Hello. I would like to place orders manually by the chart trader if possible if not please advice me how to place such orders?

Thank you for your reply.

Orders can be submitted to chart trader via the right toolbar buttons, or via right click in the price data when data is being received. I've linked below an video from our YouTube channel that goes over using chart trader.

Hello. Thanks for your reply
I would like to place an one—click order with fixed number of ticks below or above last bar closed price. How can I realize it with Nt8

[NinjaTrader_EricB]

Thank you for your reply.

There is not a one-click option that would accomplish this at this time. Hot keys can be set based on plus/minus ticks from the current price, but orders based on the last close would require custom programming.

See below for setting custom hot keys for order entry if needed.
