HOT Keys for limit orders

Feature RequestPlatform

Hello support team,

i would request to upgrade your keyboard only hotkeys to place limit orders at any price i want

for example in trade station platform they have customization for hotkeys that is keyboard trading are as follows :

TAB key to select current price,

UP & DOWN arrow keys to move the price Buy or the sell side respectively.

ENTER key to execute the trade

DELETE to cancel the last executed trade.

If i compare your hotkeys are pretty basic when it comes to hotkeys.

we have team of quick scalper who execute the trade in seconds and minutes with only hotkeys, We trade almost 700 trades every day and currently they are with trade station and ready to move to you guys if you do customization for hotkeys

        Thank you, some ideas if possible to add:

        Alt + F or something go flat (all accounts), or cancel orders

        Customize Selectable Hotkey combination for a few actions?

        Thanks, could you please get with the team and meet with RIPS?(https://www.youtube.com/@MarketClubhouse) a guest on their show, he mentioned he has an specific hotkey request he's working on for another platform(NT), and they would enjoy him able to use TopstepX when he visits.

      yes! being able to place order at the bid/ask like on quantower would be great
      ctrl is bid

      alt is ask

      s for sell

      b for buy

      if you press b or s without ctrl or alt, it executes a market order

      this is pretty much the only way I trade
