In the “Take Profit” field, enter your take-profit level (optional but recommended)
Click “Buy” or “Sell” to execute — your SL/TP will be attached to the trade automatically

Tips for Managing Stop-Loss in MatchTrader
Use the SL field at order entry — it’s faster and reduces the risk of forgetting after the trade opens
Enable one-click trading in MatchTrader settings if you want to set default SL distances for faster execution
Monitor the Positions tab — you can see at a glance whether all open trades have active stop-losses
Be careful with pending orders — stop-losses are recommended after a pending order is triggered and becomes an active position
