Very cool. In reference to hotkeys executing in undesired windows. Here's how I determine if the active window is a Ninjtrader Chart:
WinGetTitle, title, A ;### Get Active Window title
if ( RegExMatch(title, ".*?\(.*?\).*?\d+/\d+/\d+") ) {
MsgBox This is an NT Chart
;### Execute chart window code
}
Not sure I understand, you want to place a limit order at the current market price, or a limit order at the price your crosshair is, or you want to change the lot size of an existing limit order?
Also see post #25, for another option with AutoHotKey, if you have a simple mouse. If your non-programmable mouse has more then 3 buttons, you can also use the software to re-program the additional keys to perform these entry functions with once mouse click, and leave the main buttons for chart navigation.
I simply want to place 3 limit orders of 1 lot each at the same price at my crosshair (effectively 3 limit orders that should not go at mkt) without using the 'change lot' feature; just a simple triple click at the same price. At least with standard NT setting you are asked to change the size of the order with a context menu and not adding a further 1 lot order (without asking further order size or change). Hope this clarifies a bit.
Buy Stop Limit = right click bs + enter, would it not?
I can get Sell Stop Limit to work with right click ss + enter, but with Buy Stop Limit the press of the 'b' key takes you to 'Buy Stop' and if you then press 's' it drops down the menu to 'Show Data Box' as that also starts with 's'.
Any ideas?
PS: I think I solved it - Buy Stop Limit = right click bb + enter
Does any one know how to program a hot key to plot executions or not?
:-D
thanks

In the indicator downloads there is a very nice indy that puts a button on your toolbar and and allows you to turn your executions on and off. It is called Toggle Trades. I think it will be just what you are looking for.
