3. Here, you can turn the toggles for ‘Associated Limit’ and ‘Associated Stop’ on
4. Choose to place your stop or limit at a specific level under ‘Price’, number of pips away under ‘Pips’ or a monetary value under ‘P&L’

Enter your desired name for your list and tap ‘Create’. Once this new watchlist is created, you can add markets to it easily via the ‘Markets’ tab.

How do I create a chart template?

Follow these steps to create a new chart template:

1. Tap the full-screen icon in the bottom-left corner of any chart to access all the features available to you
2. Set up your chart with the indicators and tools you wish to feature on your template
3. Scroll along toolbar on the top for more options, and hit the ‘Save’ button

The layout will be saved and will now show under the cloud icon in the upper right corner. To switch to a different layout or to create a new one, select the down arrow next to the saved layout.

How do I see individual positions?

If you have more than one trade in the same market, the app will automatically group those trades together in a consolidated view for you in the ‘Portfolio’ window. If you wish to see each position individually, simply tap on the relevant trade and it will collapse to reveal each trade separately.

Additionally, you can also use the ‘Stack’ button in the upper-right corner to toggle this view on or off.

How do I adjust parameters on an indicator?

When viewing a chart and with an indicator applied, you should see the name of your indicator to the extreme left of the chart. If you can’t, then you should see a sideways arrow which you can expand to see the indicator name.

Tap on the indicator name to see additional options, then hit the cogwheel icon to adjust your indicator’s settings. From here, you can adjust the parameters as needed and hit ‘OK’ to save your settings.

Why can't I see my positions on the chart?

If you can’t see your live positions or orders on a chart, you’ll need to make sure that ‘Show Positions’ is enabled in the ‘Chart Settings’ area of the settings menu.

If ‘Show Positions’ is toggled on, then it’s worth double checking the timeframe of your chart as it may not be currently showing the area of your position or order.

How can I trade from chart?

On a full-screen chart, tap ‘TRADE’ at the top of your screen to quickly place a trade.

You can also view any live positions directly on charts and tap the ‘X’ icon to close them. To adjust this setting, head over to the ‘Chart Settings’ section of the settings menu.

My trade keeps getting rejected due to price tolerance, where can I adjust that?

Follow these steps to adjust your price tolerance for an individual market:

1. Swipe on your chosen market in the ‘Watchlists’ or ‘Markets’ tabs
2. Tap ‘More’, then ‘Market Information’
3. Under ‘Preferences’, you can amend your price tolerance to your chosen level

How do I check if I already have the latest version?

To check which version of the app you’re currently running, simply open the app and take a look at the version number at the bottom of the log-in screen. If the figure begins with a 4 or higher, you’re still using the old version of the app.

If the figure begins with a 1, you’re on the new version.
