Drag TP/SL on CHART for Pending Limit Orders

Simply asking what every platform is able to do.

I simply want to Right-Click on the chart, choose the Limit order, then once it’s on my chart, move the SL/TP by dragging the handles like I can when I place a Market Order. With TopStepX, we can’t put in Limit orders on different Symbols and walk away. Relying on a one-bracket-fits-all settings isn’t cutting it.
EX: If I want a Limit on NQ with 1 Mini and a $400 SL and $800 TP I should be able to Right-Click on the chart, choose the Limit Order, then drag TP/SL right on the chart like I can with any Market Order. Then do the same for GC and 3 Micros for a $200 SL and $400 TP. So I could now have 2 Limit orders on two different symbols with 2 different contract types and can go get breakfast knowing my orders are in place.
And even if I didn’t want 2 different symbols, I should still be able to put in a Limit order, set the TP/SL and walk away from PC. - without going into the Brackets settings each and every time. (I REALLY don’t like the one-bracket-fits-all settings - it should be on a per-chart basis)

Just check out Quantower as a GREAT template to follow. Inventing new ways of doing things is just causing headaches. :(

    Being able to see the dollar amounts and have them movable as shown below prior to order execution is crucial.

    Essential for sure. I prefer to manage everything from the Dom as well, but still just see the chart
