How do I hotkey (Buy LMT at current pointer price) on LMT if touched-clientside?

I recently started setting my take-profit/stoploss bracket orders to execute (LMT if touched-clientside) because I like the idea of my orders NOT being on the order books until price hits that level.

To do this I opened trade>Trade window for chart>targets and added the target and stop touched parameters there.

Now the way I like to execute is your Buy LMT at current pointer price hotkey. It lets me put the LMT order where I want it to but it does NOT let me choose if it is LMT if touched-clientside or live on orderbook order.

How do I set it up so that when I use the Buy LMT at current pointer price hotkey the order on the screen is LMT if touched-clientside? Not visible on the books until price hits that level.

There is not a keyboard shortcut for "Buy Limit if Touched - Client".

You can add the option for this order type to the right-click options, so you can right click where you want and select this order. Another option is to set the Order Type for the DOM so you can click in the Buy column at the level you want and get that order type. Refer to the following:
Global Settings Menu: Customize Chart Trade Menu (Global Settings menu)

Global Trade Settings Windows: Order Types (Global Settings >> Chart DOM Settings)

Thanks. Just to confirm. Take a look at this screen shot. Everything about this order is client-side and does not show up on the order book correct?

Yes, that is correct. If it states "Client" then those orders only exist within your Sierra Chart software.
