Order Entry Ladder

SC:

I have 4 questions listed below:

1. Is there a way to detach the order entry ladder from the chart and just have it as a separate window that I can minimize below the chart and then expand back -- using the windows 10 basic function for this?

I realize that to get the trading dom and the order entry ladder that SC level 5 would be needed.

2. Also, with your order entry ladder is there a way to just display the entry price on the order entry ladder instead of as a line on the chart; and, if using a basic bracket assuming a 10 tick stop and a 10 tick target, can these levels be displayed on the order entry ladder as the quantity, ie 1 or 2 and etc, instead of as a line on the chart? The cancel function could be to simply right click on the order quantity for the 1 or 2 size that were traded and then the order(s) would cancel.

3. In addition, can the bracketed stop and target orders be moved by dragging and dropping them to the new desired price on the order entry ladder? Or if you really wanted to get fast, AFTER an order has been filled and the bracket has been placed on the order entry ladder, then all that would be needed is to click on the middle of the order entry ladder where the price is to move that bracket to the spot that you would click on the center part of the order entry ladder. For example, if I am long one contract and the brackets have been placed on the order entry ladder, and assuming the price has gone in my favor by say 7 ticks, then to move my stop to breakeven, instead of having to drag and drop, I could just click on the breakeven price on the prices that are in the middle of the order entry ladder and the order would be moved to that price.

4. Also, is there a way to cancel all orders from the order entry ladder? And also, is there a way to place these order back again using a simple send bracket order again?

I am currently using a dom that that does perform these functions; but, I would like to be able to just use your charts and have the functions listed above on the order entry ladder. I think Sierra Charts are the best.

Thanks in advance.
