0:35Connected. Your new accounts open in this drawer, one card each. Start with the type: Funded, Evaluation, Approved or Broken.
0:45Then the rules your firm gave you: the goal, the max drawdown and its type, the daily loss limit and the consistency. The ring fills as you go.
0:56Trade with Lucid and Tradeify too? Add their logins the same way, and their accounts join the same drawer.
1:04Fill them in and click Finish. All set: every account is in the Accounts widget, with its type, its floor and its goal.
1:13Now the safety net. In the Menu, open the Risk Manager and create a rule: the funded accounts, a max daily loss, a profit target and a cap on contracts.
1:24Activate it, and the rule locks until the session ends. No switching it off in the heat of the moment.
1:30Back on the chart, pick the account in Chart Trading: the active rule shows in the panel, and the panic button sits on the chart. Your desk is ready.
1:40That's your desk in EliteXCharts: the login, the accounts, their rules and a risk lock, in five minutes.
