Nice 10-key pad for scalping. I don't do much scalping, but what is the difference between to CLR and Cancel order? Thanks.

Market is slow right now, and I just got this finally, so got curious what others are using... my old markers on my regular keyboard using electrical tape have all smudged away ages ago, and all the buttons are now just red, blue, green, black LOL... so I finally decided to upgrade my setup to an "anti-smudge" system hahaha

Had to modify the #5 key cap to add a bump, as I need to orient myself when not looking at the keys while having my hand on it via finger touch sense... plus I use CLR (clear orders) VERY often...

Hope that power hotkey does not shutdown your machine

What platform are you using, NT8?

CLR clears all the cumulative bid/ask trade volumes

Hahaha, yeah no kidding. Im using SierraChart at the moment... looking to move to TT at some point, for the autospreader... hard to do that, though, as Sierra DOM is really good...

Power key is rather an On/Off key to turn keyboard trading on/off...
