To create new trade, start by clicking on the Plus button in the bottom right corner of the screen when viewing the Trades section of the app.

Start by choosing your desired method to create the trade. Similarly to the methods offered in the Telegram bot, Cornix currently offers two methods to create a trade - Free text and Manual (called Guided in the Telegram bot).

The free text option will allow you to provide the trade details using a single message. In some cases, the free text method might be significantly faster than the manual one, especially when creating a trade with specific target prices as opposed to spreading targets with equal distanced between them in a price range For more information about the free text trade creation method visit this article.

To change the trade creation method, simply click on the desired method. Pressing on the Free Text input box will also change the method to the Free Text method. When Selecting the Free Text method, make sure to provide the full trade message according to the guidelines provided in the article mentioned above.

Start by choosing the symbol to use for the trade. Continue to select a symbol from the list or type in a symbol in the search box to search for your desired symbol:

Please note that you can search for the symbol by the coin name, by pair, or by full symbol name. When entering a symbol name, you can ignore the upper case and omit the separator between the coin name and pair name (so searching for "adabtc"or "ada btc" will still find ADA/BTC).

Select the account to create the trade from your list of available accounts. Some of the accounts might be greyed out in cases where the symbol is not available for trading in the exchange that corresponds to that account.

In some cases, you might get a warning when selecting an account that is not greyed out. This might happen when the available pair amount in the selected account is lower than the minimum you can create an order on in the exchange.

In this step you will be asked to provide the general trade details:

To modify one of the parameters in this screen simply tap on the corresponding row. Below you will find a description of each of the different parameters you will find in this screen.

New Amount - By default, when this screen first opens the New Amount section will be opened. The Net Amount is the amount that will be used to create the trade's entry targets. The selected amount will be divided between the pending entry targets according to the amount percentages for each target.

By default, the New Amount initial default value will correspond to the default Amount per Trade parameter from the selected client's trading configuration. In some cases, the exact value from the configuration might correspond to a quantity that is invalid in the exchange. In those cases, the value will be modified slightly to make the corresponding quantity valid.

You will be able to change the trade's new amount either by entering the exact amount or by specifying a percentage of the client's available amount. To toggle between an exact amount and a percentage just tap on the corresponding value.

Please remember to enter an amount between the minimum and maximum that is listed in the text below the slider.

For more information about the Amount per Trade trading configuration that will determine the default amount that will be set for every new trade you create, please visit this article.

Existing Amount - If you have existing coins from the trade's symbol, you will have the option to select an existing amount to use in the trade. The existing amount selected for the trade will be immediately divided between the pending take-profit targets. The selected existing amount will be displayed in the order page in a separate sub-section under the Entries section.

Similar to the New Amount, you will be able to change the trade's new amount either by entering the exact amount or by specifying a percentage of the client's available amount. To toggle between an exact amount and a percentage just tap on the corresponding value.

Leverage - This option will only be visible when creating a trade in an exchange that offers leverage.

The leverage section will allow you to choose the leverage type between Isolated and Cross leverage, and to choose the leverage value.

Similar to the trade new amount, this value will be determined according to the default value from the account's trading configuration.

Long/Short - This option will only be visible when creating a trade in an exchange that offers leverage.

The Long/Short section will allow you to choose the trade position type between long and short.

Trade Type - This section will let you choose the trade type between a regular trade and a breakout trade.

Cancel on First Target Reached - This option will determine whether or not the trade will close if the first take-profit target is reached before any of the entry targets are reached.

This value will be populated by default according to the value set configured in the account's trading configuration. For more information about this parameter visit this article.

On the orders page, you will be able to choose the order prices and amounts. By default, when you open the Orders tab some of the sections might be empty, depending on if the trade was created using the Free Text method and if the client's trading configuration included a default step.

Quick Setup

The quick setup functionality will allow you to quickly fill in entry and take-profit orders by selecting the number of targets, the prices zone and the strategy.

To add targets using the Quick Setup functionality, start by clicking the Quick Setup button when the target section is empty, or click the Lightning icon if targets were already added.

The process for adding targets using Quick Setup is identical for both entry and take-profit targets, so for the purposes of this tutorial we will demonstrate quick setup for entry targets.

After clicking the Quick Setup button, the following screen will be loaded:

On the top of the screen, you will be able to choose the strategy, number of targets and price range for the targets. On the bottom half of the screen, you will see a preview of what the targets will look like before applying them to the actual trade.

Entry/Take-Profit Strategy - This parameter will let you choose the strategy that will be used to create the entry or take-profit targets. For more information about strategies, visit the following links:

By default, the strategy will be selected based on the client configuration.

Number of Targets - This parameter will let you choose the number of targets that will be created in the selected price range.

Price Range - This parameter will define the price range for the targets. When choosing a price range, the selected number of targets will be spread in the price range such that one target will be placed at the top of the price range, one target will be placed at the bottom of the price range, and the rest of will be spread in the price range with equal distances between them.

The app currently offers two method to insert a price range. The first one can be accessed by clicking either the left (minimum) or right (maximum) values in the price range. Clicking these values will open a keyboard which will allow you to manually input a price.

The second method can be accessed by clicking the arrows icon next to the Price Range text.

Clicking this icon will open two scroll bars that will allow you to scroll prices until you reach your desired minimum and maximum prices.

Once you are done changing the quick setup parameters to your liking, click the Build Orders button on the bottom to apply the targets to the trade.

Add Target

To add a target, click on one of the plus button in one of the Entry, Take-Profit or Stop sections. The added targets will always have the current price applied and a ratio of 0. You will need to manually edit the added targets to make them valid.

Edit Target

To edit a target, click on the input field and type in your desired value.

In the case of target prices, the app currently offers two method to change a target price. The first one can be accessed by clicking the price input field and manually inserting a price.

The second method can be accessed by clicking the arrows icon next to the price input.

Delete Target

To delete a target, simply click on the X button on the right of the target you wish you delete.

Step 5 - Choose Trailing Configuration

In this section you will be able to select the trailing configuration, including trailing entry, trailing take-profit and trailing stop.

Trailing Entry - To edit the trade's trailing entry configuration, simply click on the Trailing Entry row and proceed to select your desired value.

For more information about the trailing entry trade configuration visit this article.

Trailing Take-Profit - To edit the trade's trailing take-profit configuration, simply click on the Trailing Entry row and proceed to select your desired value.

For more information about the trailing stop-loss configuration visit this article.

Step 5 - Resolve Issues

If the trade is invalid, you will see a warning on the bottom of the screen that there are issues that need to be resolved before the trade can be created. Proceed to click the Show Issues button to view the current list of warning that need to be resolved.

In the above example, the sum of the Entry targets does not sum to 100% and as you can see a warning is displayed that 1 unresolved issue is pending. After clicking the Show Issues button in this example, the warning will be displayed.

Since the issue where the sum of the targets does not equal 100% is very common, we added a quick way to resolve the issue for your convenience. Clicking the resolve button for this issue will redistribute the ratios according to the original ratio between the targets such that the sum of targets will be 100% and valid. After clicking the resolve button and confirming the change, the trade in the above example will look as follows:

As you can see, the entry target ratios were modified so their sum now equals 100%. In addition, the ratio between the targets was maintained with the second entry target twice as big as the first entry target.

Step 5 - Confirm Trade

Once you're done filling in all the trade details and solve all the warnings, the Confirm button should be visible on the bottom of the screen.

Click the Confirm button to create the trade. If the trade is successfully created, you will receive a notification that the trade was created and you will be redirected to the Trades section where the new trade should be visible.
