To design a Custom hot key from “Hot Keys Global Order Entry” screen, do the following:ġ. Of course, you could select or as the override key, but then any hot keys already using or would run into problems if you try to override. It's tricky because if you have a hot key that already uses, then the override won't work properly. So if you have a Load and Go hot key of +B to send an order, by hitting ++B will instead only load the order. If the Mode is set to Load and Go, you can override the Mode so the hot key used will only load (the reverse is also true).

So, if you want hot keys to send orders immediately, select “Load and Go.” If you want a hot key to pre-fill the order entry screen only, giving you the opportunity to examine or scan the staged order before you transmit it, you will want to use Load. Mode - There are two mode settings, “Load” and “Load and Go”. This feature gives traders the ability to amend hot key orders on the fly. The trader can then update the blank field and send the hot key as if it was a Level 1 OE order (or they can cancel it without sending the order). When the hot key is used, a level 1 window pops up with the hot key parameters filled in, except for the fields left blank.

When this setting is checked, a user may choose to leave a field blank.
