HI! Looks like in SC it accumulates all the volume traded upto that price point rather than only for a specifis price point. "In the case of a Buy Trade Volume Triggered Stop Limit, when the last trade price is at the order price or higher, the trading volume of the symbol is accumulated and when it meets or exceeds the set Volume for the order, then the order is submitted as a Limit order immediately. In the case of a Sell Trade Volume Triggered Stop Limit, when the last trade price is at the order price or lower, the trading volume of the symbol is accumulated and when it meets or exceeds the set Volume for the order, then the order is submitted as a Limit order immediately." (Ref: Order Types: Trade Volume Triggered Stop-Limit) Most other platforms allow(the right solution) example: Inputs: Volume triggered Buy stop at 7000.25, Volume trigger = 20 (you can set a default volume value in your trade window>> set tab for faster execution) Functionality: Buy stop is triggered at 7000.25 Only when at least 20 contracts have traded @7000.25(accumulation starts when the working order was placed and that too for 7000.25 price point only). Can you please provide customized keyboard option for this to trade on DOM & Chart? Thank You! Date Time Of Last Edit: 2026-05-09 22:08:22

There will not be any changes to how the Trade Volume Triggered Stop-Limit works. The problem with a keyboard shortcut is that how would the price and volume be specified?

I made the request because Current SC solution has no use for me a trader and other trading platforms use volume traded at a specific price as a trigger(which makes perfect sense as a discretionary trader in a fast moving market). Appreciate it if you can add this much needed feature to SC. The problem with a keyboard shortcut is that how would the price and volume be specified? Please see attached screenshots for clarification #1a Trade>>Trade Window for Chart>> Set Tab>>"Add new option for default volume size" (Just like we can change Quantity buttons) #1b To change that volume size on the fly on a chart can be same as you change order quantity on working orders on a chart/DOM. #2a Global Settings>>Customize Keyboard shortcuts>>Trading keyboard Shortcuts>> "Buy at price volume trigger" #2b Global Settings>>Customize Keyboard shortcuts>>Trading keyboard Shortcuts>> "Sell at price volume trigger" You do not have to make a distinction between Buy Stop and Buy Limit(Sell Stop and Sell Limit) because it can be handled internally by software depending on whether the working order position is above or below current price on the DOM. This way only 2 keyboard shortcuts(#2a & #2b) will do instead of 4. This will make the Ferrari/SC more maneuverable for car racer/trader... Thank you! |
