In DOM, use Right Mouse Click for stop orders

[Big D]

In the DOM, you have the option to set Middle mouse button is stop market to true or false. The middle mouse button on most current mice has a wheel, which makes it harder to click the middle button. Have the option to use the right mouse click for stop orders. Also, some smaller, laptop/travelling mice don't have middle mouse buttons. In general, give the user the option of using the middle or right mouse button for stop orders.

Thanks for your suggestion.

In fact, I would love to see any normal left-click buy order above ask or sell below bid to be a stop order just like in other programs, e.g., Bracket Trader or CQG (I think). There must be others as well, can anybody confirm this?

[Edit: oops, just recalled that TWS actually uses right-click for this]

It's more intuitive this way and we already have buy/sell @ market buttons so everything else is a bit redundant.
(and let's face it : most DOM users are not value investors - they are not interested in the 'best price'. they want to place an order at a certain level; at least that's how I feel)

Of course you could make it an option to retain backwards-compatibility

plus: the screw-up factor (ie what happens when you don't know what you're doing) is more benign this way. If the default is a stop and I wanted to actually place @market, all I need to do is move the order to where the market is. In the opposite case (the way it is now), if I want to place a stop, but put in a limit instead, I suddenly find myself in a trade I didn't want to be in (yet), and now I need to pay at least spread + commish to get out.

because I made quite a few edits to the message above, so you may (or may not ) want to reread that.

Seconding this suggestion

Thanks for the suggestions redwoood. We will take them into consideration.

Stops are what I am almost ALWAYS placing. It is not intuitive to force me to think "MIDDLE BUTTON STUPID". I have been bit too many times by muscle memory in the left button finger....

Forget the Center mouse Click !

Talk about a complicated Center Mouse Clicks.

On the NinjaTrader SuperDOM I use a Center Mouse Button to add a Stoplimit EntryOrder when I want a Order Below the Market for SHORT and Above the Market for a LONG.
I want to have any of the following suggestions or options
1. Left Click anywhere on the SuperDOM for a Limit Order ...
forget about Market Orders when above or below the Market...
If I want a Mar****rder I'll Click the Market Order Button
2. Swap the CenterMouse Button to the RightClick for Stoplimit EntryOrders
what a hassel clicking the CenterMouseButton that is extra sticky for this operation
3. One Click CenterMouse Button for Stoplimit EntryOrders
Ver.6 makes me Center Click then RightClick to Confirm ( what a timewaster )
I can't figure Out Why NinjaTrader Ignores the Line#1 Request....
Every Other Platform has this option !!!!
Lets get on the Ball and get these simple options programed !

All you have to do is have a toggle option on the DOM ACCEPT LEFT CLICK STOP LIMIT ORDERS (YES)

Hello,

Thank you for your post and suggestion.

I will forward to development for future consideration.

It would be great to have the option to put stop market and stop limit orders as well in the superdom.
So for example middle is stop limit and right button is stop market or something...
Right now I can have only one option.

(stop limit is better for entering, but stop limit for exit is bad I can not leave the comtputer there, cause if the price jumps over it, I may have serious losses

thx
