This is for all the scalpers out there:
What do you do in order to execute your trades faster than the usual F9 built-in order screen?
I've recently gone back to manually trading--specifically scalping--on a demo account in anticipation of the increased time I will have after my internship to start trading live.
Personally for me, I have a series of scripts which calculate the lot size for me, based on a hard-coded risk value, for BUY and SELL orders. I have a custom mini keyboard which resembles an arcade console which has a script mapped to each button.

- BUY
- BUY half risk
- SELL
- SELL half risk
- CLOSE ALL
Is my setup overkill? Are there simpler methods? How would you do it?
