Hello, is there a possibility for a hotkey which can automatically attached bracket orders with certain amount of defined preset? for example like the stop loss is 1% risk and the “take profit” is based on Risk/Reward ratio of maybe 2. Those are just for examples. Thank you.
Hello, thank you for your question. For now, we have only basic hotkeys available:
https://ibkrguides.com/releasenotes/ibkrdesktop/2023/preview/ntws-preview-v0.04.htm
Advanced keys are certainly in our development queue for future releases.
In TWS we could set hotkeys for instant transmit. Now the rapid screen, then the confirmation screen needs to be clicked. Is there a way to instantly transmit the order using a hot key.
Hello, thank you for reaching out. This is currently not available. However, it is on our roadmap. In the future, if you have a specific suggestion(s) on how we can improve, we would like to hear it! Please review this FAQ on where you can leave your feedback: https://www.ibkr.com/faq?id=32653353
We hope this helps!
Add in for buy/sell to do it by Percentages….
I was wondering if there is hot key for selling portion of current position?? I don’t see this in chart trading options.
I was using reverse position hotkey and it worked for couple of days to execute the order immediete, however, now it doesn’t. Everytime I use it I get a notification that the instrument is not available for shorting!! Well am selling part of an open position so I really shouldn’t be getting this pop up!!!
Can you pls let me know how to execute scalling out instantly, without getting many popup msgs?!!
podria indicarnos la secuencia en el procedimiento para la compra de opciones por intermedio de los calls o put. ( por donde se inicia y donde finaliza ).
Gracias por contactarnos. Ya sea que sea nuevo en opciones o quiera repasar algunos conceptos básicos sobre riesgos, o esté aprendiendo TWS y quiera saber cómo ubicar campos y datos de opciones, nuestro curso Introducción a las opciones es un excelente primer paso. No dude en consultar la clase. Podría ser un gran recurso para usted. https://ibkrcampus.com/trading-course/introduction-to-options/
¡Esperamos que esto le resulte útil!
Please add advanced hotkeys to IBKR desktop: buy using percentage of buying power, sell percentage of the position, instant execution without the rapid order and confirmation screen. It would make the application usable for momentum trading. Thank you.

I’ve been using TWS for day trading (scalping) for the last 2 months and im really struggling, the response time for the hotkey Transmit pop up message to appear on my screen is literally 8-10 seconds. Also, the advanced charts alot of the times, candles started spiking and jumping up and down (unstable). I’ve used the beta, the latest and the stable version and alot of the times when u click on a ticker it takes 20 seconds to load. Note, that im not yet subscribed to your level 2 data; i wonder if that the case though the main order entry works just fine.
Hello, thank you for reaching out. Please review the minimum system requirements needed for TWS:

is there a ways to switch stock in my list with a hotkey like down. I would like to navigate between my graph quickly like Trading view.
When are advanced hot keys being released, just like they were on the TWS platform? Automatic brackets for TP and SL, instant order transmission etc. Nice that we are on version 13 but still no advanced hot keys makes the app 50% useless.
Pls release advanced hot keys: – automatic brackets for TP and SL, – instant order transmission – automatic account selection (default account) Make stock screeners “”detachable”, so I can open them (multiple ones!) in new windows – just like watchlists.
Hi Zoltan, advanced hotkeys are in our queue for future release. In the future, please view this FAQ for instructions to submit any specific suggestion(s) on how we can improve: https://www.ibkr.com/faq?id=32653353
