Hi team. Would it be possible to have a keyboard shortcut to increase "quantity" on the trade window up by 1 contract or down by 1 contract?

Thanks for your enduring assistance. :)

Sorry, I've just seen the sticky about how busy you guys are, please ignore the above. Sounds like your hands are already full as it is! The stuff you have in the pipeline sounds awesome!

Good luck!

Fortunately this already exists. Please see:

Keyboard shortcuts can be assigned to the quantity buttons on the Trade Window.

Sorry to bump such an old thread but i was looking for this too. I think what he meant was a shortcut to increase/decrease the quantity by 1 each time it's pressed, for example say you bind it to alt+w or alt+scroll or something and you were at 1 contract by default, you could tap it or scroll up 9 times to get you to 10 contracts, same for decreasing. This would be really useful for people who use a lot of shortcuts and don't really have the trade window open too often, also those who trade instruments with different margins or go on the micros every now and then, it might be asking too much since we already have the 6 keybinds but it would be nice if you guys could eventually add something like this in the future if it's possible.

This is not currently in the software, but you could create a custom study that does this. Refer to the following for a start:

There are "+" and "-" buttons in the Change Quantity window. Would it be possible for Sierra Chart to add those buttons to the list of "Trading Keyboard Shortcuts" commands?
