You need to go into the Windows Control Panel and increase the Keyboard >> Speed >>Character Repeat >> Repeat Delay.


What you are requesting is something that we have no control over and we would also not ever filter trading keyboard commands that are entered over a short period of time because that may be intended.

And we would not even add an option to do that because it is not easy to implement and creates inconsistencies with functioning. Sierra Chart is not sensing keypresses. It is only receiving messages that a particular command was invoked by the user and the operating system will send those repeatedly if you are pressing and holding a key.

You should also enable order confirmations to prevent an issue like this.
