Hello backtester831,

The hotkeys created by NinjaTrader are not able to reference bar data on a chart.

Custom hotkeys triggered in a script would be undocumented and is not officially supported, but it would be possible this way.

Below is a link to a script that will give you the information you need.

Thank you, I added that addon for NT8, but not sure where to look further for help. Could you please point me where to look? Is that the correct script?

Hello backtester831,

In this script, the ChartControl.PreviewKeyDown event is being assign an event handler method that prevents the instrument selector overlay from appearing, then checks for the key sent, and triggers an action with the ModifierKeys.Alt and ModifierKeys.Control combination.
