scalping with prop firms

heres an example of my layout:

num1: pike
num2: adjust pike
num3: pike
num4: piiiike
num5: piiiike
num6: pike again
num7: pike again
num8: maximum pike
num9: holy crap I missed my out its time to donate money to someone else

left mouse: adjust macd and print money like its going out of style
 
here is my keyboard layout:

key1: add to losing position
key2: blame specialist
key3: buy at the days high
key4: sell at the days low
key5: puke out losing position
key6: make my broker richer
key7: get eaten alive by pros trading through chop.
key8: miss winning trade
key9: margin call


I agree with some who say that learning to scalp from home with retail commissions is retarded, you might as well donate to a charity.

But if you insist then please go ahead, the pros can always use the added liquidity!
 
I'm similar to NYOBscalper....

I've got keys for all of these...

NSDQ bid/offer
ARCA bid/offer
BATS bid/offer
EDGX bid/offer
EDGA bid/offer
BOOK bid/offer
ISE bid/offer
NYS bid/offer
Goldman Sigma X bid/offer
MEGA ECN bid/offer
OnOpen/Onclose

Then, for each one of those I have a different key if I'm bidding/offering for tier size or position size.

I use a couple different swipes/smartswipes

When sending my orders I have keys that will send inside 1 cent, 5 cents, go hidden, discretionary, etc

Also have cancel keys for most recent order, least recent, all buys, all sells, etc

tier size keys to quickly 1/2, 2x my tier, add/subtract 100, 500, 1000, 5000.


Basically, I use almost every key and most multiple times with different combinations of shift, control, and alt.

Simple as that.

:D

What firm are you with that lets you post BOOK?

As far as tier size keys, I forgot to mention my numpad1-9 = 100-900 shares, 0=1000, shift 1-9 = 1000-9000, shift 0=10,000, and +/- increment/decrement by 100 shares.

I really should have EDGEX and bats keys, whenever I see them on the inside price I throw money in the garbage with routing fees.
 
<br><br>I'll share my hotkeys as well since you all have shared. I bought some custom buttons and re-wired them to send keystrokes.

I find that this greatly increases my reaction time and that there is less fumbling than with a keyboard. No longer will I hit the wrong key and lose money. I have them all spaced out and mounted on a board under my monitor. They even come pre-labeled.
