Chart Trading needs to be improved on MT5

 

Hi everyone,

MT5  Chart trading needs to be improved dramatically.  It only allows, buy or sell limit orders and buy or sell stop orders on right click on the chart. If you want to open a buy stop limit order to prevent slippage, it requires 10 steps , 4 of which require typing in order prices, stop size and take profits.

This on every level of execution speed and accuracy is unacceptable in my view. I am certain that it is not that difficult to code.

Is there any way of lobbying for the chart order entry tools to be better streamlined?



Thanks
