Your First Trade

Before You Start

Before executing your first trade, make sure you have:

• A C Logic Factory account (see Account Setup)

Option 1: Manual Trading with Setups

Follow setups from your subscribed groups and execute them manually:

Step 1: Subscribe to a Group

1. Go to Setup Center
2. Browse available groups and review their performance
3. Subscribe to a group that matches your trading style

Step 2: Receive a Setup

When a leader publishes a setup, you'll receive a notification. Each setup includes:

• Currency pair or instrument
• Direction (Buy/Sell)
• Entry price or zone
• Stop Loss (SL) level
• Take Profit (TP) levels (usually TP1, TP2, TP3)
• Optional analysis or reasoning

Step 3: Execute the Trade

1. Open your MT5 platform
2. Navigate to the specified currency pair
3. Open a new order with the setup's parameters
4. Set your position size based on your risk management rules
5. Place the trade

Option 2: Automated Trading with Commando AT

For hands-free execution, use our Commando AT tool:

4. Setups from subscribed groups will execute automatically

Risk Management Tips

• Never risk more than 1-2% of your account per trade
• Always use a stop loss
• Don't overtrade - quality over quantity
• Keep a trading journal to track your progress
• Start small and scale up as you gain confidence

After Your Trade

Monitor your trade's progress. Leaders often update setups with:

• Stop loss adjustments (moving to breakeven)
• Partial close recommendations at TP levels
• Early exit signals if market conditions change
