How do you move a stop loss with hotkeys?

[[email protected]]

Once an order is filled (with predetermined target & stop loss),
I would like to be able to move quickly (up/down) ---but manually!--- my stop loss,
with the help of one or many hotkeys,
(with, for instance, a 5-tick-gap each time)
in order to protect my profits.

Is this possible?

Hello,

Thanks for the note.

You can modify the last order placed with hotkeys.

Please see this help guide page on setting up hotkeys. You will see that "Increase last order" and "Decrease last order" are available as options in the Order entry section of the Hotkeys menu.

Hotkeys

Hi ChrisL !

I tried...
It work fine before an order is triggered.

But once the order is filled,
it seems to be a different matter !

I want to be able to move my stop loss after the order has been filled.
Is that possible ?

Hello,

Thanks for the reply.

I will submit a feature request to allow individual orders to be selected and modified with hotkeys. If you are using an ATM strategy, note the Trailing Stop feature. This will make your stop trail the position automatically:

I will update this thread once I receive the feature tracking ID.

Thanks in advance for your patience.

Hi,

Is there any update on adding the feature to move the SL and TP with keyboard keys?

Hello aseef,

Thank you for your note.

This Feature has not been implemented and unforutnaly I am unable to give a timeline of if or when it will be implemented.

When new feature requests are implemented, you'll find a description of the new features in the release notes:

Hello, apparently the topic has been pending for a while now. I wonder if it's possible to adjust the stop loss level with keyboard commands

Hello rOllir,

This feature has not been implemented however I have added your vote.

The tracking number is SFT-1109.

Please let us know if we may be of any further assistance.

Here we are one year later and it is still not possible to move stop loss with a hot key. I have been using NT for 14 years and it has never been possible to move a stop loss unless you use an ATM strategy and then at least you can move it to Breakeven.
You can code your own key setup but really you should not have to in 2024. See here for an example of key listening.
Whilst I am on it another weirdness is increase/ decrease last order price.
Does NOT work if you put the order in through an indicator script. Why is that?
Surely an order is an order in the OrdersCollection however it gets there?
