# Panel Guide
π**Pause EA / Resume EA**
* **Pause EA**:  When you press this button, the EA **stops all operations**:
* No new trades will be opened.
* No recovery trades will be initiated.
* Existing trades will not be managed or closed.
* While paused, the button label will change to **Resume EA**.
* **Resume EA**: Press this to allow the EA to resume normal activity β including trade management, new trade openings, and recovery operations.
π *Use this when you want to temporarily stop the EA, for example, during high-impact news events or uncertain market conditions.*
***
#### π**Enable / Disable Trailing SL**
* **Enable Trailing SL**: If trailing stop-loss is currently disabled, pressing this will activate a **trailing stop** on all open trades at a distance of **500 points** (50 pips).
* **Disable Trailing SL**: If trailing is already active, the button label will change to reflect this. Pressing it will **remove all trailing stops** from the trades.
π *Trailing stop-loss is useful for locking in profits when the market moves in your favor while still allowing room for price fluctuations.*
***
#### π§Reset Profit
* Press once  to reset all profit tracking and start counting from zero going forward.\
When the value is 0, press again to reload all historical data.
***
#### π **Open Buy Entry and** π **Open Sell Entry**
These two buttons appear **only when the EA has no active trades**. They allow you to manually start a trade that the EA will then manage automatically.
* **Open Buy Entry**: Press this if you believe the market will go **up**.
* **Open Sell Entry**: Press this if you believe the market will go **down**.
Once pressed, the EA opens a position in your chosen direction and takes full control:
* It will manage the trade.
* If needed, it will add recovery trades.
* It will close the trade when profitable, using its built-in logic.
π *Great for users who want to apply their own market analysis while still letting the EA handle the management.*
π§ͺ *Best to experiment with these on a demo account to learn how they work and gain confidence.*
***
#### π **Add Recovery Trade**
This button appears **only when the EA has at least one open trade**. It gives you the option to manually add a **recovery trade**, which works in the same direction as the **original entry**.
Use this if:
* You believe the market is about to reverse in your favor.
* You want to help accelerate the recovery process at a specific price level.
When pressed, the EA will:
* Open a trade in the same direction as the original one (or oldest trade, in case of multiple).
* Automatically manage the new trade as part of the recovery process.
π *This is useful for advanced users who want to support the EAβs logic with their own timing. Only use when you're confident in the market direction.*
{% hint style="warning" %}
These tools are optional and meant to enhance your interaction with the EA. The EA performs fully automatically and does not require manual input to function effectively.
For best results, test any manual interactions on a **demo account** first.
{% endhint %}
Closes **all open trades** that were opened by the EA **running on the current chart**, filtered by the **Magic Number** assigned to this instance.
This button provides a quick and safe way to manually close **only the trades opened by this specific EA instance** (identified by its Magic Number).\
It will **not affect** other trades opened by:
* Manual trading unless you set Magic number 0
* Other EA instances on other charts or symbols
* EAs with different Magic Numbers
{% hint style="info" %}
#### π§ **Example Use Case:**
* You notice the EA's trades are in profit and want to manually take them all out at once.
* You want to stop the current EA's trades without affecting other pairs or strategies.
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="success" %}
#### **Benefits:**
* Fast manual intervention
* Safe (only closes this EAβs trades)
* Useful during volatile conditions or manual override situations
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="danger" %}
#### **Important Notes:**
* Only affects the **symbol and magic number** of the current chart.
* If youβre using multiple EAs or multiple magic numbers, this ensures **no overlap or unintended closures**.
* If a trade fails to close (e.g., due to high spread or slippage), it will remain open and can retry on the next tick.
