Element Reference

1. Pin UI
   Toggles persistent on-chart visibility for labels/icons, so controls stay visible even when the tool is not selected.

2. Track Price
   Makes Entry follow last price. Useful for market-style planning; disable it to freely place Entry. It can be auto-enabled when the tool is created near current market price.

3. Lock Indicator (Chart Lock)
   Locks non-icon interactions (no area/line dragging), keeps icon actions available, and turns off Track Price if it was enabled.

4. Open TradeControl Panel
   Toggles the TradeControl window state (open/focus/restore/close). Icon state reflects whether the window is open.

5. TP Line (Target role line)
   Horizontal line assigned to the Target role. It is not always the upper line.

6. TP Label
   Compact target label (TP ...) with projected cash impact and % relative to account balance.

7. TP Zone
   Target-leg shaded area between Entry and Target when target leg is enabled.

8. Entry Metrics Label
   Entry summary chip (for example Q, R, Eq) with sizing/risk context.

9. SL Zone
   Stop-leg shaded area between Entry and Stop when stop leg is enabled.

10. SL Label
    Compact stop label (SL ...) with projected cash impact and % relative to account balance.

11. SL Line (Stop role line)
    Horizontal line assigned to the Stop role (dashed style by default).

12. Panic Button
    Emergency action with configurable confirmation prompts before executing the panic routine.

13. SL Leg Toggle
    Enables/disables the Stop leg in the overlay.

14. Entry Line
    Entry reference line used for TP/SL distances, risk/reward, and sizing calculations.

15. TP Leg Toggle
    Enables/disables the Target leg in the overlay.

16. Move Overlay Handle
    Center drag handle to move the setup. With Track Price enabled, vertical movement is restricted.

Important Behavior

• TP/SL are role-based, not position-based: TP is the Target role and SL is the Stop role. Either one can be above or below Entry.
• Trade direction comes from line placement: for example, moving the TP role below Entry can represent a short setup.
• Gear icon is a window toggle: it can open, focus/restore, or close the TradeControl window depending on state.

Visual Conventions

• Green elements: Target role side (default colors).
• Red elements: Stop role side (default colors).
• Center line: Entry reference.
• Shaded zones: quick risk/reward context.
