Not sure what you're going on about?
The “History” panel has the “closing price” and “Pips” columns, so from those you should be able to deduce either the SL or TP from the closing price based on the value in the pips column.
The “Orders” panel as “SL” and “TP” as options. Just right-click to add them in:
Or if you mean the “Active trade window” to the right, they're there too:
Also, if you want to add “suggestions” for the product, how about posting in the “Suggestions” forum? Spotware doesn't come here to this forum looking for user suggestions.

RE: same problem

I have the same issue. My bot outputs an error but keeps on running.
I left it with the ProtectionType parameter since removing it gives warnings.
I would be useful to get more documentation about ProtectionType and how to avoid the crash on the cloud instance.
From playing around with it, this is what I gather on how it works:
- set it to “none” removes all protections
- set it to “relative” means the SL is in PIPs
- setting it to “absolutely” means the SL is a price.
I'm not sure if it affects the Take Profit as well.

RE: in Ctrader i kept 4 pips TP and 4 pips SL but profit is different and loss is different
ruben.as.nogueira said:
Hello,
This is due to broker commission. The broker always charges you a fee for opening a trade and you need to subtract it to the real takeprofit and stoploss monetary value. Once your trade is closed, you can see the amount of commission they charged in the trade history details.
You need to be aware of spread and commissions in trading, that's basically how the broker makes money. The commission increases with bigger positions.
Best Regards,

I think the point is, if you look at the value of the “SL” line on the chart, and the estimated stop loss amount in the open trade window, they are significantly different, despite having the same pips set as the stop loss.
The SL line says 10.45 Euros for 3 pips; the modify position window says 7.45 Euros for 3 pips.
Both those numbers should be relatively the same – there shouldn't be a big difference.
While different brokers charge different commissions, cTrader shouldn't be showing traders two different estimated stop loss values for the same number of pips in two different places. That is very misleading.
if you show the active trade window at the bottom of cTrader, what does it say for “commission” and “swap” columns?

And it makes sense because the first visible bar changes.
What are you hoping or expecting to happen?
