Problem sending orders using keyboard shortcuts

Hi I'm a new Sierra user and I'm struggling trying to find a simple way to perform two actions that I use on other platforms:

1. How can I perform simultaneously 2 actions (for example orders) using a keyboard shortcut? I'm using the "Custom Trading Keyboard Shortcuts" but it only allows one order per each hotkey.

2. If the above is not available, how can I send an order with attached orders (triggered orders) using the Keyboard and not just the main Trade panel?

Any help will be appreciated. Thank you!

1. What two actions do you want to perform?

2. Just configure a keyboard shortcut, for what you want to do. Instructions:
Basic Trading and the Trade Window: Trading Keyboard Shortcuts
Or:
Basic Trading and the Trade Window: Custom Trading Keyboard Shortcuts

And configure the Attached Orders:
Attached Orders: Using Attached Orders and Attached Order Settings

Thanks for the reply.

For example, I want to have a shortcut key with a buy limit order at price "Bid - 20 ticks" which if triggered, automatically sends two child orders: 1) a market stop order at price "Bid - 40 ticks", and 2) a profit target at "Bid + 80 ticks".

That could be a good example of what I'm unable to accomplish.

Thank you!
