Parts

1. License Status
   Shows whether the license is active or inactive, confirming the product is authorized and operational.

2. Mode (Heuristic Account Detection)
   Toggle for heuristic account detection. Off by default. When on, the tool tries to infer account traits heuristically. Note: NinjaTrader cannot reliably expose live, vs sim or playback, so this is optional.

3. Snapshot
   At-a-glance context of the current setup: selected instrument, current position size, and configured reward-to-risk. Use it for a fast operational check.

4. Preset Selector
   Dropdown to pick an existing TradeControl preset; loads its saved parameters immediately.

5. Duplicate
   Creates a copy of the selected preset so you can edit without touching the original.

6. Manage
   Opens preset management to organize, rename, duplicate, or remove presets.

7. Delete
   Permanently removes the selected preset from disk. No undo.

8. Name
   Editable field for the preset name before saving.

9. Export Preset
   Alloes exporting the selected preset to a file for backup, sharing, or transfer.

10. Save
    Saves the current configuration under the Name field. Overwrites if the name already exists.

11. Save as Default Preset
    Marks the current preset as the designated default. It will not automatically load at startup unless the “Load Default Preset at Startup” option is enabled.

12. Live Account Warning
    Optional warning when a preset is used on a live account. Off by default; relies on indirect detection because NinjaTrader does not expose a definitive live/sim/playback flag.

13. Load Default Preset at Startup
    Checkbox to auto-load the default preset when the tool starts. Requires a preset saved as default (Part 11) and this box enabled.

14. Help Button
    Opens the TradeControl help page in a browser for docs, tutorials, and support.

15. Account
    Displays the currently selected trading account so you know where orders will route.
