Hi,

I am trying to enter order quantities on the trade window. When I type certain numbers, it instead changing the presets of my horizontal lines behind the trade window or does nothing.

Any advice on how to fix this but maintain my line presets would be appreciated.

Thanks,

This would indicate that you have set single number keyboard shortcuts for menu commands. Those keyboard shortcuts are global no matter what window in Sierra Chart is active.

That is correct. Is there any way to create different number keys for the trade window as over 100 of my tool shortcuts are built upon single number keyboard shortcuts? Maybe like shft+5 = 5 in order qty.

No we really do not have a solution to this at this time.

Alright. The num keys do work when you want to change a limit order qty on the chart, however the . does not work.

Following up on this. Do you know why the ( . ) period does not work when changing order qualities on the chart? [ie: changing USDJPY Limit buy 1 to limit buy 1.1

I have no shortcut keys for the period

Although Sierra Chart does have internal support for fractional quantities, fractional quantities in general still are not fully supported and really cannot be used.
