Newbie here, 100% trading off of a DOM, is there a way to place an order 10 ticks from current bid/ask?

Like trading ES and I want to enter an order 10 ticks below current bid, as the ES moves up and down quickly, this would be extremely useful in my scalping methods.

Thanks
Kurt

Go to Global Setting >> ChartDOM Settings and set the Order Types as in the attached pic.

These not the default settings, but should be, IMO.

So basically you ignore all RIGHT-CLICK actions on the DOM?

From a UX/UI perspective, that seems kind of counterintuitive to me, especially where STOP or STOP-LIMIT orders are concerned.

I also discovered today I can create a keyboard shortcut that will place an order x number of ticks away. This is exactly what I needed.

Global Settings -> Customize Keyboard Shortcuts -> Custom Trading Keyboard Shortcuts

Choose one of the customs and off to the right is Customize Trading Command

Let me know if this doesn't work for you and I will create a short video; I have included a screenshot of one that I did.
