Hi

Is it possible to configure the left click of the mouse to be a limit order?
so if i click below the price it will create a limit buy, and if i click above the price it will create a limit sell.
Is that possible?
Thanks

Refer to the following:
Global Trade Settings Windows: Order Types (Global Settings >> Chart DOM Settings)

And also be aware of the following setting:
Chart Settings: Extend Chart DOM Across Entire Chart When Using Ctrl(Buy) / Shift(Sell) (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Trading menu)

Hi John

These settings are for the DOM, i am looking for the settings to work on the chart, not the DOM.
Meaning, when i left click on the chart it enters a limit order, where can i find these settings?

Also, how can i change the colour of my position line? its showing in red, same colour as my limit sells above it, and its confusing

Thanks

The second link we gave you above gives you the ability to left-click on the chart and have the order sent. You have to hold down the Ctrl or Alt key to make it work.

There is no other option to put an order in by left-clicking on the chart. You can right-click and select the order type.

With regards to the color of the position line, refer to the following setting to change what determines the color:
Global Trade Settings Windows: Coloring Of Position Line Based On (Global Settings >> Chart Trade Settings >> General >> Chart Position Line)

And then you can change the actual color in the Graphics Settings by the following item and the one after it:
Customizing Fonts, Colors, Line Styles, and Widths for Chart Trading, Chart DOM, and Trade DOM: Chart Trading Position Line Long/Profit

Also note the Chart Trading Order Line options above this section as well.
