I see that there are keyboard shortcuts, but, is there any way to do the following, without custom code, perhaps with public code, in SierraChart? Shift - Left Mouse = place LONG Stop Limit / Limit at cursor price Control - Left Mouse = place SHORT Stop Limit / Limit at cursor price Control Shift Up Arrow = place LONG at Bid Ask Price Control Shift Down Arrow = place SHORT at Sell Bid Price Space Key = Go Flat (just for the instrument on the active chart, not other charts) Quantity and other trade parameters taken from the current Trade Window settings I could do this in Ninja but I had to code it myself. Not ready to dive into custom coding on a new platform. Thank you.

Shift - Left Mouse = place LONG Stop Limit / Limit at cursor price Control - Left Mouse = place SHORT Stop Limit / Limit at cursor price You can use the Chart DOM for this. Refer to: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/ChartTrading.html#ChartDOM Control Shift Up Arrow = place LONG at Bid Ask Price Control Shift Down Arrow = place SHORT at Sell Bid Price Space Key = Go Flat (just for the instrument on the active chart, not other charts) For these you will want to use the available Trading Keyboard Shortcuts which support all of these commands.

I never use a DOM.... On the other...the options are against bid / ask / market. these are all the current drawing point on the chart what I want to do is to have an order placed where the cursor is on the chart...is this possible? This order price is not related to the current bid / ask / market.

I never use a DOM.... This is an integrated trading ladder on the right side of the chart. You should give it a try. You can also activate the Chart Values tool at the same time to have a horizontal line across the chart at the price level you are pointing at on the trading ladder/DOM. The particular order actions that are performed with the left and right clicks and also based upon the particular column can be configured through Global Settings >> Chart DOM Settings. The only other way is to use the standard chart trading functionality: Chart Trading and the Chart DOM: Chart Trading Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

Ok, will check it out, but usually dom thingys only have a certain range.....will try next week and tell you if it works for what I do the standard chart trading is good but is much slower than point / click with key combo / trade entered but a further question.... programmatically...in Ninjatrader 7 it is possible with custom unsupported code to access the chart price at the cursor, that was the hard part. Then entering the order is easy. I had guidance from the community at futures.io that resulted in a very nice click-trader. Has anyone done this already in Sierra Chart? Perhaps I should ask on Futures IO? I have no idea why it is not part of the standard packages like NT, Sierra Chart, etc Once a person can simply click/key combination and put in a trade based on the other parameters in the Trade Panel....

Refer to: ACSIL Interface Members - Variables and Arrays: sc.ChartTradingOrderPrice For order entry examples, refer to the OrderEntry.cpp files in the /ACS_Source folder with Sierra Chart.
