Hi At the moment if I want to do this at a specific price I right click on teh chart and then click on the trade dropdown and then select order I want to place and click on it, this requires 3 clicks and the order type is limited by whats available, when I want to be able to select an specific order set with stops and targets( this I already have entered in the chart trading tab 1. Is there a way I can just right click on the chart and a specific price and then select the order I want placed, this would be only 2 clicks ( in tradestation this achieved by holding the ctrl key and then clicking on the chart for a long or ATL for a short) Thnaks |

If you have a direct account with SC, you can use the ChartDOM and place an order anywhere on the chart with one click.

We are puzzled by the because what you apparently are asking for is basic chart trading functionality which is supported and which you are describing that you are using. It is documented here: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_ChartTrading.html#ChartTrading And then there is also the Chart DOM: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_ChartTrading.html#ChartDOM Do you want to enter an order at a price which is not visible on the chart? If so, that can be entered directly from the Trade Window: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_TradeWindow.html#TradeWindow Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

Ideally, I would like to control-click anywhere on the chart and instantly be long, or shift-click (or something else) and instantly be short, without having the chartDOM enabled. Is this possible?

No. Why not just simply use the Buy Market or Sell Market buttons on the Trade Window for the chart.

Correction. Yes you can do this. There are keyboard shortcuts that can be set for Buy/Sell market. They are documented here: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_TradeWindow.html#KeyboardShortcuts We had not thought of this because of the way that it was originally described.

Right - the keyboard shortcuts work, but the desired functionality involved a mouse click plus a chosen command. There are a few other platforms (Gain and TS) that do this, hence our customers' familiarity with this setup. So I can point the mouse and hold down control and then click the mouse, and that places a buy limit order or stop order at that price, but the platform automatically places the order type that would not result in an immediate fill. For example: hold a + click would be buy market hold s + click could be sell market hold z + click would be a buy order (limit if placed below the market, stop if placed above the market) hold x + click would be a sell order (limit if placed above the market, stop if placed below the market) |

Patrick, we already offer functionality that is essentially similar to this and this is the Chart DOM: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_ChartTrading.html#ChartDOM What you are describing from our perspective seems confusing for users who are not familiar with this.

Hi Yes the below " hold z + click would be a buy order (limit if placed below the market, stop if placed above the market) hold x + click would be a sell order (limit if placed above the market, stop if placed below the market)" would work but when I do this on the chart nothing happens? Suggestions? Thanks in advance |

hold z + click would be a buy order (limit if placed below the market, stop if placed above the market)
+1 hold x + click would be a sell order (limit if placed above the market, stop if placed below the market) This is great feature! And very useful for one who trade only by charting without the Chart DOM. Especialy convenient would be the combination of hold Shift + Click for Buy order, and hold Ctrl + Click for Sell order, because no need to look at a keyboard.

+1. ChartDOM takes additional unnecessary screen space if one doesn't use the DOM, but only wants faster chart execution. OP, thanks, from this thread realized you can reduce the 3 clicks needed to 2 by removing the option for trade orders in a separate drop down menu from the chart trade settings. |

If you use the ChartDOM, you can set the options like those in the attached pic so that the correct order type is placed relevant to the price. (Trade >> ChartDOM Settings) If you also uncheck all order Confirmations, placing the correct order anywhere on the chart is a one click operation (no keyboard presses needed). (On trade window: Main tab >> 'M' button >> Confirmations) Date Time Of Last Edit: 2015-06-17 00:43:07

Sorry I am not clear, how does this enable order entry from the chart itself? Thanks in advance

The ChartDOM settings only affect the ChartDOM. The ChartDOM will do everything you want. The only disadvantage is it uses some chart real estate. |

Go to Chart >> Trading ChartDOM On To place an order, click in either the Sell or Buy column at the desired price. |

As regards entering orders from the chart I at present right click, select trade and the select the order from the drop down Is there a way I can just get right click at the price and get to the orders. At the moment it is tedious to have to select the trade, thanks |

With the ChartDOM, you don't click on the chart. You click in either the Sell or Buy columns at the price level you want. If you use the crosshairs, it will assist you in choosing the price. If you use the settings in post #13 above, it's a one left-click operation. |

hi I am trading the ES in 3 separate chartbooks, each taking signals off different other symbols When I look at the trading results how can I distinguish the results of one from another I can see one simulation account , but how do I assign that to a particular simulation account to a particular chart book? Thanks |

There are up to 400 Trade Simulation accounts that can be used. Each Chart/Trade DOM has its own Trade Simulation account setting.

Thanks I have some indicators that send to a receiving chart. For some reason some do not appear on the receiving chart unless I refresh/recalculate. Others work fine. Suggestions? Also using replay, how do I set it to start at a specific date or time.At the moment I scroll to a point and start it, but it always actually starts on a later date. Thanks |

We have very little idea of what you are referring to here. Be more clear about specifically what you are doing.For some reason some do not appear on the receiving chart unless I refresh/recalculate. Others work fine. Suggestions? The replay will start exactly at the Date and Time that you scroll to unless there is a problem with out of order timestamps in the chart.
