Manual trading

Direct, on-chart entry. Drag a SL/TP, click TAKE, you're in. Phihelm gives you the safety rails of auto-trade with the timing control of manual.

Entry from a signal

When a pattern shows ACTIVE, hit TAKE on the OPT panel. The bracket order goes out at market with the entry / SL / TP already set from the pattern projection.

Entry from the chart

  1. Right-click any price level on the chart.
  2. Pick Buy here or Sell here.
  3. Drag the SL line down (long) or up (short) to your stop.
  4. Drag the TP line to your target.
  5. Click Send.

Editing in-flight

Click and drag any open trade's SL or TP chip on the chart. The modify request goes to the broker; Phihelm waits for the broker confirmation before updating the local state. If the broker rejects the modify (price too tight, side wrong), the chip flashes red and stays at the original level.

Tip
The current-price label is white + bold + always on top of every overlay. If you can't see it, you're zoomed in too far — press Reset zoom in the chart toolbar.

Broker-cancel safety

If you cancel the SL at the broker (e.g. you decide to ride out a stop-hunt wick), Phihelm detects the cancellation, clears the SL order id locally, and stops faking a STOP_LOSS_HIT close on price touches. Your trade keeps running until you re-arm an SL or close it manually.

Look for
The ⚠ NO SLwarning pill on the trade card whenever a position is uncovered. That's your reminder that the rails aren't up.
Avoid
Modifying SL during a fast print without the wick-confirm option on. The broker sees your new level mid-spike and fills you at it.
