Request new Hot Keys for Chart Trader Off, Lock Price Panel

[llanqui]

Chart Trader Off , could simply be a toggle between the three states, off, on, hidden


I do fast scalping trades, bypass the right mouse click for trade entry and use a custom "click trader" where with control keys, trades are placed at the cursor price with a left mouse click

the result is that sometimes I accidently drag the chart so the new bars are not seen

this causes a problem in fast moving markets

I would like to have a way to lock the price panel from being dragged...the other are OK, the axis, etc

but would like to lock/unlock the price panel drag

I would unlock it mostly for drawing...

Hello llanqui,

Thank you for your patience.

On the subject of toggling between the Chart Trader options, you could set this up as a hot key if you'd like by going to Control Center > Tools > Hot Keys > Chart Tab. For more information:

Thank you for using NinjaTrader.

yes, thank you....I'm now using the hotkeys to enable/disable chart trader.

on the other...It would help me tremendously if I could lock the price panel with some type of hot key so that small clicks do not move the panel....I would like to be very intentional to move the price panel, but it is difficult if I cannot lock it. Now just a small click and mouse movement totally moves the price panel....not good for scalpers...

thanks
