I have successfully configured Global Settings >> Chart DOM Settings to behave similarly to Jigsaw daytradr order type section set to Auto option. Buy Column Above Last > Buy Stop Sell Column Above/Equal Last > Sell Limit Buy Column Below/Equal Last > Buy Limit Sell Column Below Last > Sell Stop But it requires clicking directly on the Buy or Sell column. Is it possible to assign a single hotkey to each column, for example: W → Buy Column behavior S → Sell Column behavior The hotkey would use the current pointer price and let the Chart DOM Settings automatically determine whether the order should be a Limit or Stop based on the Last Price. Currently, the Global Settings >> Trading Keyboard Shortcuts have separate commands for: Buy Limit at Current Pointer Price Buy Stop at Current Pointer Price Sell Limit at Current Pointer Price Sell Stop at Current Pointer Price So I would need four different hotkeys. I would like to combine the Buy Limit/Stop behavior into W, and Sell Limit/Stop behavior into S, based on the Last Price. Is this currently possible? If not currently possible, could this be considered as a feature request? Thanks. |

So you are saying to determine whether the order is a Limit or Stop order based upon the Pointer price in relation to the last traded price, and also whether it is a buy or sell order? We could probably add another keyboard shortcut for that. We will note this as a feature request but it would be a long while before we would get to it.

Yes. I know this is quite a niche feature, so I understand if it’s not a priority yet or might not even be considered. I’ve already implemented it as a custom study, so no worries if you want to drop the feature request. const double targetPrice = sc.ChartTradingOrderPrice;
const double lastPrice = sc.LastTradePrice; sc.SendOrdersToTradeService = sc.GlobalTradeSimulationIsOn ? 0 : 1; s_SCNewOrder newOrder; newOrder.OrderQuantity = sc.TradeWindowOrderQuantity; newOrder.Price1 = targetPrice; newOrder.Symbol = sc.GetTradeSymbol(); newOrder.TradeAccount = sc.SelectedTradeAccount; if (isBuyClick) { if (targetPrice > lastPrice) { newOrder.OrderType = SCT_ORDERTYPE_STOP; } else { newOrder.OrderType = SCT_ORDERTYPE_LIMIT; } sc.BuyOrder(newOrder); } else if (isSellClick) { if (targetPrice >= lastPrice) { newOrder.OrderType = SCT_ORDERTYPE_LIMIT; } else { newOrder.OrderType = SCT_ORDERTYPE_STOP; } sc.SellOrder(newOrder); } |
