You can now set default Profit Target (PT) and Stop Loss (SL) rules directly from your Settings page — saving time and ensuring consistency across your trades.
This feature automatically applies your preferred PT/SL levels to new and existing trades based on your chosen rule type.
How to Access Default PT/SL Settings
Click on your Profile icon in the top-right corner.
Select Settings.
Go to the PT/SL Settings tab.
From here, you can create and manage all your PT/SL rules.
How to Add a New Rule
Click Add Rule.
Choose your Instrument (e.g., Stocks, Futures, Forex).
Decide if the rule should apply to:
All symbols, or
A specific symbol (type the exact symbol name as shown in TradeZella).
Choose how you want to set your PT and SL (see Rule Calculation types below).
Enter your Profit Target and Stop Loss values.
Example: Profit Target = 50 | Stop Loss = 50 (based on your selected rule type)
You can also set default partial PT and SL from here.
Click Save.
Once saved, any new trades you import will automatically have their PT and SL values set according to the rule you created.
Applying Your Rule to Existing Trades
Once your rule is created:
1. Click the three dots (⋮) beside the rule.
2. Select Apply to Existing Trades.
3. Choose whether to overwrite existing trades that already have PT/SL values:
✅ Checked: Overwrites all trades, including those that already have PT/SL set.
⛔ Unchecked: Applies only to trades that don’t yet have PT/SL values.
This will automatically apply your selected rule to all relevant trades — ensuring consistent profit targets and stop loss levels based on your chosen calculation type.
⏱ Note: It may take a few seconds for changes to reflect. If you don’t see updates immediately, try refreshing your page.
Example
If you set a PnL-based rule with:
Profit Target: $50
Stop Loss: $50
Then for any trade where your entry is $10:
Your profit target will be placed at $60 (+$50 gain).
Your stop loss will be placed at $–40 (–$50 loss).

Pro Tip 💡
If you trade multiple markets, set separate rules for each instrument type (e.g., Futures, Forex, Stocks).
TradeZella will automatically apply the correct PT/SL based on the matching instrument or symbol.
