Open and close market orders by hotkeys

You can write appropriate scripts and assign them hot keys

Sergey Golubev thanks for response.
This Ea and Scrip It fulfills the function of opening an operation and closing it. But
The response time is very slow, which in the long run is the same as pressing the mouse click and close with the "X" (quite small) of the platform, the operations open or close almost instantly with the One Click Trading, but with the aforementioned Ea and Script delay more, which in the long run is better to do with the mouse, I am Scalper of ultra short periods (seconds of operation), the only thing that MT5 is missing is to control operations by HOT KEYS, to open and close operations in a second while you are looking at 4 graphics, you do not have time to press the button and then close the operation, it is very uncomfortable.
Very Thanks and regards.

you may try ChartEvents. You will need to modify OrderSend function for MT5.

I have not been able to find any way to open market orders with hotkeys, my way of operating requires that the operations be open and closed at the exact moment you decide (scalper very fast), doing it with the mouse and clicking below the small arrow is something impossible. Is there a way to open and close orders only with the keyboard? How can you do with Ninjatrader? Greetings and thanks.
