You don't have to use every available hotkey action to benefit. Try getting started by using just a few of your most common actions and add more as you get more comfortable.
Hotkeys are a very powerful tool that can help you trade faster, especially in volatile markets. Make sure to go over each of the provided hotkeys carefully.
To change a hotkey assignment action, simply use your cursor and click the key field next to the action you wish to change. Then, press the new key you would like assigned. There is no need to press delete or backspace!
- If you make changes and want them to save, press the blue 'OK' button.
- If you made a change but do not want it saved, simply press the 'Cancel' button.
If you have trouble remembering the actions and key assignments, some users report success by referencing a printed copy.
