If you are requiring the use of a keyboard shortcut, then you would need to use the "Trading System Based on Alert Condition", as this allows for Enable/Disable using a Control Bar, and then a Keyboard Shortcut can be setup that activates/deactivates the control bar button.

On the study is an Input for "ACS Control Bar Button # for Enable/Disable". You would set this to a particular control bar number. Then in "Global Settings >> Customize Keyboard Shortcuts" is a section for "Custom Study Control Bar Button Keyboard Shortcuts", where you would select the particular Control Bar number you setup for this study and then add the keyboard shortcut you want for it.

You would need at least two copies of the study, depending on how many different options you want to have for +/- X related to Buy/Sell. Your Alert Condition would look like the following
=L[-1] + 5

Refer to the following:
Trading System Based on Alert Condition

Global Settings Menu: Customize Keyboard Shortcuts (Global Settings menu)
