Hotkeys - Moving Stop Loss in Chart

[horacioofman]

HI,

I am trying to find a way, to move a stop loss (or a take profit) on an open position with a hotkey combination to the current mouse position on a chart.
Is this possible to do?

Thanks

Hi, thanks for posting. If you are using the hotkey system built into the platform, there are hot key options to break even a position or an ATM strategy. The break even position will move any stop order for an open position to the break even price level. The other solution is to make a script that will move it, which will require at least an intermediate level of C# programming to complete. The script can take keyboard input by ignoring the default text input action with PreviewKeyDown, or the stop can be moved to a price level calculated from X/Y mouse coordinates. See here for examples:
