Is it possible to create individual trading shortcuts per Symbol, e.g. Flatten for ES and a different key to Flatten for NQ ?

The only way I'm aware of is to use third party software. Here is one idea. Set up a script in AutoHotKey which is called by the keyboard shortcut you want for "flatten ES" 1) makes active the ES trading DOM window 2) plays the hotkey mapped in Sierra Chart to "flatten position" You would need to detach the order entry window for each instrument and give it a custom title in Chart Settings|Advanced Settings|Title Bar Name e.g. I run about 30 DOMs - they have title bar names XX01-XX30. My window layout software then resizes and places them based on the title bar name and a script such as AHK could activate those windows and play whichever order entry commands into them also. please be aware that keyboard trading would need to be switched on in the DOMs you are using for this. |

This can be done with custom keyboard shortcuts programmed by a custom study that is configured for each chart. The study would have a setting for the keystrokes needed to Flatten that symbol, Reverse, etc. It is set to recognize only certain key combinations, and ignore others. Direct Message or email me if you want more information. Brad@ForgivingComputers.com |
