Order size

[tffmd123]

Hello, does anyone have an innovative solution to quickly place orders that includes the order size? NT8 requires you to manually adjust the order size in a tiny box before placing an order. If you trade stocks, you may trade 100 share or 10,000 shares depending on stock price. IB TWS allows hot keys with order size. Nt8 does not. I want to be able to place an order and add just my order size more quickly without leaving NT8. Any suggestions kindly appreciated.

Hello tffmd123,

It is possible to use a custom quantity for order methods that is derived from a calculation.

Are you planning to design something using the Addon development approach or the Strategy approach?

Hi, thanks for your response. The object would be to

Sorry, premature. Rather than calculate on the basis of account size, one idea would be to populate an amount based on stop loss. For example, stock is up 1% and price is $100, low of day is stop so stop is $1 and position size is 100.

an approximation that allowed for a round number would be ideal.

is this possible?

thanks
