How to program hotkey that places limit at cursor position

[Jake Darby]

I would like when I press my limit hotkey to place the order where the cursor is. How can I do this?

Hello Jake Darby,

Thank you for your note.

This would require you to custom program an addon. Attached is an example named PreventInstrumentOverlaySelectorWithTextBoxExample _NT8 that demonstrates detecting key presses.

As well as a link to an indicator that uses this type of code to detect a combination of key presses (modifiers).

This thread has an example of getting the price from the mouse's X/Y coordinates:

Basically you'd need to detect the keypresses, get the mouse position and retrieve the price it's at. You would then need to access the Account class to get the account and submit an order at the detected price.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.

Is there a plan to get this feature implemented in future updates. I mean when right clicking on the chart it already has the price at the current mouse position. I just want to hotkey that.
