Five ways traders are using Trade Shortcuts

Make fast entries without hesitation
Market moving? A one-click shortcut lets you enter instantly — with predefined size and risk controls.

Set your profit targets without hovering
Attach take profit levels that auto-trigger with precision — even while you’re watching another chart.

Exit losers, fast
Keep a “Sell Market – Reduce Only” shortcut always ready to flatten losing positions on demand.

Automate your discipline
Set fixed-size entries and stops to enforce consistent trading rules — no second-guessing.

Switch strategies with one preset
Create Trade Shortcut presets for different market conditions (e.g., “Choppy,” “Breakout,” “Reversal”).

A quick reminder

Trade Shortcuts are powerful tools and should be configured carefully. Always verify trigger signals, size, and attached orders before use — especially with Skip Confirmation enabled.
