Personally, I do not agree with your premise. SC out-of-the-box should not even try to be everything to everyone regarding trade strategy execution and position(s) management, especially using your choice of brokerage and data feed! SC allows auto-trading and/or an API where you can write the code and that code(you) know what you want to do, whether it is a new position or an amendment to or a transaction against an existing position(s). Manually placing orders comes with a certain level of "purpose" necessary for execution. This is true among any platform I've ever used, white-label and 3rd-party. There may be some streamlines, but in all, the trader must be purposeful to a relatively stringent set of execution machinations. All of that said, there is plenty in SC which is prime for streamlining. For example, the original topic of this thread, the trade menu, if/when changed as discussed, would be a safeguard against erroneous placed trades in addition to simplifying/streamlining chart trading. That is only one.
