Hi,
Whenever I place a trade I have to manually type the numbers for sl and tp, and I am wondering if there is a way to set them faster, like just clicking on the chart and have option "set sl" "set tp", or something like that.
I'm a forex noob and I feel like I really need that when gambling with the news, because when I trade the news I don't have time to manually set sl and tp

Is forex rocketscience? Yes it is.

Put the mouse pointer on the open trade line with the left mouse button held down simply drag the mouse up or down and release when TP/SL are set where you want them to be.
