  1. Hi,
    i tried to create hotkeys to send bracket order for future like ES with TWS:
    buy LMT = market-0.05
    sell LMT = market+10
    sell stp = market-5
    When i click on the hot key, it asks for value to enter for buy LMT

    If i create hotkeys to buy stocks it works perfectly.

    Why hotkeys doesn't work with futures?
    I don't have market live.

    Thank you

    Maybe because the ES does not move in .05 increments? Try buy LMT = market-0.25
     
  3. It was just an example, of course ES doesn't move with 0.05%
     
  4. I even did not figure out how to create bracket order with hotkeys because there is no customize tab after you record the hot keys.

    If you do not give a specific example of something that does not work, nobody can help you here, except @def

    You don't even understand how futures work. Who ever mentioned percentages? What is 0.05%? Your stop is -5%? Doh!?
