Open Trading settings Trading settings define how a new order ticket starts and which safety prompts appear. They do not override challenge rules, market limits, or the settings already stored on an open position. Use Search in the desktop settings sidebar to find a control such as “Max Market Slippage”, “Margin Mode”, or “Confirm New Orders”. Selecting a nested result opens Trading and scrolls to the matching control.

Order Defaults

Mini and micro modes match the selected real-world contract’s dollar-per-point exposure with a platform perpetual position. They use the market’s maximum leverage to calculate required margin and round position size down to the market’s supported size increment. Other markets show only USD and asset units; the platform does not infer a futures multiplier.

Keyboard Execution

Keyboard execution is off by default. Turn on Enable keyboard execution to use the account-synced bindings below on the trade page. Select a binding to record a replacement. Press Escape to cancel recording, or Delete or Backspace to leave that action unassigned. After changing or clearing a binding, select Reset beside that action to restore only its default. The editor rejects duplicate bindings and shortcuts reserved by the app, browser, or operating system. Saved shortcut profiles created before the complete action set was available leave the new actions unassigned. Select Reset beside an unassigned action to add its default without changing your other bindings. Press Focus Positions to open the Positions activity tab and focus its first available Close control. Use Tab and Shift+Tab to move through the position actions and rows. Manage Focused Position TP/SL and Close Focused Position only act on the position whose action group currently has keyboard focus. The close dialog supports both full and partial sizes. Press Focus Open Orders to open the Open Orders activity tab and focus its first available Cancel control. Use Tab and Shift+Tab to choose another order. Cancel Focused Order only acts on the order whose actions currently have keyboard focus. If no matching position or order has focus, a contextual shortcut does nothing rather than choosing a row for you. Shortcuts do not run while you are typing in an input, select, text area, contenteditable field, or equivalent accessible editing control. Holding a key does not repeat an action. Submit, Cancel All, and Close All still use the same review dialogs, risk checks, and disabled states as their on-screen buttons. For Cancel All and Close All, the configured shortcut only opens the review dialog. The Confirm button receives focus and displays an Enter hint; press Enter as a separate second step to accept the bulk action. The order-size shortcut focuses and selects the Size field, so typing replaces its current value.

Execution Protection

Max Market Slippage Setting

Set the maximum adverse fill movement accepted for ordinary market orders and individual position closes. The server enforces the saved value. A tighter limit can reject more orders in fast or thin markets; a wider limit accepts more price movement. Close All retains its own protective exit limit so the platform can preserve the emergency close behavior.

Leverage caps

Set separate caps for non-Forex and Forex markets. A cap limits the leverage available in your order ticket; it cannot raise leverage above a market’s own maximum. Leave the field blank to use the selected market’s maximum.

Warn Without Stop Loss Setting

Turn this on to request confirmation when an order can increase exposure without an attached Stop Loss. The prompt is a warning, not a rule: confirming can still submit the order.

Trade Confirmations

Confirm New Orders has three options: Confirm TP/SL Chart Drags asks before a chart drag places or moves a Take Profit or Stop Loss order. It is off by default, so releasing a drag applies the change immediately. Turn it on if you want to review each change before it is submitted. This update resets previous confirmation choices to off for everyone. You can turn confirmation back on, and that new choice is saved.

Trade Notifications

Choose whether the app shows notifications for market-order fills, resting limit/stop fills, Take Profit fills, Stop Loss fills, order changes, and TP/SL changes. These are visual notifications. Configure audio separately under Notifications settings. For workflow examples, read the Trading Guide.
