Is there a way to move price to BE on and active order with a Hot Key?

[Newtrader101]

Hello,
Im trying my hand at scalping and want to know if I can use a hot key to automatically move a Stop Loss order to Break Even while in profit on an active order?
If not with a hot key, is the only way to do this manually on the chart?
Thank you.

Hello Newtrader101,

Thank you for creating your post today.

There is in fact Hot Keys available to Breakeven. There are two options, the Breakeven ATM Strategy, or Breakeven Position. The Breakeven Position hot key will modify any stops to your break-even price for any open position. The Breakeven ATM Strategy hot key modifies your stop loss order to your break-even price for the ATM Strategy position on the active window.

To create these hot keys you can do so by going to Control Center > Tools > Hot Keys > Order Entry > and then you can click on the Hot Key and then record the hot key combination.

Furthermore, in order to be able to use Hot Keys for order entry, you must enable that in your settings. You can do this by going to Control Center > Tools > Options > Trading > Ensure that the option for 'Use order entry hot keys' is marked
