quickly entering orders similar to thinkorswim active trader tab

[memyselfandhai]

Hello!

Is there a feature for NT8 or plug in that allows for a similar feature to thinkorswim's active trader tab? With the active trader tab, you can enter an order at a specific price with one click. I know with NT8 you can right click on the chart and then select the order type, but in fast moving markets, it'd be nice to be able to submit the trade with one click. Alternatively, do y'all have any suggestions on how to enter stop orders more quickly than right clicking on the chart?

Thanks!

Hello memyselfandhai,

Within NinjaTrader you can use the SuperDOM window for order entry which is similar to the window you displayed in your attached screenshot. We have a video publicly available at the link below that goes over opening and submitting orders within the SuperDOM window.

Thanks for the fast response Chris!

Is there a way that the price level I hover over gets highlighted on a price chart? This is useful when wanting to trigger trades at specific support/resistance levels. Thanks!

Unfortunately this option is not available by default and would require custom programming. Would you be interested in information on consultants that can code this project for you?

Gotcha. I'll give it a go and see if I can whip up an add on. Thanks again and have a great weekend!
