I remeber there was a way to assign hotkeys for certian functions but the location escapes me at the moment. I just invested in a blooomberg terminal and I must say it's worth the price. I've traded a few news events starting with sone NZD news Thursday afternoon (US). I got the news, sold 10 lots NZDUSD and seconds later the spike occurred, about 20+ pips in my favor. I've did the same thing twice on Friday.


Now, I'm not here to pimp the bloomberg service. I think it's good, but that's up to the individual and if you can afford it in your stage of the trading game. I'm not a news trader by default, but I have to admit, leading the spike by a few seconds makes it worthwhile.

When the news is coming out I have the order window up for the pair I'm going to trade. Is there any way to assign hotkeys to do the buying or selling using just the keyboard? It might seem trivial, but I think it's be easier execution for me. Press key "X" to buy or key "Y" to sell.


Again, I think someone designed a script once or a dll, but I cannot for the life of me remember where it was. Can someone help me out?
