Everything in Bliks Trade Manager

Built for news traders on gold and majors

Execution at market speed, risk discipline that cannot be skipped, management that follows structure, a voice assistant that reports every result, a journal that proves the edge, and a copy-trading marketplace. Every feature is included in the free trial.

Bliks Trade Manager main window with open trades, the chart and the Order Builder

The chart on the left, the Order Builder always on the right, the news and risk cards beside it and one tab strip below.

A workspace built around the trade

Order Builder always on screen

SELL, BUY and the full-width BUY & SELL button sit on the right of the chart and are never hidden behind a side bar. A one-line hint under the fields says whether the order is within your limits before you press anything.

Chart first

The chart takes the left of the window, with the price scale on its right in English and in Arabic. One tab strip under it holds Positions, Pending Orders, Trade History, Journal, News, Copy and the Activity Log.

News card with Arm BUY & SELL

The next high-impact news with a live countdown, and an Arm BUY & SELL on this event button right on the main window. The card steps aside when no high-impact event is coming.

Alerts that stay out of the way

Alerts get their own row above the tabs, each with an x button, so Close all, Hedge exposure and the other action buttons are never pushed out of view. A dismissed alert stays in the Activity Log, and risk-lock alerts cannot be dismissed.

Dark and light themes

Two palettes tuned for long sessions: Midnight Navy and Cloud, with soft teal and coral candles and solid BUY and SELL buttons. IBM Plex Sans and IBM Plex Mono are bundled with the app, so every PC shows the same crisp type, and no text is ever smaller than 12 px.

Arabic done properly

The whole interface is available in Arabic, with IBM Plex Sans Arabic and a choice of other bundled Arabic fonts. The chart stays on the left and the Order Builder on the right, and numbers inside Arabic sentences keep their order.

Fits short screens

On short windows the right column switches to a compact layout, so SELL, BUY and BUY & SELL stay visible on 720p and 768p screens.

Execution

Batch orders

Market, Limit and Stop batches, BUY & SELL straddles around the live price, spacing in points, one-click mode with a visible warning.

Review before it goes out

Every order opens a review sheet that shows exactly what will be sent before anything goes out. One-click mode is off by default, and when you switch it on a warning strip stays visible under the Order Builder.

Calendar-armed straddles

Pick an event in the calendar: Bliks places the BUY & SELL stop batch seconds before the release, OCO cancels the other side when one fills, untriggered orders expire.

OCO and expiry

Any BUY & SELL batch can be one-cancels-the-other, and pending orders can expire after a chosen time.

Visual position setup

Long or short setup drawn on the chart: entry, stop and target with risk and reward zones, sizing by lots or risk, R:R lock, three draggable partial targets. Bliks tells you when it is placed, activated or canceled.

Emergency flatten

One system-wide hotkey closes everything and deletes every pending order, even when Bliks is not the active window.

Trade management

Trade lines on the chart

Every open trade carries its entry, take profit and stop loss on the chart. Drag a level to change it, and use the pills on the line: BE moves the stop to break-even, PPC closes part of the trade, and the close pill closes it.

PPC: partial profit close

While a trade is in profit and has enough volume to split, PPC lets you close part of it: type the lots, or tap 25%, 50% or 75%. The rest stays open. Before it sends anything, Bliks warns about a hedge it would leave unbalanced, a margin level below 150%, and a thin cushion if your broker cuts leverage to 1:100.

Manage buttons on every row

Each row in Positions has Secure (stop to break-even), Take part (partial close) and Close. Right-click a row for Close selected, partial close, move SL to break-even and a journal note.

Close Mode menu

One menu for Close All, Buy, Sell, Profitable and Losing Positions. An entry appears only when there is something for it to close.

Cancel buttons on pending orders

A Cancel button on every pending order, plus Cancel Sell, Cancel Buy and Cancel All above the list.

Break-even and trailing

Automatic break-even after a chosen profit, trailing by points, behind the last swing low/high or behind the previous candle.

Partial targets

Up to three partial closes as a percentage of the way to the target, with shares that always add up to 100%.

Time rules

Close everything at a chosen server time, before the weekend, or minutes before high-impact news for the symbols concerned.

Baskets

Close all positions of a symbol at a total profit target or loss limit.

Hedge exposure

One button opens the opposite market order for the net volume of a symbol, after you confirm. It is disabled while there is no net exposure.

Risk guardrails

Risk limits card

Day P/L, open risk, trades today and margin level sit next to your account figures, in a ring that turns amber and red as you approach a limit. With the guardrails off the card turns grey and says it is not active, never a green check.

Per-trade and open-risk caps

Every order path (builder, setups, copied trades) is checked against your maximum risk per trade and total open risk, as a share of equity.

Daily loss lock

When the daily loss limit or the maximum number of trades is hit, new orders are blocked for the rest of the broker day; an override needs a typed word, and you can switch the override off for a hard stop.

Prop-firm mode

Daily and total drawdown tracked the way prop firms measure them, with alerts at 50% and 80% of the limits and a distance-to-breach read-out.

Spread guard

Block or warn when the spread exceeds your per-symbol limit, which on gold at news time is the difference between a fill and a disaster.

Weekly and monthly loss limits

Set a weekly and a monthly loss limit in percent or money, counted from the broker's own midnight. Bliks warns you by voice and on screen when one is reached, and you choose what else happens.

Critical-equity alert

An alert, with a spoken warning, when the margin level falls to the threshold you choose (150% by default), with an action of your choice.

Account-aware setup checks

A stop that would lose your equity is blocked before the order goes out; risk above 5% of equity asks for confirmation.

Stop-loss change warnings

Adding, moving or removing a stop loss is checked against your per-trade limit, open-risk limit, the room left before the daily loss limit, prop-firm drawdown and the auto-hedge trigger. If one is broken you must accept a warning, even in one-click mode.

Close guard

Closing one leg of a hedge, or closing while margin is thin, asks first and offers Close anyway. Bliks warns, you decide.

Automatic hedge (optional)

Off by default. When the floating loss of your unprotected positions reaches the percentage you set, Bliks opens the opposite market order for the same volume on each losing symbol. The loss is locked, not closed. Bliks checks your free margin first and announces the result. A hedge stops a loss from growing, it does not remove it, and some brokers charge margin on both sides.

What happens when a limit is reached

Each loss limit, the prop-firm limits and the critical margin level has an action you choose: warn, block new orders, open a hedge, close the losing positions or close everything, with a fallback if it fails. It runs once per period and never while the market is closed.

SL/TP privacy (optional)

Keep your SL and TP away from the broker

In Settings > Risk > Bliks-held stop loss / take profit, switch off Allow Broker / Liquidity Provider to know your SL/TP positions. Orders then go to MetaTrader without SL or TP. Bliks keeps the levels (saved to disk), shows them everywhere as usual and closes the position at market when the price crosses a level.

Works only while Bliks and the terminal are running

Bliks checks the price about three times a second, but only while it is running on a PC that is awake, with the internet and MetaTrader 5 connected, AutoTrading on and the trade server online. If any of these fails, nothing protects the trade. A close can also be rejected or delayed, and requotes, gaps and slippage can fill you away from your level.

Warnings at every step

Switching it off asks you to confirm and lists these risks. While Bliks holds stops, the app bar shows Stops held by Bliks, and it turns red and reads Stops NOT watched, with an on-screen error and a sound, whenever Bliks cannot act. Closing Bliks asks whether to send the stops to the broker first.

On by default, and the safer choice

With the switch on, SL and TP go to MetaTrader and the broker's server executes them even if Bliks is closed. Hedging accounts only: a netting account keeps broker-side stops. Switching it on again hands every held stop back to the broker.

Gap guard

If Bliks was closed, offline or asleep and the price jumped far past a stop it holds, Bliks does not close at once. It shows what you planned to lose against what closing now would lose and lets you close, keep the trade open or decide later.

Voice assistant and alerts

Spoken results

Take profit, stop loss, partial targets, closed trades and price-line alerts are spoken in plain sentences the moment they happen, in friendly or brief wording.

Amounts MetaTrader booked

The profit or loss you hear is read from MetaTrader's own deals, including swap and commission, so it matches the Trade history tab to the cent.

17 spoken alert types

Price reached, take profit, stop loss, setup placed, activated and canceled, partial targets, closed trades, news reminders, market open, close and closing soon, connection, MetaTrader and AutoTrading status, account at risk and loss limits.

Alerts bell

The bell opens a list of the latest warnings and errors with an unread dot. Click one to jump to it in the Activity tab, where the line is highlighted. Dangerous alerts stay on screen as tinted cards and escalate until you acknowledge them.

Instant and offline

The voice is built into Bliks: nothing is generated or downloaded while you trade, so it starts instantly and stays light on modest PCs.

Sounds per event

Every event also has its own sound effect, and a toast with the same message. Choose what speaks, what plays and what stays silent.

Five levels, tinted cards, escalation

Info, success, warning, error and critical alerts are tinted cards. Errors and critical alerts stay until dismissed; if nobody acknowledges one it pulses after 10 seconds and repeats its sound every minute.
