Entry Offset for Trade Window Buttons

Is there a way to do the following with the Trade Window Buy/Sell buttons...

When I hit one of the BUY buttons (your choice of which one, such as BUY BID), I'd like to place a buy limit order at current price - 2 ticks.
When I hit one of the SELL buttons (again, your choice of one, such as SELL ASK), I'd like to place a sell limit order at current price + 2 ticks.

I still want the order to [Use Attached Orders], and all the T1, T2, STOP, etc. parameters associated with this.

The only difference from what I'm doing now is that I'd like a preset offset to automatically be added to or subtracted from market price.

I can't do this by left-clicking the mouse on prices and making mouse selections, because this process is too slow for what I need to do...

I need to be able to have my mouse hovering over a button, and as soon as I click it (buy or sell), the above actions to take place.

I don't care if it's a custom button, as long as I can do this.

Please advise... thank you.

You would have to do this as either a Custom Control Button or your own button. It can not be programmed through the existing Buy/Sell on the Trading Window.

Refer to the following for the introduction to creating custom studies for Sierra Chart:
