It would be much more efficient if the current price is automatically filled in on the stop and limit prices on the trade window when the mouse is left-clicked on the price field (see attached). Right now, I left-click on the price field and has to manually enter the price before I can submit my order. This process takes longer and I have missed out on some trades because price moved already before I could finish entering the price. I use stop limit and limit orders only when entering a trade. I use the trade window because I feel more comfortable with it than the DOM. I feel like I could easily make a mistake with the DOM. I hope this feature is not difficult to add. Thanks.

Have you tried the chart dom? That's what I use for one click orders and it's pretty much fool proof.

I also use the ChartDOM, with the settings like the attached, and all Confirmations unchecked, and you will always be entering the correct order type (Limit or Stop), with one click.

If you want to exit at Market, press the Buy Mkt or Sell Mkt button with the correct Quantity to reduce or flatten your position. The OCO orders will also get reduced/cancelled if Support Scale-Out is checked.
