features

- one-click execution: press long or short on the panel. lot size is calculated based on your risk settings, and sl and tp levels are set automatically.

- staged multi-tp exits: set up to three exit stages with customizable close percentages. default: 40% at stage 1, 30% at stage 2, and the remainder at stage 3. stage information is stored in the order comment.
- adaptive trailing stop: choose from three trailing algorithms: fixed-point distance, atr-scaled distance (customizable), or previous-bar swing high/low. broker stop levels are automatically considered.
- auto breakeven: move the sl to entry price plus a safety offset when profit reaches a configured threshold. the "lock b/e" button applies breakeven to all profitable positions.
- drawdown guard: set a maximum drawdown percentage from your session equity peak. commanddesk monitors equity and auto-flattens positions/pending orders when the limit is breached. new orders are blocked until recovery. disabled by default.

- intelligent position sizing: choose from fixed lot, percentage of balance, or flat dollar amount at risk. volume adjusts on every tick.
- full pending order suite: buy/sell limit and stop with automatic sl/tp placement, adhering to broker's minimum stop levels.
