For you guys who use hot keys when using IB's interface, how do you set up a short sale? Thanks! Best, Jim
Jim, I just set up a sell limit hotkey...nothing special. I believe IB uses "sell" for both selling a long or shorting and lets the software sort it out. The great thing was that I never had to worry about an uptick, my order would stay in until the condition was met or I cancelled. Most of the time the execution was just as fast as going long. Now, with futures, that is not an issue and I have kept the same hotkey setup. Kirk
