It's on
The Trading Trading DOM trading features are very useful for fast futuretrading. Unfortunately, you often make mistakes, for example, by choosing Long instead of Short. Then you would have to be able to quickly turn the position.
The button REVERSE is unfortunately in an extra window the "Trade Window To Chart", so not directly in the chart. Where you could act comfortably. Another use case is the point of trend reversal by switching from long to short or from short to long in sync with the directional arrows.
Should:
Just add the existing button REVERSE from the "Trade Window To Chart", directly to the left of "Trading Chart DOM" in the chart; For example, always in the middle between the order and the stop order.
This software development / customization should optionally be selectable from the Trade menu.

Thank you for your suggested improvement. I do not see this being implemented soon, but we always keep track of the requested changes.

In the meantime, you can always create a Control Bar button shortcut to peform the Reverse action. To do this, follow the instructions here:

As John mentioned it's very easy to set up an additional Control Bar to include your Trade Buttons. As an example I've shared what one of my Control Bars looks like attached below. I often close my Trade Window and trade right from the Chart Dom or chart itself. I keep a floating Control Bar nearby with some Trade Buttons I can quickly access if I need to as show below. You can format it vertically or horizontally and place it where you want relative to your chart for your Reverse button or whatever you need.
