Post From: Sierra Trading DOM keystrokes compatible with Iron Beam

Dear Team:

I use Iron Beam and would like to place trades using Sierra. I understand that IB uses specific key stroke order rules to meet exchange requirements. I also understand that Sierra does not necessarily use those same key strokes in your Simulation account. All I do is place limit buys above AND below current price as well as place sells above and below the current price. I understand that a buy below the market price for both IB and Sierra is a left click on DOM bid current price and that a sell above the current price is also a left click on ask current price on DOM. HOWEVER, what are the Sierra key strokes for a buy ABOVE current bid price AND what are the Sierra keystrokes for a sell below the current ask price THAT WILL BE ACCEPTED BY IB? Once those orders are placed, what are the keystrokes to set a STOP order under each scenario? I have watched your trading DOM video as well as IB's trading DOM video, but I want to use the correct keystrokes in Sierra that will PREVENT my orders from being rejected by the exchange once I send order to IB.

Thank you!
