Magic Number
The magic number is used to identify that a trade was opened by an EA. This allows FastBTN to distinguish its own trades from manual trades or other EAs.
FastBTN uses 85438 as its magic number. You can change it to any number you want. When you see this magic number on a trade, you’ll know that trade was opened by FastBTN.

Button Width, Height, and Spacing
Default values:
- Button width: 70
- Button height: 30
- Button spacing: 5
This is the space between buttons, to the left/right/above/below.
You can adjust these values to suit your needs. For example, if you change a button’s text, you may want to make it wider or narrower.

The default value is false, meaning the Close Buttons are arranged in 2 columns like this:
If you set it to true, they will appear like this:
Show Buttons Tooltip
If you enable this option, a tooltip will appear when you hover over a button. The tooltip briefly describes what that button does and its shortcut (if any).
Enable Shortcut Keys
Set this to true if you want to use keyboard shortcuts for faster execution. Please read more about shortcut keys here.
Enable Comments
FastBTN uses comments to let you know which buttons or shortcut keys are pressed when you execute a trade. Set this to true to enable it. If you set it to false, the comments will default to blank. Please read more about shortcut keys here.
Uniformity for All Buttons
If enabled, this will override the individual button settings.
Use same text color for all buttons
If set to true, all buttons will have the same text color: the color you choose in the Text color for all buttons option.
Each button’s individual text color setting will be overridden.
Use same font for all buttons
