stop limit order in superdom

[T4M]

Is it possible to place a stop limit order in the superdom?

By example:
price is 1504.00, I want to get long at 1505.00 as soon as it hits 1505.00

Hi,

Thank you for your post.

Yes, you can. Clicking your middle mouse button will submit a Stop Limit order.

I'm using a mircosoft intellimouse infared with scroll wheel, left right mouse buttons and back/forward side browser buttons. I cant seem to generate stop orders in DOM (V5 SIM) with the scroll button... it changes my display to a multi window output of what's open on my task bar. Is there some hardware setting for the mouse that I need to change?

Also another topic.....again if I upgrade to Ver6 will I lose my trading performance history from Ver5 or can I import my past history from V5 into V6?

Hi,

1) Try changing your mouse configuration. Go to the windows control panel--> Printers and other hardware--> Mouse and select the Button tab. Then see if you can change the set up for your scroll wheel, you want it to act like a middle mouse button.

2) You need to create new settings and strategies for V6. It's not possible to transfer them over from V5 since they are 2 complete new versions.

Most CAD programs I've used give you an option to use a key+button combination (such as shift-click) in lieu of a middle button, for pointing devices that don't have a middle button.

Is there any such combination available in NinjaTrader?

Two good reasons:

My trackball doesn't have a middle button.
Laptops are now coming out with touch screens, and a middle button would have to be simulated somehow through a touch interface. shift-poke or ctrl-poke would work well for this.

Hi A,

NinjaTrader is only expecting the middle mouse click for these commands. It may be possible with third party software to emulate a middle click with a user defined keystroke but use of these is beyond our scope of support. I'm aware of one that looks promising as far as free and open source:

Wow, thanks! AutoHotkey is overwhelmingly powerful and flexible. It took me a while to figure out how to configure AutoHotkey to emulate a middle mouse button, but it works great.

If anyone is searching this thread, the following line in an AutoHotkey script will generate a middle button click when you hold down the right button and click the left one in the SuperDOM window:

~RButton & LButton::MouseClick, Middle

...and if your trackball doesn't have a scroll wheel, you still need to be able to scroll the DOM ladder. I do this with the right CTRL key plus up or down arrow to step the ladder up and down:

~RControl & Up::Click WheelUp
~RControl & Down::Click WheelDown
