Booktrader hotkeys or buttons for sizes

Discussion in 'Interactive Brokers' started by alphahunter, Sep 26, 2020.

  1. Anyone know how to configure an quick way to:

    A: toggle sizes for presets without having to manually go into the box and retype the quality (often these few seconds matter). I would like to be able to click a ‘button’ or key shortcut to toggle to a new default size, or perhaps even change my click size by a factor of 50%,200%,etc..

    B: I am also looking for a way to do the above but for ‘display size’- this takes significantly more time as now I am continuously going into the presets to change display sizes intra day- there’s not even a box on the booktrader front as for tradedsize.

    thanks

    Did you try the hot key for increasing-decreasing size? Also you could try to "pre-set" the amounts to different hot keys and use those to select your size.
     
  3. Is This BookTrader thing implmented into IB TWS , is the same Book Trader that used to be a 3rd Party add-on to IB around in early 2000s ?

    You might be thinking of Bracket trader, which does do ratio of positions. Book trader is a module that is built into TWS.
