Hi y?all, I am newly ?elite? and wanted to contribute something to the forum, so here?s something that many will find helpful regardless of markets traded or charts used:
I stumbled onto some hardware that?s been immensely helpful in keeping chart notes and I thought I could pass on the idea. I think it?s something made for gamers, so those of us who are old farts wouldn?t know about this unless told. The idea is to multiply your hotkey capacity with a programmable keyboard. I?m sure there are varieties and different manufacturers, but mine has 48 keys times three profiles, so that?d be 144 programmable keys. I?m happy with just one profile, so 48 keys to add to the ten I have on my trackball mouse. I have all but four of these keys assigned, so it is getting tight, but boy, what a help it is to hotkey my way through drawing on my charts! I use Ninjatrader, so in addition to the hotkey keyboard, I use Ocean Trading Indicators Easy Duplicator and Template Switcher to make drawing even easier.
