right click

[Wobbler]

don't know if this has been mentioned before or you can already do it? but i have been experimenting with a new strategy and thought it might be an idea to have a right click feature to place an order. you would select your stake as normal with left click but you could also select a stake with right click which could be shaded a different colour. so say you was looking for a lay you could place your lay bet ( lets say £200) then straight away you could place your back bets with the right click ( say £20) straight away. i know people might say well the stake's are only above the ladder but i feel it may just help keep you with the flow. just a thought.

not sure why you would wish to back with 20 and lay with 200.

you can probablly do this with an autohotkeys script. you can certainly re-map the mouse right click to another another key ie the alt key, and have the alt key launch a script.

[Wobbler]

for scaling out of a position while the price is drifting. i didn't mean lay 200 and then just back for 20, i meant placing in alot more orders further up the ladder. just a case of firing in your closing orders that bit quicker.

[to75ne]

did not realise you meant scaling out.

in principle you could use something like autohotkeys macro recorder, to record the action you would do to select a stake from the stake box's (ie a box with £20 as the stake), then save it as a macro, and then re-assign the mouse right click to to the macro you created, and hopefully everytime you right click the macro with the £20 stake fires and in the blink of an eye, move up to the stake box,s and selectyour 20 pound stake.

but it would seem to me to be a lot of work for little or no advantage.

yeah i maybe should of mentioned scaling out in first example, it sounded right in my head yeah it does sound like alot of work buggering around with macro's. it was a what if moment before. i may have a look at it when i get a minute. thanks for reply to75ne

its worth having a look at autohotkeys it can be useful, for instance i use a script for dundalk and wolves sandbggers.

both tracks can be really volatile and unreadable at a drop of a hat, and i have a script that drops a stop loss 9 ticks away instantly.

have a look you may be able to do it.

I scale out using multiples of a base stake, but obviously that's all on the top of the ladder.

The right click is currently used for putting in a stop loss / market on the ladder.

I like to be able to hover over the selection im trading and just type a number on the keypad and it changes my stakes for fast moving markets. I presume it would just be some ajax or similar programing language to do something like this? It would be a nice addition to the ladder.
