Post From: Trading DOM: Moving Stop to Break Even

Scenario: I am in a trade using the DOM, I have an open long position, a 20 tick stop and no target order. Price has moved in my favor say 4 ticks, I want to close the position before it moves against me. (see attached screen shot where I captured this scenerio)

Option 1: Drag my stop to current bid/ask and get filled (price may move many ticks while I get this done)
Option 2: Hit Flatten (price may move and my fill may be bad)
Option 3: Place a sell limit order (because I have attached orders turned on, I will end up with a DOM with other orders that have to be cancelled before they accidently get filled)

Question 1: Is there a way to create a shortcut to move an order using a mouse click instead of click and drag on the DOM?
Question 2: In my other platform there is an option to CANCEL all open orders when one order is filled, is this an option in Sierra Chart?
