Better order entry?

[SSTSLLC]

Team:

So I use the chart trader component of NT and what I would prefer as an order entry technique is to place my mouse cursor on the price I wish to enter and then press and hold a modifier key like "control" to buy or "option" to sell and then hit the left mouse button to place a corresponding limit order to buy or a stop limit order to sell at that specific price. For me, this would be much faster and more precise then the current method of right clicking the chart for the order menu and then selecting the order. Trade Station allows you to place orders this way and I find it much easier than the NT method.

Does anyone have a script for this or something similar?

Thanks for the help

Hello SSTSLLC,

Thanks for your post.

There is no option available in NinjaTrader for submitting orders exactly as you have described.

You could consider using Hot Keys for order entry which would allow you to submit an order to a specified price by clicking a combination of keys on the keyboard, such as Ctrl+Shift+Z.

See the help guide pages linked below for information about using Hot Keys for order entry.
