Hello,

i have questions relative to the trade & positions flow & management:

Once a limit order has been triggered:

> I do not see how to close it neither in the graph neither in the Orders and Positions tab. Someone can show me that ?

> Where it is possible to see a list of all the active orders with the Profit & Loss in real time ?

> It is possible to change the strategy of a given order once it has been filled by the market ? (in order to change the stop loss or take profit distance for example ?)

> There are no complete video tutorial showing the major possibilities and I do think that it is a pitty and a mistake. Any link ?

On most broker interface, you have 6 orders types Buy, Sell, Buy Limit, Sell Limit, Buy Stop and Sell Stop but not these supplementary options:

> Sell Ask & Sell Bid: where is placed the Ask & the Bid on the Sell side ? The bid is a the top of the candle or the end ? Any illustration ?

> Buy Ask & Buy Bid: where is placed the Ask & the Bid on the Buy side ? Same question: any illustration ?


Thanks for your kind precisions.
