Hello,

As it is explained in the link below, I would like to assign a keyboard button to the function Target Order Tick Up (and another one for Down).

I am currently using Attached orders with one Target (+30 ticks) and one Stop (-20 ticks).

It should be working but it does not.

Of course, I have Trading Keyboard SHortcut enabled, and all other Keyboard shortcuts I am usign work perfectly fine.

Thank you for your help

Do you see any errors in the Window >> Message Log when you use that keyboard shortcut?

Keep in mind that there are two different Target Tick Up/Down options, one for Attached Orders and one for Non-Attached Limit Orders. Make sure you are using the correct one.

The first thing is to ensure that the option for Trade >> Trading Keyboard Shortcuts Enabled is enabled (has a checkmark next to it). If it does not, then the keyboard shortcuts will not work.

Next, the other thing we see is a single letter (U) being used for a shortcut. This is not good practice as there can be a confusion as to whether you want the letter U or the shortcut. It will work most of the time, but there can be times when there will be an issue. You should apply a modifier or two to the letter.

None of what you said worked but i removed the assignment multiple times and it finally worked.

For the owner of this thread it still doesn't work.
