Position Manager
How Position Manager in Lazy Trader binds one chart button to one open position, shows the planned exit structure, and lets you modify levels, stop, and volumes directly on the chart.
Position Manager appears after a trade is already open and creates a separate chart button for each active position inside the current trade plan. The button shows both the plan name and the model name, so even when several trades are open at once you can still see exactly which button belongs to which position.
That one-to-one mapping matters. One button corresponds to one open position under one selected plan and one specific model. It is not a generic management overlay; it is a direct control point for the exact trade that is already running inside the scenario.
Because of that, position handling stays inside the same workflow instead of being pushed into a separate manual routine. The trader keeps the scenario context, the model identity, and the live management controls in one place.
What the manager shows immediately
- Which levels will be used for partial exits and what volume is assigned to each one.
- Where breakeven is scheduled to trigger and which exact level the stop will be moved to.
- Where the current stop-loss is located.
- What profit or loss each level would produce if price reaches it.
Familiar logic for Magic Entry users
Levels can be moved directly on the chart, so the interaction will feel familiar if you have already worked with Magic Entry.
Stop-loss and take-profit levels can also be dragged freely without switching into a different screen.
The workflow stays visual: you do not manage the trade through an abstract parameter table first, but through the same levels you can already see on the chart.
What you can change while the trade is live
- Add new levels directly into the open position if the remaining volume allows it.
- Edit level volumes manually through input fields and let the remaining parameters adjust automatically.
- Reposition take-profit levels and breakeven transitions as the management scenario evolves.
- Push the stop-loss farther away or remove it entirely if that is part of the chosen trade-management scenario.
What this page describes at the product level
This is not a new entry engine and not a new trade-detection logic. The page only explains how an already open position is visualized and managed inside Lazy Trader.
If Base config defines the shared risk and management rules for a model, Position Manager becomes the live control layer for one concrete open position operating inside those rules.
Other Lazy Trader sections
Config Mode and Lazy Trader 3 optimization
Config Mode turns dozens of Lazy Trader settings into controlled presets that can be iterated in Strategy Tester and then saved back into working plan cfg files.
Balanced Price Range (BPR)
BPR is the imbalance-compression model: it works with the overlap between opposite inefficiencies and lets you choose how deep into that balance zone entry should happen.
Moving Averages model
The MA model does more than “touch the fast average”: it also validates the nearest eligible fractal to the left before opening.
Classic Structure Reversal
Classic Reversal becomes relevant only when structure itself turns; it is not just a pullback model with a different stop.
Classic Structure via primary liquidity sweep
This variation opens on the first important structural violation and reads it as a sweep rather than as a full structural reversal.
Classic Structure Trend
Classic Trend participates on a pullback inside the active structure without requiring the structure direction itself to flip.
Classic Structure family
Classic Structure is the shared logic layer for three related pages: trend continuation, primary liquidity sweep, and reversal structure.
Larry-Williams model
Larry-Williams works with range extremes and supports both direct breakout continuation and return-entry logic after a raid back into the range.
Box-Fractal model
Box-Fractal uses a confirmed fractal range as the structural base for entry and stop placement rather than entering at the first raw extremum.
START AFTER menu
Start After does not pick the side of the trade; it defines what must happen before the plan is allowed to begin evaluating entries at all.
DIRECTION menu
Direction defines whether the plan is fixed long-only, fixed short-only, or dynamically biased through box, MA, or swing logic.
Automatic direction detection
This section explains the combined logic of Direction plus Start After, which is where many users actually shape the market bias of the plan.
TIME menu
TIME is where session logic lives: windows, overnights, weekday permissions, daily close, Friday close, and broker-specific timing constraints.
END AT menu
END AT defines when the plan stops looking for new positions, which is different from instantly flattening every already-open trade.
