Buy & Sell Buttons

Overview

FastBTN provides 5 buttons to Buy and 5 buttons to Sell, but you don’t have to use them all. To disable a button, simply set the button’s lot size to 0 (zero). You can customize each button individually.

Behavior

When you click a Buy or Sell button:

• A market order is sent immediately
• The order uses the current chart symbol
• Trade parameters such as lot size, TP, and SL are applied based on your settings

Because these buttons execute trades instantly, it is important to configure them carefully.

You can control whether Buy and Sell buttons are shown on the chart. Typical options include:

• Showing both Buy and Sell buttons
• Showing only Buy buttons
• Showing only Sell buttons
• Hiding both buttons completely

These options are useful if:

• You only trade in one direction
• You want to prevent accidental trades
• You are testing other features without opening new positions

Hide Buy & Sell Buttons if Disabled

When you don’t use all 5 buttons, you may want to disable some of them. The disabled buttons can still be shown on your chart or be hidden. Set this option to true to hide disabled Buy & Sell buttons.

If Hidden, Distribute Shown Buttons Evenly

When you disable and hide some buttons, do you want the shown buttons to fill the row? If yes, set this to true. This setting only works when Hide Buy & Sell buttons if disabled is set to true.
