Hotkeys for selecting individual brackets

I frequently use bracket orders in my trading, and have several different types of brackets for various market conditions. For instance, I have a bracket order type with a trailing stop that I use for trading strongly directional and sudden market movement. The platform supports hotkeys (ideal!) and customizing them (ideal!), but for brackets the only available hotkeying is for toggling brackets on/off, or for opening bracket configuration. Being able to assign hotkeys to Bracket 1, Bracket 2, and Bracket 3, where the hotkey switches the currently active bracket, would greatly reduce my turn-around time for switching between brackets and allow me to better respond to shifting market conditions. I normally use a bracket type for scalping, but the abovementioned trailing stop order is much better when the market decides to run. Having to click three times (open dropdown, select dropdown, open order) is slower than hotkeying the switch and then opening the market order. Would be great if this feature was added. Thanks for your time.

  I would like to add to this request.

  I would like to see this feature have its own window that can be docked in the dashboard, Maybe called "Trade Panel" Where we can take our custom bracket orders and turn them in to custom named buttons. Just like the default buttons you find in the DoM.

   

  

   

  Thanks
