Can anyone describe the "must have" hotkeys for intraday equities? For example, do you normally need individual keys for each ecn, or is that overkill? Help me build my list beyond the following:

G - Hit bid (-.02 limit)
H - Lift offer (+.02 limit)
F - Join Best bid
J - Join Best Offer
Q - Close position (market)

etc.

Thanks.
 
depends which market and which equity traded. safe bet is usually arca for nyse especially.

i used the autoExec keys alot, easiest and safer than using markets.

Don't be mad because I didn't take you up on your offer. Try not using all caps when you pm your next mark.
 
Depends on your style.

Should always program at least 2-3 different market routes incase one is down. Bid/Offer, Limit Buy/Sell, Market Buy/sell. Arca or Island/smart/nyse is plenty.

The micro scalpers will have almost every availiable route programmed, you end up using all your F keys, with all Shift, Crtl and Alt combinations, those 50 keys become second nature after several thousand trades.

I find using F1 to F4 the quickest with enter key as confirmation. Esc as cancel pretty convienent.

Start out with bid and offer Arca, then add to it as you see fit.
