Preview for SL and TP
For my trades I usually have a fixed Stop Loss and Take Profit.
It would be great to see - before I place my trade - where my entry needs to be so that my SL and TP (or TPs) make sense.
Attached I have a picture how this looks like on another platform.
E.g. when I move my mouse over the Buy Market button I see where my entry, my SL and my TP would be (depending on what I selected in the Exit Strategy). These lines change with the movement of the market and I can click the button as soon as everything fits for me. No more tick counting would be necessary.
I don´t always place a market order, why I would also need this function if I want to place a Limit order. The suggestion would be to implement this to the Buy Limit and Sell Limit function that appears when I right click my mouse in the chart. Currently only one line appears where my entry would be. If there could also appear my preset SL and TP this would be great. I could place the limit order at a random price and shift it (together with the SL and TP) to the price it would make sense.
This would be an extremely helpful fuction for a faster entry decision without anymore tick counting.

As a new user to Atas, having used Trading View for a while, there are a number of gaps in UX in my opinion; the biggest one is trade management. I was about to purchase another prop account, which would involve changing firms as Atas X doesn’t have the ability to connect to Ninja/Tradovate yet, and didn’t want to have to use multiple platforms. Luckily, I was smart enough to test the actual trade placement/management on replay before I made this mistake; I’m going to have to deal with 2 platforms which isn’t ideal.
Key features that TV has incorporated making their UX of trade management far superior:
Option for SL /TP settings in $ as currently just Ticks, % or price
Projected orders on chart prior to them being placed; market, limit and stop, including TP & SL, which allows you to correctly manage risk and contract size quickly. You can prepare on chart and then confirm when you’re ready rather than having to work this out manually which isn’t favourable for scalping/day trading.
Ability to change the contract size on the chart instead of having to cancel and manually do it in the trading panel. In TV you can just click on the contract number of the projected or pending order on the chart and change this. With TP/SL projected prior to an order being placed or filled and showing $, this means you can set/drag where on the chart you want SL & TP and alter the number of contracts to manage exactly how much you are risking for the position you want to take.
Position drawings to be converted into order settings; again in TV you can use the Long & Short drawings to help automate a lot of this. You can draw the position you’re eyeing up and with a simple click of a button it will copy over the important details like tick/price placement for SL & TP and even the risk value ie I only want to risk $500 for this drawn position so it will populate how many contracts gets you the closest to $500 for that exact entry and exit position you’ve marked out.
That last one would just be icing on the cake, but the others I think you’ll find are necessities that will be a big block for a lot of retail traders, whom I imagine are a rapidly growing portion of your customer base for your platform that you’ll want to cater to, which is otherwise amazing so far from what I’ve tested the past few weeks.

Agree, this function could be very useful, so you instantly see your TP SL Price before enter a Trade.
Thumbs UP!

Yes, but in my opinion it would be much easier if you simply add a limit order (with trading from chart function) and then drag a SL and TP from it (like from open positions). This functionality should already exist and be easy to implement.
Or even better: simply place multiple limit/stop orders on the chart and connect them which each other (see quantower).

Show Profit / Loss before opening an Order
Currently tradingview does this really well and no other platform seems to do it. I would like to see that when I have the trade panel open that on the chart it shows the potential entry position and the ability to drag potential TP and SL positions before entering so that I can understand my risk.
Functionality:
User opens up the trading panel, when they select buy or sell then the market order position is displayed on the charts.
The user can then drag a TP to their desired TP location and be displayed the TP amount in $.
The user can then drag a SL to their desired SL location and be displayed the SL amount in $.
When they click the buy / sell button next to the order the position opens.
If they select a limit order they can drag the limit order to the desired price and the same functionality as above for the TP and SL
If they select Stops the same can happen.
Personally this is really useful to understanding the risk applied to my entry before entering so that I can build my position size how I want.
Video attach shows it perfectly.

Preview SL and TP when you put limit order if strategy is active
Is it possible to display the Take Profit (TP) and Stop Loss (SL) set by the exit strategy graphically on the chart when creating a Limit Order?
Additionally, I would like the ability to adjust these with the mouse before executing the Limit Order.
This would be very helpful when scalping in the heatmap, as there is often not enough time to adjust them after execution.

That would be great, but as optional for the user.

Trading on Chart - Show Potential TP/SL on Chart
When activating the “Trading on Chart” feature it would be nice if there is a Bracket to visualize the possible SL / TP directly on Chart before enter a Trade. So you can see instantly if your Risk Management is on spot or if you have to adjust the Size.
Additionally where could be a Option to Disable it completely (or maybe create a Indicator which Displays the Actual TP / SL Management when Trade on Chart is Active)
