How to exit or open a position with a market order without the need of cancel an existing limit oder first, if in -Symbol Settings- Trade Position limit is set to 1?
So, If i change my mind and want to get filled immediately, I dont want to cancel the existing limit order first and then place the market order, instead SC should cancel the limit order automatically when I place the market order.
I dont want to increase the trade position limit to avoid this problem, because this could lead accidentally to a position greater than 1.

I appreciate your help.
Thanks

The solution I have found is to move my existing limit order towards the price so far that it gets filled at Market.
Under Customize Keyboard Shortcuts--Trading Keyboard Shortcuts-- Non-attached Limit Order Tick Up/ Non-attached Limit Order Tick Down will do the job.
Problem solved.
