Post From: Customizable Trade Window

I understand you guys are extremely busy but I also would like more customizeable options on the TRADE WINDOW. The increased voaltility and range has forced us human traders to literally have almost new room for error and speed is critical.l when you mix speed stress and order entry and exit in extremely fast mkts it is a recipe for error and disaster. A couple custom buttons on the trade window is what is needed.

these would be buttons. this is a one click button for order entry. Quantity would be pressed or deignated already

Buy stop= customizations
1. ticks above last or ticks above bid/ask... this is where the original order would be placed

2. Limit yes or no= ticks to set for limit trigger

this way I can click one button and my order is sent as a buy stop or sell stop at the number of ticks away from the mkt. I do not have to manually always go to chart and make the trade. I have a DOM on my chart and it is still too slow for what I do. Not your fault of course.

Limit orders=customizations
B/S limit order = # of ticks below or above mkt (again this is a button) I could have 3 buttons.. all limit orders.. buy 5 ticks below lst biy 1 tick below last etc.

MKT order buttons= Customizations
buy mkt button sell mkt button = yes i know you have these but would be great if I could set up like this:
1 buy mkt another button 3 buy mkt another button 5 buy mkt
1 sell mkt 3 sell mkt 5 sell mkt.
this way it is one click to buy or sell automatically without having to adjust my size all the time. Just like the banks do it
you click a green 50 button and you are buying at the mkt hit a red 10 button and you are selling 10 at the mkt.
I know it is easy to click qty then buy or sell but having this would be great. I WOULD PAY FOR CUSTOMIZATION

I would stick strictly with= MKT order buttons, LIMIT order buttons and stop order buttons. This would be a great manual start and would appease the majority of us I think. Obviously down the road traders might want a button to click for different oco orders etc but I think a good start would be mkt limit and stop orders.

I could be wrong but I think most traders trade off of one screen or chart but obviously watch multiple monitors so it might even be possible to start
fresh with a trade window or pop out that you can do all of this with?

Another option would be to create one new type of chart and call it (trading chart ONLY or whatever) and it would be 1 chart that we could
use the current order window settings but we could actually click the mouse pointer on the chart and place an order at the price we clicked. that would probably alleviate buttons. I trade short term so yeah most of this is for very short term traders. I fI could set my order to a stop limit and just click the chart and palce it that would be awesome. I do it now with the DOm on the cahrt which is good but one click place would be advantageous.
THANK YOU ALWAYS for everything
