I have tried to incorporate mouse keyboard shortcuts but I have not succeeded. For instance, through "Global Settings > Customize Chart Trade Menu" I have successfully activated the following: - Sell Limit - Buy Stop - Sell Stop - Buy Limit --- - Sell OCO Limit and Stop - Buy OCO Limit and Stop What I now want to activate is the option to press a combination of CTRL, ALT or SHFT with the Left mouse click to activate a Sell Limit order exactly at the place where the mouse pointer is located (above current price). And another combination of CTRL, ALT or SHFT with the Rignt mouse click to activate a Buy Limit order exactly at the price where the mouse pointer is located. In other words I want to have the above mentioned functionality without the need to Right-Click the mouse first and then select one of the above designated commands (obviously one of the four top). O desperately need this functionality for scalping NQ contracts, as the velocity of this market is very high. Is it possible to activate this option or maybe I am asking for too many things here? |

Chart Trading and the Chart DOM: Using the Chart DOM / Order Entry Ladder You can use the chart trade order entry columns to accomplish what you want. You can single-click (left or right-click) to enter the type of order you want, at the exact price you want, in the appropriate buy or sell column. This is how I enter all my orders. Works perfectly. I find it very helpful to also use the chart values/crosshair tool, and have it active when I'm attempting to enter orders. Hope this helps. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2023-10-10 15:08:10

Hello guys. Thank you very much for your support. It seems that the best is to use the price ladder located to the right of the chart. Together with the crosshair it works fine. I appreciate your willingness to help. |
