Currently EFX Lite has no functionality to add a Winpoint or Stoppoint after a trade has been opened

"Balance to open" is the lot size used to open a trade with the default being set to 0.01 translated into amount.

It’s a quick way to choose direction:

Pick EUR = go Long/Buy EURUSD (buy the base currency)

Pick USD = go Short/Sell EURUSD (sell the base currency)

A Win Point is the profit level where your trade will close automatically.

Example: If you set a Win Point of $5, the trade will close once your profit reaches about $5.

👉 Note: The trade may not always close at the exact price you set. In fast-moving markets, it can close a little higher or lower (this is called slippage).

A Stop Point is the loss level where your trade will close automatically to limit your losses.

Example: If you set a Stop Point of $5, the trade will close once your loss reaches about $5.

👉 Note: The trade may not always close at the exact price you set. In fast-moving markets, it can close at the next available price (slippage).
