Can we have market protection feature enabled in market orders for trading in stock options done through Alert Triggered Orders and the EXIT button in the Positions tab?
This would be tremendously helpful when exiting multi-leg stock derivative positions, especially to avoid heavy slippages. Currently, modifying orders takes multiple keystrokes, which often leads to delays and poor fills. Market protection would make exits faster, safer, and far more efficient.
If I could add one more request: keyboard shortcuts for quick order modification on desktop, so we don’t have to rely on the cursor for every action.
A simple workflow could be:
Step 1: Press O to open the Orders tab.
(Currently, the arrow keys default to navigating the watchlist.)
Step 2: Press Tab to shift focus to Open Orders, where the arrow keys can toggle between active orders.
Step 3:
- Press M on the selected order to instantly open the modification window.
- Press C to cancel the order immediately.
This would make managing fast-moving option positions significantly smoother and more efficient.
