Order Entry Keypad

If anyone is interested in a programmable keypad for order execution I have found a great source.
I created a custom layout and graphics to interface with IB’s TWS.
See the attached file.

I looked for a vendor of a tool like this for quite some time and eventually put together my own solution.
I could make them for other people if anyone is interested.


Best regards,

you print your own label and stick them on your keypad?

 

if it's for free, it's for me

 

I designed and printed the graphics then placed them under the transparent key-caps.

The keypad itself is not a standard numeric keypad, each key can store up to 19 keystrokes of your choice.

I had originally used F keys for shortcuts and hotkeys but there are not enough and I need the F keys for Tradestation shortcuts.

I also like to use key combinations that are unlikely to get typed accidentally... I have had the bad experience of entering positions unintentionally before.

 

Who hasn't?

 

I can already see the Liquidate ALL button going off a little too often. Gotta put a glass shield over that one!
Good idea though.

 

That's a nice piece of work, mercurial, not much use to the average trader but nice creative thinking. What's the expense for one in USD?

 

I guess it would require more keys for stock trading if you take in to consideration all of the order routing options.
