Hello,

I am attaching a screenshot which will explain what I want to achieve.

I want an order entry button either on the Super DOM or any keyboard shortcut which can automatically place orders when pressed from either top or bottom of the bar.

In the screenshot, the low of that bar is 6710.00 - so as an example - I want to place a buy stop/sell stop 'x' number of ticks/points away from the bottom or top when I press that automated button on DOM or by pressing a keyboard shortcut.

The important thing here is, I don't want to place an order from the current price - I want to place the order from either bottom or top of the bar. That's what I am looking for.

Thank you.

There are several on the NT App Share

This one can be customized so the buttons can be at the top, bottom, middle, center, etc.
It is the LongShortButtons one
