Entry Movement, Track, and Linked / Free

If the indicator cannot be moved vertically, it means Track Price mode is enabled. To unlock it, disable Track Price either by clicking the T icon on the indicator in the chart or from the Trade tab by clicking the Track Price button.

Track Price is automatically enabled when the indicator is created close to the current market price. If the indicator is created farther away from the current price, Track Price is disabled by default, assuming the user may be preparing a pending order rather than a market entry.

In the Trade tab, the Linked / Free selector controls how the Stop Loss and Take Profit levels move when Entry changes. Linked is the default. This selector works with both Track and manual Entry movement.

ModeWhat happens when Entry moves
LinkedThe SL and TP levels move with Entry.
FreeThe SL and TP levels keep their prices until Entry comes within one tick of a level.

Use Linked when you want the levels to follow Entry. Use Free when you want to move Entry while keeping the planned stop and target prices in place.

Entry cannot reach or cross an SL or TP. When it comes within one tick, it starts pushing the affected level to keep that minimum gap. If a pushed TP reaches another TP, they continue moving with a one-tick gap between them.

When Entry moves back, the levels stop following it and stay at the last prices they reached.

For example, with Entry at 100 and TP at 110, moving Entry to 105 leaves TP at 110. As Entry comes within one tick of TP, it starts pushing TP. If Entry then moves back down, TP stays where it was pushed.

This behavior applies to your setup levels. It does not introduce automatic management of orders you have already submitted.

Free and Fixed reward/risk cannot be active together:

  • Selecting Free turns off Fixed reward/risk.
  • Turning on Fixed reward/risk switches the levels back to Linked.

Review the mode after changing either control. See Fixed R/R for the ratio setting.
