Hello guys... I have 1 basic question here :

How do I make those tiny red & green arrow appear when manually opening & closing a trade ?

So far I only seen it when using an EA to auto trade.

Thanks for your help

You need an indicator to detect opening and closing of your orders with the option to plot arrows or whatever you want.

You can drag a trade from the terminal account history window onto the main chart and it will plot the arrows

Firstly, I had no reason to tell you until you asked
2ndly, I don't think, but not sure that it works with open trades

Thanks FerruFX,
I wasn't sure and I have no open trades because of the slow market today, so couldn't check.

You can probably tweak the indicators in the following thread to show open trades the way you want them.
