    emailed you. As for Level II, not yet. right now the order has to be selected or hovered over (on chart), which is not relevant on Level II. Still working on enhancements

    Thank you for the extension of ChangeOrder action to work in Level 2. 
    It works fine, I have only one interesting phenomenom:

    NewPrice:
    +1  it works
    TicketLimitPrice+0.1  it works
    +0.1   for me it doesn't work: Invalid expression message
     

  9. New hotkey action request

    However, there is a little problem with that solution.

    I created 2 hotkeys to increease and decrease the limit price by 0.10 cents. So when I press the arrows, I can move the price by 1 cents, with these hotkeys  by 10 cents.

    The hotkey: LimitPrice= TicketLimitPrice+0.1 

    It works well until I use a stop order.  I have a separate hotkey to initiate a stop order with limit price. I press it and then I want to modify the ticketlimitprice. But in this case the another hotkey which modifies the limit price set the order type back to normal Limit order overwrite my initial Stop Limit order... That is because I have to set the OrderType in the hotkey configuration.  Recently I wanted to create a stop order but accidentally became a normal order and sold my shares immediately. The same problem with my Route changing hotkey.

    In essence, the separate Actions like TradeQty is a cleaner solution, because don't bother with the current order type. 
    Maybe the suggested separate action could be a good solution for these. 

    What do you think?

     

  10. Separate Clock Request

    in Feature Requests

    Posted

    Hello Jerry,

    A separate clock window will be avaiiable at some point?

    I can't see well the tiny clock on the dashboard status bar and I use a monitor without  the Windows taskbar so I need the clock (my time zone is different anyway, so the Windows taskbar  doesn't help either).

    I really like the countdown timer, It would be great to see it in a larger size as well.

    It should be sizable if possible. 

    Thank you!

     

  12. Small suggestion for improvement.

    Specific keyboard is required. There are a lot of keyboard, especially gamer keyboards have real or virtual macro keys. They are programmable with a software packed with the keyboard.
    If you trade frequently I recommend to get a keyboard with macro keys.

    Like this:

    Amazon.com: Razer Ornata Chroma Gaming Keyboard: Hybrid Mechanical Key Switches - Customizable Chroma RGB Lighting - Individually Backlit Keys - Detachable Plush Wrist Rest - Programmable Macro Functionality : Video Games

    Hello Jerry,

    I place my orders from Level2 with hotkey (send=false) and then using keys to adjust the order and after submit with Buy or Sell without using the mouse. With tab key and cursor keys and select the desired items I can adjust all fields, but this is very slow and I have to be very careful not to miss it.

    What if this could be filled by hotkeys?
    Your hotkey system is very complex and flexible, I really love it, so I was thinking about how could be incorporated into it.

    My suggetion is a new Hotkey Action:  ChangeTicket
    This Action could be modify the values when we are in Level2 (or Trade Ticket) window.

    There will be new variables:
    TicketOrderType
    TicketAction
    TicketQuantity
    TicketLimitPrice  (this already exists)
    TicketStopLimitPrice (this already exists)
    TicketRouting


    When I create a new ChangeTicket Action then all these variables set to default.
    If I want to create a hotkey to set the Route to EDGA, I set    
    TicketRouting = "EDGA" and leave all other variables to default. When I press the hotkey standing on the level 2 window, the Route field changes to EDGA, everything else remains what it is at that moment.

    If I want a hotkey to increase the Quantity field by 200, I set:
    TicketQuantity = TicketQuantity + 200
    And when I press the hotkey it always increases by 200.

    If I want a hotkey to increase the limit price and set the routing at the same time:
    TicketLimitPrice = TicketLimitPrice + 0.25
    TicketRouting =if TicketLimitPrice>Ask+.05 then 'EDGA' else 'BATS'  

    So my first step to press a hotkey which is a regular Order action (which doesn't Send the order), and after that I could use this new feature to tailor the order before submitting without using the mouse.  But possibly omitting the regular order action these ticket actions could be prepare an order itself.

    Please, consider my suggestion,
    Thank you very much!

  19. Level 2 new color set request

    in Feature Requests

    Posted

    Hello,
    i use and will use heavily the Level 2 windows to trade so it is important to set a convenient color scheme to show. I know that no possibiliy to set custom color for Level 2 window. I have a light layout but basically all colorsets are adjusted to a darker mood. I see Dark Blue color set but why no Light Blue? That is what I really want.
    Is there any chance to built-in?
    Or is there a way to edit an existing one according to my needs?

    Just something like this.

    Thanks!
