Navigation and platform shortcuts

Global shortcuts keep your hands on the keyboard: open search, toggle theme, launch the advanced order form, or open the command center without reaching for the mouse.

  • Cmd/Ctrl+K: search asset
  • Cmd/Ctrl+J: toggle color scheme
  • Cmd/Ctrl+I: advanced order form
  • Cmd/Ctrl+B: command center

Navigation and platform shortcuts

One-key order control

Inside the order form, single keys set direction, market/limit/stop pricing, size presets, quantity nudge, strategy mode, and exit-flow selection, then Cmd/Ctrl+Enter submits.

  • B / S: buy / sell direction
  • M / L / P: market / limit / stop
  • Z / X / C / D: small / medium / large / preferred size
  • 1–4: TSP / OCO / TRIM / TRIMMER exit flows

Pre-built combinations

The Combinations tab documents shortcut sequences like B+Z+M for buy-small-market, including TSP, OCO, TRIMMER, and OTOCO variants, the same workflow prop desks expect.

  • Multi-key sequences for full ticket templates
  • TRIMMER and OCO combo examples
  • Matches power-trader muscle memory
  • Works with manual or hybrid automation flows

Visual generator

The Generate tab builds a six-character hotkey from direction, sizing, pricing, lock, strategy, and exit flow so you can design and save shortcuts without memorizing every mapping.

  • Step-by-step shortcut builder
  • Copy-ready combination strings
  • Turn on in Settings before shortcuts activate
  • Guided demo available for onboarding
