is there a way to place a stop/ limit order by holding a key and placing the order whith a mouse click , so the order is placed where the cursor is?

I do this by a right mouse click on your point on the chart, than a menu pops up. you can choose limit order and anything else. i think you must turn on chart trading in the trade menu.

https://prnt.sc/UO9fpn3fC4jd doesnt work Looks like your screenshot has the order options in the menu. What doesn't work? The cross hair seems to be missing though to track to the price. Perhaps you need need to change the color of the cross hair. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2022-08-13 19:48:03

i clicked far right , as u said, i right clicked on the line but the trading menu dindt pop up trading menu can been seen in the second column of the popup (chart shortcut menu) in your screenshot. You can organize the order in which things appear in your pop up (chart shortcut menu) and also remove what is not needed by checking or unchecking menu items Global Settings Menu: Customize Chart Shortcut Menu (Global Settings menu) Global Settings Menu: Customize Chart Trade Menu (Global Settings menu) Date Time Of Last Edit: 2022-08-14 01:58:21

Hi, yes thats right! You can use the Trading Chart DOM, to set Limit and Stop Orders, by ONE Mouse Click. Left Click for Limit Order and Right Click for Stop Order. So this would be the mechanic you can use. If i do this by this way i turn on the Chart Values/Crosshair.
