I'm am looking for a way to use keyboard shortcuts to move a LMT order up or down by single ticks when trading from a chart. I have looked under "Customize Keyboard Shortcuts" >> "Trading Keyboard Shortcuts", but there does not seem to be an option for this. To be clear, I would like to move the last LMT order that I sent, which is usually for entering or exiting a trade.

That is not what I need. I am looking for a way to move a primary order.

This cannot be done and is not logical to begin with because there is not a logical way to even identify the order.

Most other platforms are doing it, hence it obviously can be done. Furthermore, this is trivial to implement: Just push any user-generated LMT order to a stack. Pop it if it has been executed or cancelled. If the shortcut is used, peek at the stack. If it is not empty, modify the price of the order at top of stack.

I've been looking for the same shortcut, surprised it's not implemented - using a keyboard shortcut to move a LMT order that was already generated via chart/DOM trading.

Are there any chances this can be implemented? A shortcut for moving a primary LMT order.

We will see about adding a keyboard shortcut to move a limit order which is not an Attached Order, which is nearest the current price.

Hello SC

Is this going to be implemented soon. It would be very helpful.

Also looking for such a shortcut.

EDIT: Never mind, turns out there is already "Non-Attached LMT Order Up/Down" which does what I needed.
