Hi there,

New to Ctrader and can't figure out how to place a trade by placing my stop loss at the bottom of previous candle and risking 1% of total account. Is there a direct button available to place trades based on percentage of account for risk rather than pips? Anyone know the fastest way to place trade doing this with say 1% risk to 1.5% reward?

Also don't seem to be able to keep scrolling to the right on the chart so that the current candle is in the middle of the chart.

Any help greatly appreciated, thanks.

Also is there a way to change the appearance of the cursor to a full screen crosshair without having to switch to the crosshair tool? Seems very tricky to pinpoint the location of particular candles with the arrow, cheers.

There is no one click way to do this. You need to play around with the volume/quantity until you get the desired %

Also don't seem to be able to keep scrolling to the right on the chart so that the current candle is in the middle of the chart.

Just drag the time counter to the left

No there is no such option
