Visual Entry Systems

BananaEA supports three visual entry systems that change how you place and manage trades interactively on the chart:

  1. CANDLE (Bar-based entry)
    • Use candle context to place entries at candle opens/closes or to mark significant bars.
    • Typical workflow: set Entry Mode to CANDLE, click the chart to mark the reference candle, and then choose PO or MO.
  2. SWING (High/Low Swing-based entry)
    • Detects swing highs/lows and uses them to place entry levels.
    • When Entry Mode = SWING, the visual helper highlights swing points and suggested entry price.
  3. LINES (Manual lines)
    • Draw horizontal/vertical/price lines and convert them into entry definitions.
    • Useful for precise entries, e.g., important price levels, supply/demand zones.

Common behaviors:

  • Switching Entry Mode hides or shows the appropriate helper objects and guides.
  • OrderType determines whether a PO (pending order) object will be created (and can be submitted later) or whether the EA should attempt a MO (market order) immediately.
  • When placing POs the EA creates SL/TP helper lines which the draggable trade panel will pick up for modifications.

How it Works:

  • Entry Mode and Order Type toggles on the dashboard control which system is active
  • The EA automatically creates entry levels based on your selected mode and chart interactions

Usage tips:

  • Use LINES for high-precision setups; use SWING when you want the EA's swing detection to recommend levels.
  • After creating a pending order from a line, review the pending ticket in the trade panel before leaving AUTO mode.
