Hi,
I am looking for a possibility to place orders with keyboard on MT4.
I would like that with only one touch I can:
F1- Buy
F2- Sell
F3- Close last trade
F4- Break even last trade
F5- Take Proft last trade (33/50%)
F6- Close all trade

and if it's possible have three mode term:
F9:short term
F10:mid term
F11:long term

with for each:
-Entry size
-Limit distance
-stop distance
-Auto TP (TakeProfit) distance
-Auto BE (breakEven) distance

I put in example F1 F2 F3... but it can be other key, I use a keypad, I reprogram afterwards if necessary

Thank you

Thank you for your answer apprentice, but I already know the shortcut.
what interests me would be to be able to place order buy/sell on the keyboard

Great! :D

I just tested it, and actually the position opens when you type a text ...;)

it's very boring this global hotkey? You would have another solutions proposed?
The problem is that MT4 uses too many keyboard shortcuts and mainly all F1 / F2 / F3 keys etc ...
I guess it's not possible to disable the MT4 shortcut?...

It's also possible to add a function "hotkey_TP" (Take profit with a percentage) and a "hotkey_BE"?
