# Show manual trade buttons on panel

When enabled, you’ll see buttons that let you manually interact with the EA’s trading flow (open entries, add a recovery, or close EA trades). When disabled, those buttons are hidden to keep the panel clean and to prevent accidental clicks.

{% hint style="info" %}

#### What it affects

#### When enabled

The panel shows these buttons:

* **Open Buy Entry**
* **Open Sell Entry**
* **Add Recovery Trade**
* **Close EA Trades**

#### When disabled

Those manual buttons are **not visible**, and you can’t trigger them from the panel.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}

### Why you’d use this

✅ Enable it if you want to:

* manually start an entry when you see a good setup
* manually add a recovery trade (advanced users only)
* quickly close EA trades from the chart

✅ Disable it if you want:

* a cleaner panel
* to avoid accidental “fat-finger” trades
* fully automated behavior only
  {% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}

### Important notes

* These buttons are meant for **manual control**, so use them only if you understand how they affect exposure (especially **Add Recovery Trade**).
* **Close EA Trades** closes trades opened by the EA (based on its trade identification / magic number rules).
  {% endhint %}
