This was the best tutorial on how to place a trade on tradingview! Your style and pace was perfect. Please do one for the mobile app if you haven’t done so already. You’re the best. Excellent content.

[@TradingHeroes]

Thanks, glad it helped! Will do.

[@HubAcosta]

Hi Hugh, question for you on the TradingView order panel, can you explain how units are calculated in the trading panel? I know the position size formula as: ($Risk / Stop Loss Distance). In the following Short example I get ($50/(112.16-111.18)*111.18)= 5,672 units. However, TV calculates 7,690 units, any idea how they come up with that calc? That’s the figure that’s used to calculate P&L, not the trade value down below. I find the difference consistently and wonder what I am missing, thanks!

[@stalin123able]

bro i wan to trade in crypto futures pl. share the decentralized exchange where i can use trading view for buy stop loss nd target orders thtrough mouse clicks. samething for forex markets and commodity markets.

[@Idfk007]

when you buy an order, does it get filled immediately and vice versa with selling (I'm 14 so I don't know much)

[@thompson29754]

When I hit the X to close the trade I don't get the option to close part of the trade. Can you tell me how to configure TV to allow me to close part of the trade the way you showed in the video? I know there are other ways to accomplish the same thing.

Try a right-click on the trade.

[@LuisFernandez-ty5vh]

What about OCO orders. If the trade hits the stop or the profit level, would the other order cancels itself here at TradingView, or any suggestion to put OCO orders?

[@TradingHeroes]

A couple of brokers on TV will do brackets...AMP/CQG. Otherwise you can look for another platform that allows order management plugins if they don't have the function natively.

[@rid1393]

Thank you for this. Valuable info

[@TradingHeroes]

You're welcome, glad it helped.

[@magma3525]

Is there a one-click option for dragging the SL or TP line without the box coming up on the left and pressing the modify button? Also, how to get rid of the notifications on the left side that come up after placing an order? Thanks for the video.

[@TradingHeroes]

Not possible on both. Thanks for watching.

[@shawnevans9086]

Is there a way when entering multiple trades of the same assets to have separate Entry Lines/TP/SL and not all get put into one? Example, you create (3) GU buys a minute apart. But Tradingview counts them all together combined. Thanks

[@TradingHeroes]

Depends on the broker. Oanda does not smush, demo: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJ7NfXV5msubjrs

I am back a month later and I know so much more, so not confusing anymore but very helpful., let me ask you something? are you still using tradingview foe your trades or still using metatrader? thanks .. anyone please reply too. Thanks.

[@TradingHeroes]

You're welcome!

[@bricktothehead]

Thank you for the video. I'm confused about the 'Units'. I don't quite understand how that works or applies to making a trade.

[@TradingHeroes]

It's like 1 share of stock. Every market has a minimum unit.

[@bricktothehead]

@@TradingHeroesI am new to placing trades this way. Is there a link I can follow to understand better?

[@TradingHeroes]

Best thing to do is open a demo or paper trading account so you can experiment with play money. That's the best way to learn.

[@pikiwiki]

Thanks. This was very helpful

No, you can enter trades on the mobile app too.

Hi Hugh...Thanks for creating this vid...great intro on placing a trade on TradingView. I have a question...here's the hypothetical...If I open an order...with say...20 shares...with initially no attachments to it...can I then immediately go back...and modify only a PARTIAL quantity of those 20 shares...say 10 shares...with an OCO bracket...and then the other 10 shares with just a stop loss...any thoughts...ty...-Mike

Thanks for watching Mike. This is a question for TradingView, probably depends on the broker.

I need help my trading panel is not working like it used to when I click on the Stop loss. It used to give me 3 windows that show me dollar risk and percentage risk.

ok so you can trade live but is this also consider a broker, or you have to link a broker to tradingview.. like on FTMO you use MT4 to actually place the trade ... something like that? thanks !
