Post From: Trading Keyboard Shortcuts and attaching orders to existing filled order

Hi
I trade fast moving and volatile markets and keyboard shortcuts are absolutely essential to my trading for placing and managing orders, moving open(not yet executed orders) regardless of whether they are buy/sell limit orders or Buy/sell stop orders.

Sierra chart seems to have separate keyboard shortcuts for limit orders and stop orders. This had caused wrong orders being placed in a fast moving markets, not being able to uptick/downtick open stop orders...

Please, please give us an option to simplify buy or sell without having to distinguish between limit/stop orders ie:
#1 just 1 key to buy and 1 key to sell at current pointer price ( Using Global Settings > Customize keyboard shortcuts i have to create 2 sets ie. one set for limit orders and one set for stop orders)
#2 1 key to uptick open order(not filled yet) and 1 key to downtick open order(not filled yet)
#3 1 key to uptick stop and 1 key to downtick stop


Attaching stop and Target to Current position(active and filled order):
#1 How do i attach a stop loss to an active(filled) position?
#2 How do i attach a Target to an active(filled) position?

Really appreciate it, Thank you!
