Arg Posted September 24, 2021 Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 I bought using the trade ticket buy button. The order is filled and I can see the change in gain on the chart. If I then press my sell hotkey nothing happens. If I mouse click on the trade ticket window then the hotkey will work. It seems as if the window becomes deactivated after clicking the buy button. Is there a way around this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Medved Posted September 24, 2021 Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 Well yeah - when you click on a control on a window, it becomes active... Hotkeys are executed on the active window. But - your hotkey can be executed on tradeticket as well, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But why does the tradeticket window become deactivated? I press the buy button on the tradeticket window - and don't click anywhere else, so I would expect the tradeticket window to still be active. Something seems to be deactivating it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Medved Posted September 24, 2021 Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 Ah I misunderstood I thought you were saying some other window got deactivated. I will check on what you say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted September 24, 2021 Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 by default MT is set to bring up transactions window when an order is placed. I am sure that is what is causing the focus issue for you. Go to SETTINGS / TRADING / GENERAL - UN-Check the box for "Show Account View / Transactions after submitting new order". That will fix your issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
