Mark Legs Breakeven
Moving a leg's stop to its own entry once it is in profit.
Mark Legs Breakeven moves one leg's stop loss up to that leg's own entry price, so the leg can no longer lose money. It is a real change on the exchange, not a note the bot keeps to itself.

ā¢ Leg 1: 0.002 @ stop $77479.00Every leg of the trade is listed with its own size and its own stop. Legs that are already marked or already closed are tagged as such and shown as plain text ā only a leg you can still act on gets a button.
Leg numbers match the Usage History
Leg 1 here is the same leg as Leg 1 on the
Add To Position panel. Both number legs in
the same order, including closed ones, so the numbering never shifts under you
as a trade progresses.
Each leg has its own stop
A scaled-in trade is not one position with one stop. Each leg keeps the stop it was opened with, so marking Leg 1 breakeven leaves Leg 2 exactly where it was.
That is the point: the first entry, which has the most profit in it, can be made risk-free while a later entry keeps the room it needs.
The price has to have moved first
A leg can only be marked once price is actually beyond that leg's entry ā above it for a Buy, below it for a Sell. Otherwise the request is rejected:
Breakeven price not reachedMoving a stop to entry before price has gone that far would not protect the trade, it would close it ā at the entry price, immediately.
It only goes one way
There is no unmark. Once a leg is breakeven its button is gone and it shows as
(Breakeven) in the list.
This is deliberate: an unmark would move a stop back into losing territory on a trade you had already decided to protect, and that is not a decision worth making one tap away.
What happens on the exchange
Marking a leg rebuilds the stop orders for every open leg ā the marked one at its entry, all the others at the stops they already had. That is how the exchange represents per-leg stops on a single position.
All or nothing
Every leg's rebuild is attempted even if one fails, so as many legs as possible end up protected. But if any leg fails to rebuild, the leg is not recorded as breakeven ā the bot will not claim a protection it could not fully verify.
If a mark reports failure, re-open the panel and check the stops before assuming anything moved.
Marking frees risk budget
A leg that cannot lose is no longer spending the trade's risk. Marking one gives its ceiling room back to Add To Position, which is the one and only way used quantity is ever returned.
Note that it frees a lot of quantity room but only that leg's much smaller dollar risk, so the budget line will usually move far less than the quantity line does.
