ATM Strategy Hot Key And/Or Larger Chart Trader Buttons?

[TheNomadicAspie]

Is there a way to use a hot key for the ATM strategy? If not, is there a way to make the buttons larger? I sometimes am slow to hit the buy and sell mkt buttons because of how small they are. Any advice on how to most efficiently place orders? Thinking of using AutoHotKey and programming macros to do it for me, but wanted to see if I was missing a feature first.

Hello TheNomadicAspie,

Thank you for your post.

There is not currently a hot key for specific ATM orders that you can configure in NinjaTrader, however if you'd like i would be happy to add this as a feature request.

There is also not a way to scale the overall size of the buttons, however you can change the width of this panel by left clicking and dragging on the separator between the chart trader and the chart itself.

We're not able to provide specific trading advice as to best practices as this will depend heavily on your workspaces, layout and trading strategy.

I would very much like to add this too. It is essential to have a Hot Key to switch ATM strategies. Can you please also add my name to the request so maybe it adds more weight?

Please add me to the list for ATM hotkeys also/ SFT-2386. I use hotkeys to submit orders, but have to keep a basic entry window open with tabs to select the ATM I want to use.

Hi,

I like the idea of hotkeys for ATM. Please add my vote.

By the way, there should be a centralize system to gather feature suggestions and then tally votes by users "liking" or voting for that feature or something of that sort.
