Keyboard Commands for Placing and Managing Trading Orders

Summary

This document describes a keyboard-driven tool for sending, modifying, and closing or deleting trading orders. Its examples focus on forex orders and show that a command can specify a side, volume, price, stop loss, and take profit. A final execution key submits the command, while separate keystrokes clear the input.

The order type depends on the requested side and price relative to the current ask or bid: an order at the market price is treated as a market order, while prices above or below the market map to stop or limit orders according to direction. The modification feature is limited to stop-loss and take-profit settings. These are operational instructions rather than a trading strategy; the document provides no performance evidence, and it does not discuss validation, rejected orders, slippage, or platform-specific execution risks.

Key ideas

• The tool accepts keyboard commands to send, adjust, and close or delete orders.
• A submitted order can include its direction, volume, entry price, stop loss, and take profit.
• The requested price relative to the ask or bid determines whether the order is a market, stop, or limit order.
• Order modification is limited to changing stop-loss and take-profit levels.
• The document explains command mechanics but offers no evidence about strategy performance or execution quality.
