using ninja, and i amlooking to create a hot key to entry
what i would like to do is, right click on the price, and instead of moving the mouse to left click a buy or sell stop, i would like to hit a button..crude is just too fast

yep, thats a good idea, but not available in NT i think.

this mouse-context-menue is just too big for fast usage in trading-action.

Those functions are not customizable with the Hot Key Manager, what you can do is use your keyboard:

Sell Limit= right click s + enter
Buy Stop= right click b + enter
Buy Stop Limit= right click ss + enter

It's not one button it's 2 but once you get confident it's faster

I always take my entries in the DOM. If you disable "Confirm order placement" you can enter trades with a single click.

nice trick

, but a bit too much to push ...

some platforms have kind of a button-ladder near the current price, directly on the chart, to klick on + enter orders intuitivly. kind of a dom on the chart.
that can be handled very fast.

maybe a new coding - project for timmyB

waiting for timmyB, you can also use AutoHotkey - Free Mouse and Keyboard Macro Program with Hotkeys and AutoText and configure a one button procedure

Sell Limit= right click s + enter
Buy Stop= right click b + enter
Buy Stop Limit= right click ss + enter

thanX redratsal for pushing in that direction !

here is a little script as example how to do this with AutoHotKey :

Code

                            
!b::   ; >>  Alt   !B:: 



Click up right,

 Send   b  { Enter }



return 





^<::   ; >>  strg   ^<::  



Click up right,

 Send   s  { Enter }



return

This script example uses the following key-combination :

ctrl + < for Selling orders
alt + b for buying orders

if pressing : ctrl plus <
it sends these actions to Ninja :
- right mouseclick plus s plus ENTER

so it checks for your mouseposition at the moment you press the ctrl+<
and at this price-value it sends the sell-order out.

it has to be tested if these keys make sense
in case of ergonomics, its just a first example.

autoHotKey is really fast and worth to have a look at a bit deeper if its
really stable for using this in live trading, but i guess it is

maybe @monpere has some additional tips what to care for if working whith autohotkey. i think he also played with it yet.

here a small "action-video" :
2011-02-18_0810 - maximax07's library

you see, whereever you put your mouse and press the trigger-keys, the orders are sended out imediatly without having to do anything manualy.

Find attached the script with autohotkey:

z=sell limit
x=buy stop

I chose z and x they're easy to reach, if you want to change them just edit the file and replace z and x with other keys.
If you want the exe file without installing autohotkey just pm me. To disactivate the keys you will have to exit the application.

what does the "sleep 100" do in the script ?
