HOT KEYS: Buy and Sell Orders

[JAVIER LLORDEN]

Good morning,
I need help on a specific issue.

I have coded in NT8, 3 Hot Keys, to execute my buy and sell orders, which I use regularly.
They are the following:

- Buy to Market = ALT + 1
- Sell to Market = ALT + 3
- Exit = ALT + 2

Attached is an image of the 3 current configurations. Sorry my platform is Spanish language (my native language).

None of the above works for me. I do not know the cause.
2 questions:

1. Please can you recommend me which would be the best Hot Keys option that can work properly to execute orders ?

1. An idea has come to my mind, is the possibility that you may have information from other traders which are the most common or logical Hot Keys to use and that I can adapt to that configuration ?

Thank you very much for your help and happy weekend .
Best regards.

Hello Javier,

Thanks for the post.

First, the language is no problem. If you weren't aware, we do provide full Spanish support via email, but not on the forum. You can always contact us at PlatformSupport[at]NinjaTrader[dot]com and we would be happy to provide support in your native language.

That being said, unfortunately we couldn't provide you with advice on which Hot Keys to use, although of course other forum users can chime in if they have any recommendations.

As for the Hot Keys not working, I suspect you have not enabled Order Entry Hot Keys in the Options menu yet. To do so, go to Tools->Options->Trading (Herramientas->Opciones->Trading) from the Control Center. Check the box next to 'Utilice hot keys para la entrada de ordenes', as shown in the screenshot below (click to expand it):




For English-Speaking users, you would check 'Use Hot Keys for order entry', shown below:
