NUKBORD / PRODUCT MANUAL12 practical guides

A clear way into the workstation

Know your tools.
Make them yours.

Start with an account, build your workspace, prepare deliberately and keep the record. Follow practical instructions for the controls in front of you.

Published manual introduction

The guides below are the product manual. An optional published introduction can add context; it does not replace the search, instructions or account help.

01 / Find your next task

Choose a job.

Each guide includes preparation, ordered steps, checks and the limits that matter.

02 / Use the workstation

Filter instruments and keep a screen

Choose an instrument universe, filter a wide table and inspect its actual source values. Save a useful screen without turning it into an automated trading instruction.

A closer look

All markets and Synthetic FX desk define the pictured universe. Choose a market or an account list before filtering. The table keeps complete instrument names, including the .pro suffix in these fictional symbols; a similar name on another source is not interchangeable.

01

Read a deliberate result set

  1. Choose the universe

    Select the market or watchlist and read any availability or size feedback. A screen on one account/list is not the same screen on another source.

  2. Set filters, then refresh

    Use compact value filters, optional Tide selectors, column presets, sorting and search. Changed filters retain the previous observation until explicit Refresh; cancelling a refresh keeps the original result. Read the definition and observation identities separately.

  3. Inspect an instrument

    Use Instrument values to examine the source values behind a row. A chart handoff retains the exact source/account context. Unsupported fundamentals, exchange metadata and session calendars stay unavailable.

Check your work

You know which universe, filters and source observations produced the rows in view.

02

Save and revisit an edition

  1. Keep the screen

    Use New screen and a name when starting a separate definition; Save screen keeps the definition you reviewed. Read save or conflict feedback. Saving is separate from refreshing observations.

  2. Review history

    History, monitoring & storage contains saved observations and storage controls. Read original observation identity and date when revisiting a result.

  3. Manage monitoring explicitly

    A monitor uses an unchanged saved edition: Add paused monitor, Review and resume, then Confirm and start monitoring. Pause or remove explicitly. Later screen edits do not silently replace its saved plan; monitoring stops when the app is no longer running.

Check your work

A saved definition, original observation and running app-open monitor are identifiable as different things.

03 / Keep the definition handy

ChartsPrepare and trade

One, four or eight chart panes side by side, each with its own drawing tools and a pan and zoom control puck.

  • Lay the deck out as one, four or eight panes and resize the dividers between them
  • Each pane keeps its own drawing toolbar beside the chart
  • Pan and zoom with the control puck or the mouse
  • Charts stay open while you switch the side rails, so your view does not reset

The chart deck is the centre of the workstation. Use one large chart, or split the deck into four or eight panes when you want several instruments or timeframes in view at once.

Every pane has its own column of drawing tools, so choosing a tool on one chart never changes another. Drawings are saved with the account and instrument, and come back when you return to that chart.

Entry PadPrepare and trade

Stage an order by dragging entry, stop and target lines on the chart, size it, and inspect the draft before deciding to send.

  • Drag entry, stop-loss and take-profit lines directly on the chart
  • Size the order in lots, as a percentage of the account, or as a money amount
  • In standard mode, review the complete order before sending; Device One-click skips that review card
  • Protection: brackets, multiple targets, trailing stops and moving the stop to entry, each reviewed before it is switched on
  • Trailing stops, stop-to-entry and partial targets run only while the app is open, signed in and connected

The Entry Pad turns the chart into the order ticket. Place the entry, the stop and one or more targets as lines, adjust them by dragging, and the pad shows the size and the amounts at risk as you go.

Staging never sends anything: an order leaves the workstation when you send it. Staged drafts stay in place while you look at other charts, so you can come back to them.

Protection you switch on is reviewed first. After that, the app itself moves a trailing stop or a stop-to-entry, and closes part of the position at each earlier target. It does this only while it is open, signed in and connected. When the app is closed, only the stop-loss and take-profit held by your broker remain.

Read the Entry Pad guide
IndicatorsPrepare and trade

A library of indicators and a Studio for tuning their settings, saving variations and comparing them.

  • Browse, pin and organise indicators in your library
  • Tune inputs, colours, line styles and placement in the Studio
  • Save named variations of the settings you use
  • Compare studies side by side before applying them
  • Charts keep the exact indicator version they were applied with

The Indicators page keeps your studies in one library. Open any of them in the Studio to adjust its inputs and how it is drawn, undo and redo changes, and see before and after.

Applied studies are pinned to an exact version and settings, so editing a study later does not quietly change the charts that already use it.

Read the Indicators guide
ScreenerPrepare and trade

A full-width table of instruments that you filter by value, sort, and save as screens.

  • Compact value filters across the instruments you choose
  • Column presets, sorting and search
  • Save the screens you use again
  • Data your source does not supply is shown as unavailable, not guessed

The Screener lays your instruments out in one wide table. Choose a market or a list, set value filters, pick a column preset, and sort to find what you want to look at next.

It filters by the values you set. It does not produce trade recommendations, and running a screen never places an order.

Read the Screener guide
StrategiesPrepare and trade

Choose ingredients, review the rules, run a deterministic backtest, and replay it bar by bar.

  • Choose ingredients such as candle and chart patterns and pinned indicator versions
  • Review the rules in readable form before anything is tested
  • Run a deterministic backtest on historical price data
  • Replay the result bar by bar and inspect each recorded decision
  • Save revisions and reopen them later

Strategies takes you from ingredients to a tested set of rules: choose what the strategy looks at, review the rules it produces, run a backtest with assumptions you can edit, then step through the result on the chart.

A saved strategy can mark its rule matches on a chart or run as a paper simulation. Neither of those sends real orders.

TickersPrepare and trade

Build named lists of instruments, browse the instrument library, and inspect the instrument you select.

  • List Builder for named lists kept per account
  • Broker symbols are kept exactly as your broker names them
  • Instrument library shown as tiles or rows
  • Analyze and Risk views for the selected instrument
  • Open a saved list beside the charts on either side rail

Tickers is where you organise what you watch. Build named lists in the List Builder, browse the full instrument library, and select any instrument to see it in the inspector.

The inspector's Analyze view summarises the instrument, and its Risk view reads your account to show what a position there would mean, with anything it cannot calculate clearly marked as unavailable. Browsing and editing lists never stages or sends an order.
