned by default. While the lock is on, a red icon glows in the top right corner of the order book and any trading action is rejected with “Trading is locked. Action not performed.” The cancel buttons in the Orders table are disabled.
Under the lock these do not work: orders by click and by key, cancelling and moving orders, TP/SL, closing positions, and the automation: local stops, auto TP/SL and auto-cancel by range. Conditional orders already on the exchange keep working.
The lock is one for the whole application and survives a restart.
