  1. Still setting up my trading platform for IB. New trader, intraday & stocks only. Maybe there is a list of common HotKeys somewhere? Thanks.

    Most Trader start from a standpoint of, this is what I do manually, how can I do that with a hotkey vs the other way around.
     
  3. Yeah, I get that. I just wanted to be a bit more organized and efficient.
     
  4. I guess you'll have the basics. Just don't forget the most important ones (design them yourself) like reverse position, stoploss adjust +1%, market close position.
     
  5. Thanks. I hadn't thought about stop adjust. I have just been clicking and dragging it up on the chart, according to how the chart is looking. A 1% increase hotkey sounds like a good idea.
     
  6. I only use it to be fast, I fine tune the stops usually to the swings. But when momentum comes you gotta be ready.
