Is there a way to set a hotkey combo/sequence for an EXACT quantity that I want, rather than just selecting the pre-set quantities 1-6 on the trade window?

What I'm looking for is the following:

Alt + 10 + Enter = Set quantity to 10
Alt + 22 + Enter = Set quantity to 22

or something of that nature.

Right now it's Alt + 1-6, and I only get what was pre-set, but if I have to change something in real time, it's too slow because I have to manually enter it in the pulldown menu under "Quantity" or go to the Set tab and enter it there for future reference.

I'd love to be able to somehow enter a quantity on the numpad and have it update immediately rather than having to rely on pulldown menus or buttons. I don't see anything like this in the doc. Is this a possible future update?

There are only the keyboard shortcuts for the 6 pre-sets.

What you want could be done by creating a custom study. Refer to the following:
