Trigger orders on Digital Surge allow you to automatically execute trades when a certain price is reached. While these can be created from the trigger order section, the most effective way to manage them is directly from the advanced chart.
This article explains how to use the advanced TradingView chart to view, adjust, and understand your trigger orders in context.
Understanding Chart Modes: Buy vs Sell
Before diving into trigger order management, it’s important to understand that Digital Surge separates Buy and Sell views:
When in Buy mode, you'll see the buy price and the buy price chart.
When in Sell mode, you'll see the sell price and the sell price chart.
This distinction is crucial—if you're placing or managing a sell trigger order, make sure you're toggled to Sell mode so you’re viewing the correct price and chart data.
Chart Types: Simple vs Advanced
Digital Surge offers two types of charts, which can be toggled by the chart icon (top right corner of the charts).
Simple Chart: A basic line graph showing a straightforward price trend.
Advanced Chart: A powerful TradingView candlestick chart that lets you visualize price movements in more detail and interact directly with your trigger orders.
For managing trigger orders, the Advanced Chart is essential.
Managing Trigger Orders in the Advanced Chart
Here’s how you can effectively manage your trigger orders using the advanced chart:
1. Enable Trigger Order Display
To view your trigger orders on the chart, you need to enable this option within the chart settings. Once enabled, your active trigger orders will appear as visual markers directly on the chart.
2. Edit Orders Directly
You can edit any visible trigger order directly on the chart by simply double-clicking the order marker. This brings up the edit window, allowing you to change your trigger price, amount, or cancel the order—all without leaving the chart view.
3. Monitor Price vs. Trigger
The advanced chart provides candlestick data with price wicks that show the full range of market movement during each candle. This is particularly useful because trigger orders can be activated even if a price is only briefly hit. For example, if your sell trigger was at $100 and you only see $101 on the buy chart, it’s likely because you were in Buy mode. Switching to Sell mode reveals the sell price chart.
Pro Tips
Toggle Between Buy/Sell Views: Always make sure you’re in the correct chart mode (Buy or Sell) based on the type of trigger order you’re managing.
Use the Chart to Adjust Strategy: The ability to edit on-chart allows you to respond to changing market conditions quickly—edit your order without needing to access the trigger order section
Get the Full Picture: Use the candlestick view to understand how briefly or decisively a price level was hit, which may explain why your trigger activated even if the main body of the candle didn’t close at that price.
Final Notes
Managing trigger orders via the advanced chart gives you full control and visibility, all in one place. Whether you're adjusting your strategy mid-trade or just reviewing your setup, the chart’s integration with your orders makes the process intuitive and powerful.
If you're not seeing your orders or are unsure why one triggered, always double-check that you’re in the correct mode (buy/sell) and that trigger display is enabled.
