Brackets & drag-to-set TP/SL
A bracket is a stop and a target attached to an entry. Set one when you place the order, then fine-tune it by dragging the bracket lines directly on the chart - whether the entry came from the trade ticket, the DOM, or an open position. No re-typing prices: grab the line and move it.

Section titled “Overview”Brackets give an entry an exit plan: a stop to cap the loss and a target to take the profit. You can attach them when you submit - the SL/TP toggle on the trade ticket, the bracket dialog on the DOM - or add and reshape them after the fact on an open position. Once they’re on the chart, each line is draggable, so adjusting a stop is a single gesture and the new price snaps to the market’s tick.
Dragging the lines against live price lets you place a stop or target on a real level instead of guessing at numbers in a form.
How to use
