    Feature Request: Simple Keybind order placement

    Im sure this is something that has been requested in other forum posts, but it is a feature I think most short time frame traders would use. I also feel that it should be fairly straight forward to implement.

    My idea for a keybind entry is simply to place the order at the level the mouse is hovering on. There could be 4 simple options for these keybinds, or more if you chose to make it more complicated and more customizable, so each could be bound to separate keys. The options would be buy stop market, buy limit, sell stop market, sell limit. Of course the entries would fail if you tried to place an inappropriate order, say a buy stop market below the current price. Otherwise, the order would simply be placed where the mouse rests.

    This would be especially useful to me as I have many drawing tools bound to mouse keys that I can activate in less than a second, much faster than right clicking and finding the correct option to choose in the menu. I find that I occasionally enter a tick or two from the price I intended because I feel I have to rush to start the order placement process of right clicking to enter in time. This would save thousands of short time frame traders seconds per order, leading to a higher success rate, improving your trader's profitability.

    Thank you for considering my request.

    Hello dontstall,

    Thank you for your suggestion.

    I have added a vote for you to a current feature request to create hot keys for order placement at the mouse cursor point. This request is being tracked under the number SFT-2386.

    As with all feature requests, interest is tracked before implementation is considered, so we cannot offer an ETA or promise of fulfillment. If implemented, it will be noted in the Release Notes page of the Help Guide.

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