There are a number of other setups I use as well. Anyhow, with a press of 2 keys and a mouse click, I able to select how I want to trade right now and at what price. I can keep pressing keys and the mouse until the entry price is exactly where I want on the chart. After selection the entry type, I have more key combos to change the placement of the entry value, target value, and stop loss. Yet other keys transmit orders, clear the current order type, flatten a position, etc. Some of these things could be done in the parameter window, but I do not like having a parameter window up all the time. The most useful aspect of this plugin is being able to have your mouse clicks on the chart have different meanings depending on the current keys you have pressed.
