Hi,
i tried to create hotkeys to send bracket order for future like ES with TWS:
buy LMT = market-0.05
sell LMT = market+10
sell stp = market-5
When i click on the hot key, it asks for value to enter for buy LMT

If i create hotkeys to buy stocks it works perfectly.

Why hotkeys doesn't work with futures?
I don't have market live.

Thank you
oto

Maybe because the ES does not move in .05 increments? Try buy LMT = market-0.25

It was just an example, of course ES doesn't move with 0.05%

If you do not give a specific example of something that does not work, nobody can help you here, except @def

You don't even understand how futures work. Who ever mentioned percentages? What is 0.05%? Your stop is -5%? Doh!?
