Summary
Use this guide if you want to move faster in the Builder.
You can:
copy and paste blocks
clone one block
clone multiple blocks
delete selected blocks
select all blocks
move several blocks together
create a group
save selected blocks as a personal template
save a full project as a personal template
Also known as: clone blocks, duplicate blocks, copy blocks, paste blocks, delete blocks, select multiple blocks, save blocks as template, reuse blocks, personal templates, copy a full project.
How do I select blocks instead of moving around the canvas?
If you are moving around the canvas with the hand/pan behavior and want to select blocks instead, click directly on a block to select it.
Once a block is selected, you can copy, duplicate, delete, or move it.
To select multiple blocks, hold Shift and drag around the blocks you want to select.
On Mac, you can also use Command + click to select blocks manually. Then use a two-finger click on the canvas to open actions such as duplicate, delete, or create template.
On Windows, select the blocks and use the available right-click actions or keyboard shortcuts.
Quick answer: how do I copy or clone blocks?
Yes.
To clone multiple blocks inside the same project:
Hold Shift
Click and drag around the blocks you want to select
Copy the selected blocks
Paste them back onto the canvas
Shortcuts:
Action | macOS | Windows / Linux |
Select multiple blocks | Hold Shift + Click + Drag | Hold Shift + Click + Drag |
Copy | ⌘ + C | Ctrl + C |
Paste | ⌘ + V | Ctrl + V |
Use this when you want to quickly duplicate blocks inside the same project.
Copy/paste vs personal templates
Use copy and paste when you want to duplicate blocks in the current project.
Use Your Templates when you want to save blocks and reuse them later in other projects.
Goal | Best option |
Clone one block now | Duplicate or copy/paste |
Clone multiple blocks now | Select blocks → copy/paste |
Move multiple blocks together | Select group → drag |
Delete multiple blocks | Select group → delete |
Reuse blocks in future projects | Save as Your Template |
Reuse a full strategy as a starting point | Save full project as Your Template |
Use Your Templates only when you want to save blocks and reuse them later in other projects.
Working with one block
Select one block
Click the block once.
Once selected, you can use the available block actions such as:
duplicate
delete
You can also use copy and paste:
Action | macOS | Windows / Linux |

Create group | ⌘ + G | Ctrl + G |
Groups help keep larger strategies cleaner and easier to read.
Example:
Entry logic group Risk management group Trade management group Session filter group
Save selected blocks as Your Template

You can save:
one block
a selected group of blocks
trade management logic
entry patterns
filters
complete projects
How to create a template from selected blocks
Select the block or blocks you want to save.
Right-click on a blank space on the canvas.
On Mac, use a two-finger click if that is your secondary-click setting.Click Create Template.
Add a clear title.
Add an optional description.
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
To save the full canvas as a personal template:
Make sure no blocks are selected.
Right-click on a blank space on the canvas.
Click Create Template.
Add a clear title.
Add an optional description.
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:
Open the project where you want to add the template.
Open Templates on the left side of the Builder.
Go to Your Templates.
Find your saved template.
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.
