Trade from chart: When we place a buy order above the CMP, trade from the chart places SLM orders. In the new version, SL orders will be placed instead of SLM.

Chart to backtest (powered by Streak): We have a streak button on the chart menu that allows us to run backtests by clicking on it. Backtesting will be performed using the indicators that have been applied. The algorithm selects a widely used strategy and runs a backtest on it. A client may run a maximum of ten free backtests per day. More than ten backtest and edit strategies require a streak subscription.
