Hotkey and Qty. field on the DOM, Chart Trader etc.

Five and a half years later. Still looking for those hotkeys to increase and decrease order quantity.

I started this thread in 2015 and I am still waiting for these hotkey features. They are functional for those of us wanting to scalp fast moving instruments out there.
Prop shop traders use hot keys and scalpers sometimes place hundreds of trades in a day. Some of this missing functionality makes Ninja inferior to other platforms and forces placement of orders through other platforms which means missed opportunities for Ninja collecting commissions. I know there might not be huge demand for these features in terms of users but the small percentage of traders that can place large numbers of trades really need these features.

Your request

A AutoHotKey script could get the cursor to the QuantitySelector field so you wouldn't have to focus the mouse in it everytime.

Thanks Paul,

I went down the Auto Hotkey path before and had various issues (might be my programming ability or unwillingness to learn yet another language).

I will check the other links you included. I just think its disappointing that there is no inbuilt functionality for things like quantity. Even if it were just 5 pre-set quantities, which would be better than nothing. Possibly a button for sell half position etc.

Cheers.
