TradeControl is a chart-first trade management tool for NinjaTrader 8.
It is designed to help you plan entries directly on the chart, size positions quickly, and execute with consistent risk controls.

These docs focus on practical usage: what each control does, how tab workflows connect, and where risk-related checks apply during execution.
