I take intraday entries with a need for quick order entry and a stop-loss placed at the time of the entry order. It seems to me that the order type 'trigger order' is the only way to do this, and since I want to decide my stop-level and position sizing on the particular setup, I prob. can't do the entry with a hotkey. Ideally then, it would be a default setting to save a few clicks at each entry.

My current solution in Das is:
Using 'trigger order' -> manually entering entry price + changing size if needed -> setting values for the trigger order (stop order)

-Is there something I'm missing there?
-The trigger order style has a lot of fields showing which I don't need. Can these be removed?
-For the trigger order, I have to manually set the direction (buy/sell), can't this be set to default to the opposite of the primary order? It's not good to have to set this every time while in a hurry and risk doubling a position instead of closing it.

If you go their website they actually have a very helpful customer service team that will make the scripts for you.

They've made me 4-5 scripts.

Thanks. In the meantime, they have indeed made me one and it seems to be quite easy to modify to change size, direction and similar.
Much much better customer service than IB.
