The smart trade terminal lets you set up conditional orders that basic exchange interfaces do not support, take profit ladders, stop loss at entry plus multiple take profit levels simultaneously, trailing stops that follow the price up while protecting downside.

For someone who trades manually but wants more sophisticated order management than the exchange provides natively, the terminal alone can justify the subscription.

Pure fixed ladders leave gains on the table when trends extend significantly beyond the h...
