What is the Stop Loss Key?

The Stop Loss (SL) Key in the TAQ Magic Keys panel is a trading control that allows traders to quickly set or adjust the stop loss for running trades. A stop loss is a predefined price level at which a trade automatically closes to prevent further loss if the market moves against the position.

Risk management is one of the most important elements of successful trading. Without a stop loss, traders may expose their accounts to significant risk during sudden market movements. The Stop Loss Key simplifies this process by allowing traders to apply stop loss levels quickly using the Magic Keys panel.

Instead of manually opening the order modification window and entering stop loss values, traders can set the stop loss with just a few clicks.

Function of the Stop Loss Key

The main function of the Stop Loss Key is to set or adjust the stop loss for running trades using a predefined pip increment system.

• Each click increases the stop loss distance by 30 pips.
• Traders review the selected stop loss value.
• After confirming the desired stop loss, they press the Enter Button to apply it.

Example of stop loss increments:

• 1st Click = 30 pips
• 2nd Click = 60 pips
• 3rd Click = 90 pips
• and so on in increments of 30 pips (30 : x).
