===Manual Trading Options= ==# Check '''Show order confirmation dialog when placing/cancelling orders using keyboard shortcut''' to prompt for a confirmation when an order is placed/cancelled using keyboard shortcuts; clear the box to avoid confirmation# Check '''Require Order Confirmation''' to prompt for a confirmation when an order is placed manually on charts, in DOM and Forex Borad. Doesn’t apply to orders placed from Trade Bar.# Check '''Require Confirmation for Flatten Everything command''' to prompt for a confirmation when Flatten Everything command is used in the [[Order and Position Tracker]].# Select the source of the average entry price for manual exit strategies in '''Exit Strategies Average Open Position Price''':#* received from broker;#* calculated based on order(s) execution price. # Select the '''Exit Strategies Mode''':#* '''First to Position, Then then to Orders ====This ''' - this is a combination of the 2 modes described below. The first exit strategy order works according to “[[Preferences#All to Positions|All to Positions]]” mode logic, all other exit orders work according to “[[Preferences#All to Orders|All to Orders]]” mode logic. #* '''All to Position''' - whenever an exit strategy is used (whether it is an auto-attached exit strategy or it was manually dragged and dropped it onto an open position on the chart), the number of contracts of the exit strategy always depends on number of contracts of current open position and the exit strategy can be cancelled or vice versa, not placed at all, if an open position is closed or there is possibility of overfill (it can be cancelled manually).

==== All to Positions ====Whenever an exit strategy is used (whether it is an auto-attached exit strategy or it was manually dragged and dropped it onto an open position on the chart), the number of contracts of the exit strategy always depends on number of contracts of current open position and the exit strategy can be cancelled or vice versa, not placed at all, if an open position is closed or there is possibility of overfill (it can be cancelled manually). <div style="background-color: #E5F6FF;">'''Example''':

# Similar to the described case: if you enter with an order + auto attached stop loss and then you place another order in opposite direction with attached profit target, the position will be closed and both stop loss order and profit target orders will be cancelled, because they are bound to open position in this mode.</div>

==== #* '''All to Orders ====Whenever ''' - whenever an exit strategy is used (whether it is an auto-attached exit strategy or it was manually dragged and dropped it onto an open position on the chart), the number of contracts of the exit strategy is always fixed and the exit strategy is not cancelled under any conditions, it can be only filled (it can be cancelled manually).
