I like to enter at the closing price of the previous bar - limit order, when entering a trade. Sell close of prev bar limit if entering short, buy close price of previous bar limit if long. Can i create some sort of short cut for this, hot keys or an indicator???

It just takes to long dragging mouse.



Thank you anyone.........

i do this al the time,Place a limt buy below the market, say 10 ticks.It needs to be far enough out of the way so you dont get triggered by chop.Then, just as the bar is getting ready to close, click and drag theorder to whatever price you wants, then click it in when the candle closes.You might get an error code if to close to the market.Or, you could drag that buy limit to 2 ticks under the candle close, in hopes of geting a better fill.Hope this helps
