Post From: Chart Trade Menu alternative - or manual quick Trailing Stop entry

I have a need to occasionally replace a LIVE (attached) Stop+Limit Order with a Trailing Stop Order. What is, and I am Looking for, a quick & convenient way to enter/place a Trailing Stop; discounting the following: 1) Right-click [Chart shortcut Menu\|Chart Trade Menu], I needed to remove all Order-Menu items as I (at the best of times) occasionally hit one of the 'place order' types by mistake, as I access this right-click menu upto 40-60 times a day on my 20charts 6monitors. So I really don't want the Order types listed particularly side-by-side (at the bottom, yes perhaps) 2) Trade-DOM does not have the functionality (as far as I can ascertain) to right-click place Trailing Stop 3) Trade-Window does not (as far as I can ascertain) place 'solely' a Trailing Stop Order without placing an actual Order-Entry along with it. 4) By way of additional Toolbars, also not a valuable solution, as these Toolbars can only be attached to the main SC-Chart platform window and with 6 monitors is not a solution I want to depend on. If these Toolbars would be attachable to detached chart-windows, that might be a different story then. So all in all, bar 1-4, what are the alternatives for placing a Trailing Stop Order beyond a current LIVE position)?
