Hello UnSuccessfulTrader,

Making hotkeys would technically be undocumented and not offically supported, but is possible to do with an indicator that captures keypresses.

Below is a link to an example of capturing keypresses.

Can Wav file be activated when order entry hot key is pressed? - NinjaTrader Support Forum

General platform technical support for NinjaTrader 8.

And an example of adding buttons.
