Post From: Hotkey to place stop/limit orders at cursor price

There is already functionality that exists - where you can assign a hotkey for the keyboard that will trigger a buy or sell order - and the price of that order will be entered where the cursor is on the y-axis of the chart.

I'm wondering if it is possible to have your stop created - after you press a hotkey on the keyboard to enter the position - at the position of your cursor on the y-axis.

An example of this would be the following:
1. I press a hotkey on the keyboard to market buy.
2. The current price of the instrument I would like to buy is $23,180.
3. I get filled at market at $23.180.
4. My stop is automatically placed on entry and the price that stop is placed at is where my cursor is on the y-axis of the chart at $23, 160.

Is it possible to do this?
This would allow dynamic stop placement where my cursor is - while allowing speed of entry with a hotkey.
