The Next Generation Personal Assistant is the latest and improved version of the Personal Assistant EA. If you're looking to streamline your trading experience, you're in for a treat!
What's New?
- Set pending orders (Buy Stop, Sell Stop, Buy Limit, Sell Limit) easily with an interactive interface.
- Predefine your Stop Loss and Take Profit before placing your order—this is mandatory for pending orders to keep your trading safe.
- Get instant feedback on the percentage of capital at risk for your Stop Loss and potential gain for your Take Profit.
- Your profit/loss calculations now include commissions and swaps, giving you a clear picture of your trading performance.
- Each instance of the EA runs independently, so you can operate multiple Personal Assistants without any hiccups.
- Need to cancel? You can abort the order-setting process at any time.
- FIX: The Stop Loss and Take Profit calculations have been corrected. If you’ve downloaded the Personal Assistant before and encountered issues, be sure to download the latest version!
How to Set a BUY STOP Order: Step-by-Step
- Attach the Personal Assistant The Next Generation to your chart and ensure it's selected.
- Press the '6' key on your keyboard.
- Click on the chart to select your entry price (e.g., clicking at price level 1.0901 sets it as your entry price).
- Select your Stop Loss by clicking on the chart.
- Select your Take Profit by clicking on the chart.
- If all parameters are set correctly, your order will be placed. If not, an alert will pop up.
This process is consistent across all pending orders and fairly similar for instant orders, based on your user settings. You can abort the process by pressing '0' until the last price level is chosen.
The EA will also display instructions on the chart to guide you—these instructions will update throughout the process and disappear once you're done.
