I am looking for a way to enter stop orders faster. I use Ninja Trader on a MacBook Pro and it works and runs fantastic. I place orders with Chart Trader with a two finger tap and then place a buy stop or sell stop where I want to enter. Unfortunately this can happen really fast in the market so I would like a way to operate chart trader that would allow a simple <ctrl> click on the chart to place a buy or sell stop. Don't know of this is possible, but would be very desirable. If it doesn't exist in Ninja could this type of order entry tool be coded? The fact that this is on a mac makes this a bit unique, but should hopefully be possible. Thanks for your thoughts.

You may want to try AutoHotKey. Not sure however it will run on MacBook. See this this post on how to quickly enter an order using keyboard key combination

This thread covers a way to modify ChartTrader; you could probably use the code posted there as the basis for your own modifications.

Anyone ever used Click Trader? I visited the site and requested a trial, but I am a bit nervous that since it is an unknown vendor it could contain some code I don't want on my system? Anyone have experience with this vendor? Their site mentioned nothing about who they are, where they are, etc. I am a bit disappointed because it appears to be exactly what I want this tool to do. Thanks,

The website appears to be down for the last several hours. Not a good sign.

May be this helps:


@RambleDog: When testing the tool, could you tell me whether you can use ATM Strategy or not?
