Support Team, Please seriously consider re-configuring the Chart Trading - Trade Entry process. Please consider using Keyboard Key + Mouse Click combinations. For example: Ctrl + Left Click (Above the Ask) Buy Stop Market @ selected price Ctrl + Left Click (Below the Ask) Buy Limit @ selected price Alt + Left Click (Above the Bid) Sell Limit @ selected price Alt + Left Click (Below the Bid) Sell Stop Market @ selected price Shift + Left Click (Above the Ask) Buy Stop-Limit @ selected price (stop is at selected price, limit is set by offset amount set in the Chart Trading settings Shift + Left Click (Below the Bid) Sell Stop-Limit @ selected price (stop is at selected price, limit is set by offset amount set in the Chart Trading settings I understand that this is a feature request and may or may not be implemented. I also acknowledge the likelihood of no response to this request. I do have question, however. Can this feature be programmed by a 3rd Party for my use?

Support Team, I am familiar with and I currently utilize the Chart DOM consistently. However, Keyboard Key + Mouse Click programming would be my preference, so I can keep my eyes on the Chart. My preference in Right Fill Space creates too much distance for my eyes to travel once a trade entry is determined. Thank you for your response. Please seriously consider this suggestion.

What we can do is add a new Chart Setting that when enabled and when the Chart DOM is enabled on the chart and you hold the Control key for buy orders or the Alt key for sell orders, left click on the chart, the click will be considered as if it was in the buy or sell column of the Chart DOM respectively. In this case the particular order action as set by the Trade >> Chart DOM Settings will be performed. So in other words it is like extending the Chart DOM functionality across the entire chart. This is the best we can do. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users. Try to keep your questions brief and to the point.

This was added months ago. Here is the documentation for the relevant setting: Chart Settings: Extend Chart DOM Across Entire Chart When Using Ctrl(Buy) / Shift(Sell) (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Trading menu) We also see you are using Rithmic. We recommend that you use this service if you are performing live trading: Sierra Chart / Trading Technologies Futures Order Routing Service We can help you with the transition.
