Post From: Feature Request: Cancel Last Order with Keyboard Shortcut

Hi team,

This feature is very needed. Here is the use case:

Suppose you’re in a long position with multiple contracts with an OCO Stop+Target bracketing the entire position. You want to start scaling out using limit orders only without touching the mouse.

Currently not possible. You can send the order with the keyboard but not cancel it. To send it, you can use one of the currently existing keyboard shortcuts e.g., “Sell Ask + 2”. But if you don’t get filled, there is no way to cancel that order with the keyboard, other than by cancelling all of your sell orders – including your OCO target on the entire position, which is not the goal. So the only option is to reach for the mouse and click [X] out of it, which is too slow for fast contexts.

So the functionality “Cancel Last Order” with keyboard shortcut support is needed to enable precise keyboard control when scaling in/out, in the context of a working a larger position.

Is this something that you guys could please drop in the next update? If so, it will be used everyday.

Thank you in advance

EDIT: If you're able to do this without too much headache, "Last Order Tick Up" and "Last Order Tick Down" in the Trading Keyboard Shortcut list would be equally (and amazingly) helpful. Functionality is identical to "Target Order Tick Up/Down" and "Stop Order Tick Up/Down", which already exist, but the new command would only effect the Last Open Order sent. Use case is a variation of the above example (e.g., looking to scale out but not filled, can move the last order up/down without effecting larger bracket or needing to reach for the mouse). Would be so useful. Thanks again
