The account settings are separated per account. At the account level you can set a nickname, target types, and then manage the settings for each order type. Settings you set under account "A" only are for A only.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Select Account

You must first select the account you wish to adjust settings for.

Step 1: From the VisionKeys app click "Settings" on the main screen to access the App settings. Next, select "Trade" on the left panel to access the trade settings.



Step 2: Click the "Account" drop-down to select the desired account.


REQUIRED: If no account has yet synced to VisionKeys, you will not yet be able to access the "Account" drop-down. If this is the case, you need to complete the First Time Setup.




Set or Update Nickname

You can set a nickname for the account to avoid having to remember the account number. The nickname will also show on the Stream Deck when swapping/selecting accounts.


Step 1: From the VisionKeys app click "Settings" on the main screen to access the App settings. Next, select "Trade" on the left panel to access the trade settings.


Step 2: In the "Account" drop-down select the account you want to edit the Nickname for. Once selected you will see the Nickname field and can type in your desired nickname


TIP: Avoid long nicknames so the text fits across the Stream Deck keys correctly



Target Types

The target type setting controls whether you intend on your various TP/SL etc settings for Order Types to be interpreted as a $ value or a points/pips value

$ USD Based

If you want to specify your various targets as a $ amount, you can set the Target Type under the account to "$USD Based". This means when you enter "20" for a Take Profit value, the Application will translate to Metatrader that you are aiming for a $20 Take Profit for your order. This works the same across Stop Loss, Trailing Stops, etc etc.


NOTE: With the USD Based target type an extra calculation is performed by Metatrader to identify the target levels that match your settings. You might not always get an exact amount, but it will be as close as possible.


Point/Pip Based

If you prefer to specify your various targets as a point/pip value, you can set the Target type under the account to "Point/Pip Based". This means when you enter "20" for a Take Profit value, the order or modification will target 20 points/pips. This of course works the same across all of the settings Stop Loss, Trailing Stops, etc etc.



Order Types

Order Types under the account Trade Settings are where we adjust trade settings for the specific order types VisionKeys offers.

  • Pending Orders such as Buy Limit & Stop, and Sell Limit & Stop orders will fall under the "Standard" Order Type. 
  • Buy or Sell will fall under the "Standard" Order Type.
  • Runner Buy or Runner Sell will fall under the "Preset (Runner)" Order Type.
  • All of the options for managing an open position such as TP+/-, SL+/-, and Start Trail fall under the "Bumps" Order Type
