For a "STOPLIMIT" order, what's the fastest way to define STP and LMT values on a DOM?

I am placing stoplimit orders only.

I execute them on the DOM.

I need to be able to quickly adjust the offset between my stop and limit values, in reaction to market volatility. Therefore, typing the offset in the "set" tab of the trade window is too slow. It really exposes me to getting skipped by the market.

TradeStation allows their users to first click a bid/ask price (which sets the stop value), then click a second price on the same bid/ask column (which sets the limit value). In two clicks, the stoplimit order is set in a widely flexible way.

Does something similar exist in Sierra Chart ?

If not, what would you suggest to be the quickest method to define stop and limit values for a stoplimit order?
Does a keyboard hotkey exist to increase/lower the offset by a given amount of ticks?

Best regards

There is not a quick way to do this. Not even by keyboard. The Limit offset has to be defined on the Set tab of the Trade Window.

My understanding is that CME does not allow the offset to be larger than a constant specific for each symbol. For example, I cannot make it more than 3 points for ES.

I don't deal with futures. Just trading stocks, for example AAPL on the NASDAQ, allows any maximum offset.
