# 📖 Examples & Workflows

**Examples & Recommended Workflows**

1. Quick Manual Entry (Manage Mode)

* **Setup:** Set TC to MANAGE (click TC button until "MANAGE" displays)

* **Entry Selection:**

  * Choose Entry Mode = LINES
  * Choose **Order Type** = **PO** (Pending Order)

* **Execution:**

  * Draw a horizontal line at your entry price
  * Convert to pending order (dashboard button or right-click helper)
  * Open the trade panel for that pending order
  * Set SL/TP using panel inputs or draggable lines
  * Press Place to submit the order

* **Lot Size:** Your **Lot Method** and **Risk Per Trade** settings determine position size automatically

2. Day-Trader Live Execution (Intraday Scalping)

* **Setup:**

  * Set TC = MANAGE for manual control
  * Set Entry Mode = CANDLE for bar-based entries
  * Set **Order Type** = **MO** (Market Order) for instant execution

3. Prop-Firm / Copy-Trade Management (Magic Number 0 Mode)

* **Setup:**

  * Set **Magic Number** to **0** in EA settings to enable Trade Management Mode for external/manual trades
  * This allows the EA to manage trades you place manually or copy from another source

* **Preservation Settings:**

  * Enable the preserve-existing-SL/TP settings, if available, to keep your manually set SL/TP levels
  * EA will manage break-even, trailing, and partial closes without changing your entry levels

* **Session Control:**

  * Use the pending-order session close option, if available, to avoid unwanted overnight pending orders
  * Keep the close-trades-at-session-end option off if you want to hold positions overnight

* **Risk Limits:**

  * Set daily drawdown limits to comply with prop firm rules
  * Enable **Strict Margin Rejection (Backtest Realism)** for more realistic margin behavior

* **Trailing Settings:**

  * Set **Trailing Stop Method** to **Pips** for straightforward trailing
  * Set **Distance** to 10.0 for a 10 pip trailing distance
  * Set **Activation** to 15.0 to activate after 15 pips profit

* **Session Control:**

  * Enable **Session 1** for your active trading hours
  * Use the close-trades-at-session-end option if your build exposes it and you want automatic session-end closure
  * Use the pending-order session close option if your build exposes it and you want to avoid overnight pending orders

4. Automated Signal + Manual Overrides (Hybrid Approach)

* **Normal Operation:** TC = AUTO to let signal orchestration run automatically

* **Manual Intervention:**

  * If you need to intervene on a specific trade:

    

    1. Switch TC to MANAGE (stops new signals)
    2. Open the trade panel for the position you want to modify
    3. Adjust SL/TP, add trailing, or close position via panel buttons
    4. Switch TC back to AUTO to resume signal detection

* **Use Case:** Great for when you want automation but need to override specific trades based on news or price action

5. Risk-Limited Session (Daily Drawdown Protection)

* **Setup:**

  * Enable **Daily DD Control** and set **Max Daily Loss %** in EA settings
  * Once daily drawdown limit is hit, dashboard automatically enters PAUSED state

* **Behavior:**

  * All trade execution blocked
  * Existing trades remain open (or can be auto-closed based on settings)
  * Dashboard displays "PAUSED - DD LIMIT" status
  * Manual reset required or waits for next trading day

* **Prop Firm Compliance:** Essential for staying within daily loss limits
