Setting Price Levels In the "Price Levels" section: Entry Price : The price at which you plan to enter the trade Stop Loss Price : Where you'll exit if the trade goes against you Take Profit Price : Your target price where you'll take profits If you set Entry Price to 0, it will default to the current price.

Adjusting Your Trade on the Chart The beauty of this tool is its interactivity: You can drag any of the lines directly on the chart to adjust entry, stop loss, or take profit If you drag the take profit above the entry , the indicator automatically sets up for a Long trade If you drag the take profit below the entry , it automatically configures for a Short trade All calculations and visuals update in real-time as you adjust the lines This means you can quickly test different scenarios and see how they affect your position size and potential profit/loss. 6.

It ensures that you maintain consistent risk across all your trades, regardless of the stop loss distance, which is a key component of successful risk management.
