How to create a template from selected blocks

  4. Add a clear title.

  5. Add an optional description.

  6. Save the template.

Your template will appear under Templates → Your Templates.

Important: right-click on a blank area of the canvas, not directly on a block.

Save the full project as Your Template

  1. Make sure no blocks are selected.

  2. Right-click on a blank space on the canvas.

  3. Click Create Template.

  4. Add a clear title.

  5. Add an optional description.

  6. Save the template.

Use this when you want to reuse a full trading system as a starting point for future projects.

Example template names:

EURUSD Breakout Full System ATR Trailing Stop Management London Session Filter Previous High Breakout Entry

Apply Your Template

To use a saved template:

  1. Open the project where you want to add the template.

  2. Open Templates on the left side of the Builder.

  3. Go to Your Templates.

  4. Find your saved template.

  5. Click Apply Template.

You can apply multiple templates in the same project.

Example:

Apply entry template + apply trade management template + apply session filter template

Important: Inputs and Variables

If your saved blocks use Inputs or Variables, the blocks will still reference those names.

However, the Inputs and Variables may not automatically appear in the new project’s Inputs & Variables list.

After applying a template, check whether the needed Inputs and Variables exist with the exact same names.

Example:

Risk_Per_Trade Buy_Gate ATR_Stop_Size London_High

If the names are missing or different, the logic may not work correctly after export.
