Add a hotkey to manually move the stop-loss (by ticks)

Hi,

ATAS already offers several useful features through hotkeys, such as setting break-even or activating a trailing stop. However, the current trailing stop doesn’t always reflect real market dynamics, which sometimes require temporary pullbacks even when the trade is going in the right direction.

I suggest adding a customizable hotkey that allows traders to manually move the stop-loss. For example, each key press (user-defined) could shift the stop by +5 ticks (also user-defined).

This would enable more precise and reactive management, without relying solely on the mouse or rigid automation. It would be especially valuable for traders using programmable keyboards.

Note: This feature is already available in other platforms, such as ProRealTime.

Thanks 👍🏾

    This may seem trivial to management, but I would really like to see this function introduced. Nudge your trail (x) ticks via keyboard function.🙂 Love to see this.

    Add a double hotkey to move the stop-loss dynamically (by ticks)

    I propose adding two customizable hotkeys:

    • One to move the stop forward (+X ticks).

    • Another to bring it back toward the entry (-X ticks).
