Why Use Order Presets?
Order Presets are more than just time-savers—they’re precision instruments for disciplined trading. By predefining your most-used order setups, you maintain consistency across trades while reacting faster to market movements.
1. Accelerate Order Placement
Gone are the days of manually entering price, quantity, stop-loss, take-profit, and time-in-force settings every time you trade. With a saved preset, all parameters populate automatically with a single click. This reduces latency in execution—critical when trading volatile assets like crypto or during major economic news releases.
Imagine spotting a breakout pattern on a chart: instead of navigating multiple menus, you apply your “Breakout Long” preset and enter the market in seconds.
2. Seamlessly Switch Between Strategies
Professional traders often employ multiple strategies—scalping, swing trading, or mean reversion—each requiring different order structures. Order Presets allow you to switch between these approaches instantly.
For example:
- Apply your “Scalp Trade” preset with tight take-profit levels.
- Switch to “Swing Long” with wider brackets and extended validity.
This flexibility supports adaptive trading without compromising speed or accuracy.
3. Execute Pending Orders Without Confirmation
One of the most powerful aspects of Order Presets is the ability to place pending orders directly from the chart using hotkeys (Shift+B for buy, Shift+S for sell) or chart-based Buy/Sell buttons—no confirmation dialog required.
These pending orders can include:
- Limit or stop orders
- Bracket orders (with pre-set profit target and stop-loss)
- Relative pricing (e.g., "5 ticks above ask")
This functionality is ideal for algorithmic traders and those using technical levels for automated-like execution—even without coding.
How to Create an Order Preset
Setting up an Order Preset is intuitive and takes less than a minute. Follow these steps:
- Open the Order Ticket: Navigate to the order entry panel on your TradingView chart.
Configure Your Parameters:
- Choose order type (market, limit, stop, etc.)
- Set price (for pending orders, use relative values like “+3 ticks”)
- Define bracket orders: enable take-profit and/or stop-loss with relative prices or percentages
- Select Time in Force (e.g., Good 'Til Canceled, Immediate or Cancel)
- Click the Order Presets button at the top of the order ticket.
- Select "Save order preset…"
- Give your preset a clear name (e.g., “Momentum Long w/ 2% TP”)
- Review the summary and click Save
You can now reuse this configuration across sessions—even after logging out.
Applying Presets in Real-Time Trading
Once saved, your presets appear in the dropdown menu within the Order Ticket. Simply select one to auto-fill all associated settings. If a preset contains parameters incompatible with the current trading symbol (e.g., tick size differences), TradingView will notify you and suggest adjustments.
Additionally, if you have at least one preset saved, a preset selector appears next to the Buy/Sell buttons on your chart. After selecting a preset, the button displays its name (e.g., “Scalp In”), and hovering over it shows a tooltip with full details—price offset, bracket levels, order type—so you always know what you're executing.

Key Benefits for Different Trader Types
Day Traders
Speed is paramount. Use presets to lock in standard position sizes, risk-reward ratios, and entry types—so you stay focused on price action rather than order entry.
Swing Traders
Save complex bracket orders with long-term targets and trailing stops. Reapply them consistently across similar setups.
Crypto Traders
Given cryptocurrency volatility, quick reactions matter. Use presets to enter during sharp dips or breakouts with predefined risk controls.
Algorithmic-Inspired Manual Traders
Replicate systematic strategies manually by saving rule-based order templates—perfect for traders who follow set entry/exit logic without automated bots.
