How to Drag and Place Stop Loss & Take Profit on the Chart

Overview

With Drag-to-Place SL & TP, you can instantly manage risk and targets by dragging ghost markers directly on your chart.

Every time you place a trade, FX Replay automatically displays draggable Stop Loss (orange) and Take Profit (green) lines. Just grab, drop, and confirm — no menus required.

This feature makes backtesting faster, smoother, and more intuitive.

⚡ Why Drag-to-Place Matters

Backtesting is already time-consuming. Having to manually add SL and TP after every trade slows down your workflow and breaks momentum.

Before Drag-to-Place

• You had to open the order panel to add or adjust SL/TP.
• Every trade required extra clicks.
• Data collection felt slower and more tiring.

With Drag-to-Place

• SL & TP ghost markers appear instantly after entering a trade.
• You drag them visually to your target levels.
• PnL ($), distance (pips/ticks), and % update in real time as you move the lines.
• You confirm with one release — fast, frictionless, and accurate.

👉 Perfect for traders who want efficiency and smooth workflow during high-volume backtesting.

⚙️ How It Works

1. Place an Order

• FX Replay automatically shows two ghost markers:
  • 🟧 Orange = Stop Loss (SL)
  • 🟩 Green = Take Profit (TP)

‍

2. Drag the Markers

• Move them to your desired price level.
• PnL, distance, and % adjust live as you drag.

‍

3. Release to Confirm

• Let go, and FX Replay locks in your SL/TP.
• A toast notification confirms the placement.

‍

4. Adjust or Delete Anytime

• Drag again to update levels.
• Delete one without affecting the other.
• If SL/TP are already set manually, ghost markers won’t appear.

📝 Important Notes

• Ghost lines appear only if no SL/TP is already set.
• Color coding:
  • 🟧 Orange = Stop Loss
  • 🟩 Green = Take Profit
• Ghost markers won’t interfere with other chart elements.
• Works for both market and pending orders with no SL/TP set.
