Has anyone seen one of these. I want to print one out to put next to computer for quick reference.

I thought I had seen a listing once and now I can't find it. Tried searching here and the NT forum and the NT manual.

Don't recall ever seeing one for Ninja. Ninja support claimed in June of 2008 that they had not created any grouping of shortcuts or hotkeys for NT. A request was made of them to create them in July of 2008 but I have not seen anything subsequent to that. There might be something in the upcoming NinjaTrader Version 7 once it goes public but I am not sure that has been on their high priority list of features.

Thanks Banbrooke, that's exactly what I was after.

Anyone else should add to the list and it will provide a useful reference for all of us - at least the NT users.

You can print a current listing of your Hot Key List by right clicking the Hot Key Manager (Tools > Hot Key Manager) within the grid section (the right side of the window) and then selecting, "Print Hot Keys."
