Suggestions on faster order executions?
I'm relatively new to TOS. Can someone let me know if there's a faster way to execute trades? I scalp, with position timing from a few seconds to a couple minutes on options (always the same ticker). From what I could gather, the best way to do this is on the Charts tab, select the contract from the expiry dropdown, then hit Confirm and Send on Order Entry. Once price hits, I then go to Monitor, right-click the contract and click Sell. This then takes me to the Order Entry tab again, then Confirm to sell. Is that the fastest way? And then to add/trim contracts, I essentially repeat those steps.
This seems like a bunch of steps. For example in Webull, I can just select the contract and hit Buy. To add/trim, I assign a hotkey so it's literally a single keyboard press.
Genuinely just trying to learn the ins and outs of TOS. Any pointers would help!
