Trading Panel

GoCharting provides multiple ways to place orders. Below are three commonly used methods:

1. Broker Selection Dropdown: Choose the broker of your choice once you have established connection using the API credentials
2. Buy/Sell Side Buttons: Chose side of the order
3. One-Click Trade: Place market orders with a single click. This method does not support limit orders.
4. Right-Click or Plus Button: Right-clicking on the chart at a specific price level allows you to initiate buy or sell orders based on that price. You can also use the plus button on the price axis. If the plus button is not visible, enable it from the axis settings in the settings menu.
5. Trading Panel: This provides a detailed panel for placing buy and sell orders. You can specify the order type (limit, market, stop, stop-limit), product type, disclosed quantity, iceberg, and offline orders.

Use Case

The GoCharting Trading Panel is the central hub for order entry, position monitoring, and account management. It displays open positions, pending orders, P&L, margin usage, and provides quick-access order entry forms for manual trading.

Strategy

Use the Trading Panel to monitor all open positions and pending orders during the trading session. Set the panel to display real-time unrealised P&L for all open positions to track your aggregate exposure. Configure the position display to show the position’s entry price and distance to the current price as a quick risk assessment.

Common Mistakes

Do not ignore Trading Panel warnings about margin usage or position concentration. Avoid entering new orders from the panel without checking that your current account has sufficient margin. Do not leave the Trading Panel minimised during active trading — visible position monitoring is a critical part of real-time risk management.
