I am relatively new to Interactive Brokers and have been looking all over the place trying to figure out a way to set up a hotkey to sell an open position by a percentage. With Interactive Brokers reputation for being Day Trader friendly, I can't see them not having an option to set up hotkeys to sell 25% or 50% of a position to facilitate scaling out so I am assuming I am just not finding it. Thanks in advance.
I did a "Close 50% position" bouton using "reverse position" . by default reverse position is set to reverse 100% of you position.. so if you have 100 share, it will sell 200 share to reverse.. but changing that setting to 25%, when you use it, it will reverse only 25% of your 100 share position, by selling 50share. if you want to create a 25% close position you can create a 10-15% reverse position setting. i did a bouton in the book trader, and create a label "close 50%" hope that help. i imagine you can create a hotckey using the same reverse position
