Please add ability to CANCEL an order from the trade DOM by clicking on the existing order in the Bid Size/Buy - Ask Size/Sell column, similar to CTS-T4 or CQG QTrader. Options Requested: Left Click Cancel OR Right Click Cancel, whichever is easiest to implement. Thanks, sds

I would like to renew this request.

The new Working Orders DOM column is useful, but it does not fully solve the workflow issue for fast discretionary trading.

The preferred behavior would be to allow cancel/modify directly from the existing Bid Size/Buy and Ask Size/Sell columns.

Example:

Click Bid Size/Buy or Ask Size/Sell at a price to place the order.
If a working order already exists at that price, clicking the displayed order in that same column should allow cancel or modify instead of requiring mouse movement to a separate Working Orders area.

Ideally this could be configurable, for example:

Left click existing order = Cancel
Right click existing order = Modify

This is similar to the workflow in CQG QTrader and CTS T4.

For short-term scalping, the main benefit is keeping liquidity display, order placement, and order management in the same visual location, rather than having to move attention and the mouse to a separate Working Orders column.

Since Sierra already has the cancel/modify logic in the Working Orders column, it seems like extending that behavior to the combined Bid Size/Buy and Ask Size/Sell columns would significantly improve DOM ergonomics. Thanks
