This short guide will help you manage and keep track of your trades in TradeLocker.

Your account balance

Under the chart, you can see the following info:

  • Balance
  • Profit & Loss
  • Equity
  • Margin Used
  • Margin Available
  • Margin level

Positions panel

At the bottom section of your interface, right under the balance and PnL, you can see your trades:

    • Positions: Shows data about your open trades and allows you to edit and close your positions.
    • Pending: Shows data about your pending orders.
    • Trades: Shows all executed trades, including open, pending and closed.
    • Closed positions: Shows only closed trades.
    • Balance: Balance report of everything you did on the platform.

You can navigate to the right-hand side of the panel to change the layout of your trades:

Closing your trades

When you decide to close a trade, a pop-up box will show up and ask you to confirm your action. That is because you don’t have one-click trading enabled. When it is enabled, the message will not show.

close your trade

If you want, you can enable it right then when the pop-up shows. If not, you can always turn it on later.

Editing your trades

Step 1: To edit your active position even more quickly, simply click on the position and it will trigger edit mode.

Step 2: Your position will open up in the order panel, and your SL (Stop Loss) & TP (Take Profit) levels will be displayed on the chart.

Step 3: You can edit your position directly on the chart or using the provided SL&TP calculator.
