Post From: Using Control Bars as Trade Window

Hello.

I thought that this could help other users to find solutions for the "shortage" of trade window quantity buttons mentioned in the posts above.

After wrestling for a while with this issue, I found out (by trial and error) that we can change the Trade DOM order quantity just inputting the number on the keyboard and hit Enter (e.g. 15 + Enter). Very fast and easy.

It's strange though that I couldn't find this information written or mentioned anywhere in all of the vast SC information available.

So, we can configure a small macro for every single digit we need. As I wrote above, these macros are simply the digits + Enter.

From here you can configure any keyboard shortcut to input any figure you need, even just with a single key stroke.

As I don't like to mix too much the keyboard shortcuts (and SC has already a lot of them preconfigured), I bought a Stream Deck just for these extra dedicated keyboard shortcuts. This way I don't even need the macros, just need to configure and customize the Stream Deck.

Just using this, we can expand a lot the functionality of Sierra Chart in many fields, not just the quantity buttons.

I hope this info can help other users too.
