No. It does not provide entry signals, recommendations or trade calls.
Yes, subject to your broker, account permissions and MQL5 licence setup. The demo has separate restrictions.

Trading & Orders
10 questions
TradeOps supports market orders plus Buy Limit, Sell Limit, Buy Stop and Sell Stop pending orders. It also supports linked OCO pending-order pairs.
It lets you set entry, stop loss and take profit directly on the chart before placing the order.
Yes. Entry, stop, target, risk and related values update as the chart levels are moved.
Yes. A planned RR setup can reverse between buy and sell when the stop or target is dragged through the entry. That behaviour is for the setup, not for reversing an already-open position.
Yes. The RR tool includes separate TP and SL lock controls.
You can use a manual lot size or automatic sizing. Automatic sizing can be based on balance, equity, free margin, a fixed currency risk amount or a custom account base.
OCO means One Cancels the Other. TradeOps links two pending orders so the remaining order can be cancelled when the other side triggers.
TradeOps can store the OCO link in the broker order comment so the relationship can survive a terminal or PC move when the broker preserves that comment.
Yes. Hotkeys can be enabled for quick Buy, Sell, Place, Close All, RR toggle, pending-order cancellation and panel minimise/restore actions.
Yes. TradeOps includes a screenshot control and can save screenshots to a configured folder inside the MT5 files area.

Maximum risk %, minimum R:R, maximum spread, trades per day, maximum open trades, maximum daily loss %, daily profit target, minimum stop-loss distance and maximum losing trades per day.

Management & Automation
14 questions
Yes. TradeOps includes SL-to-Break-Even, Trailing Stop, partial TP/SL, close controls and optional Grid management.

Hedging uses its own start distance, spacing, lot-size progression and basket profit target to manage opposing exposure according to the settings you choose.
No. Average-In and Hedging are optional. The rest of TradeOps works without enabling them.
