This allows you to work much faster than using a mouse and manually searching for the functions you need. ![](https://moonbot.eu/storage/editor-images/Hotkeys-02-W-eng.jpg) ![(dark)](https://moonbot.eu/storage/editor-images/Hotkeys-02-B-eng.jpg) ### Cancel Buy Cancels all active Buy and Pending orders on the coin whose chart is open in fullscreen. ### Panic Sell Activates **Panic Sell** mode to immediately close all active Sell orders at market price for the coin whose chart is open in fullscreen. ### Join Sells Merges all real **Sell** orders on the coin whose chart is open in fullscreen (including both strategy and manually placed orders) into one aggregated **Sell** order, except for those with click immunity enabled. On the chart, instead of several separate entry lines, a single averaged entry line will be displayed. ⚠️ **Attention!** Emulator orders are not merged. ### Switch Chart The **Switch Chart** function allows you to cycle through coin charts that are open in fullscreen mode. ### Switch Chart Figure This function cycles through drawing tools selected via checkbox in the **Pencil** menu under **HotKey**: - Pen (freehand drawing) - Horizontal line (level with price label) - Trend line (sloped line) - Triangle (triangular patterns) - Fibo (Fibonacci levels) - Rectangle area (price level or area with percentage display if stretched vertically) - Trace (Buy/Sell order and stop-loss tracks). To quickly identify the currently active drawing tool, press and hold the **CTRL** key. The **Pencil** icon will temporarily change to the icon of the selected drawing tool. Release **CTRL** to return to the **Pencil** icon. ### Reload Book Reloads the Order Book. Used in cases of sharp price movement when the Order Book may become desynchronized from actual trades. ### New Long Opens a Long market position for the coin displayed in full-screen chart mode. After purchase, a **Sell** order is placed based on main settings or the selected manual strategy. ### New Short Opens a Short market position for the coin displayed in full-screen chart mode. After purchase, a **Sell** order is placed based on main settings or the selected manual strategy. ### Split Order Splits an active real **Sell** order into three equal parts for the coin currently open in full-screen chart mode. The split orders will be placed with spacing defined by the slider or fixed button on the **Sell** order panel in the main terminal window. If the order volume is less than three times the minimum lot size for the coin, the operation will not be performed, and the following log message will appear:\ **"Sorry, the volume of this order is too small. The minimum volume for BTC is $11!"** In rare cases, splitting may result in the full cancellation of the **Sell** order and the return of the coins to the balance. In this case, you can re-enter the position via **Menu** → **Balances**. ⚠️ **Attention!** Emulator orders cannot be split. ### Sells to rectangle Distributes **Sell** orders evenly across a defined price range on the chart. To use it, press the hotkey — the cursor will change to a “three-square” icon. Then, while holding **CTRL**, click on the chart and drag the cursor up or down (with the left mouse button held) to define a rectangular area. After releasing the button, all **Sell** orders for the coin will be evenly distributed within the specified area. This tool allows for quick and convenient placement of **Sell** orders as a uniform grid anywhere — below a wall, above a wall, within a narrow or wide price range — enabling partial position exits. This method saves time and makes your positions less noticeable, especially on low-liquidity coins. Instead of placing a single large **Sell** order, you can split the position into smaller parts and distribute them evenly on the chart. Useful features of **Sells to rectangle**: 1. If you click once (without selecting an area), all **Sell** orders will be collected into a single line at the click point (same as **All to 1 price**). 2. If you stretch the area or click-drag into the opposite Order Book zone, all **Sell** orders will be moved there and executed at market price (same as **Panic Sell**) 3. This function works both on full-screen charts and on all chart windows displayed in tape view or opened separately. ### Shift buys +1% Moves all Buy orders on the coin 1% higher toward the current price with each press. Press the hotkey multiple times to shift further. ### Shift buys -1% Moves all Buy orders on the coin 1% lower from the current price with each press. Press again to shift further. ### Shift sells +1% Moves all Sell orders on the coin 1% higher from the current price with each press. Can be pressed repeatedly for greater shift. ### Shift sells -1% Moves all Sell orders on the coin 1% lower toward the current price with each press. ### Panic Sell 1 order Activates Panic Sell mode for a single order — the one with the lowest number — on the coin currently open in fullscreen. ### Chart ScreenShot **Chart ScreenShot** (default: **CTRL+F10**) — takes a screenshot of the coin chart open in fullscreen or the reports window, if it is open. After pressing the hotkey, the **Send ScreenShot** window will appear, displaying the screenshot and a comment field below. You can enter a comment and press **CTRL+Enter** to send it to the Telegram groups **MOON BOT® крипто Курилка** 📢[https://t.me/moon_bot_kurilka](https://t.me/moon_bot_kurilka) and **Moonbot Profit** 📢[https://t.me/MoonBot_Profit](https://t.me/MoonBot_Profit). If you change your mind, press **ESC** or the **X icon** in the top right corner to close the window. Even after closing the **Send ScreenShot** window, the screenshot remains in your clipboard. You can paste it into your own Telegram channel by placing the cursor in the message field, pressing **CTRL+V**, adding a caption if needed, and sending the message. ### Bot ScreenShot Takes a screenshot of the entire Moonbot terminal window, including the chart, button panel, orders window, logs, and service info. After pressing the hotkey, a green camera icon will appear, confirming the screenshot was successfully taken and copied to the clipboard. To send it, for example, to the Moonbot technical support group 📢[https://t.me/MoonBotSettings](https://t.me/MoonBotSettings), open the group, place the cursor in the message field, press **CTRL+V**, and add a comment if needed before sending. ### Cancel buys in all bots Centers all coin charts vertically, both in the main window and in chart windows. ### Reload Chart Allows you to cancel all Buy orders across all trading platforms running on the same computer. ### Cancel ALL buys Cancels all **Buy** and **Pending** orders across all coins in the terminal. This hotkey is equivalent to selecting **Cancel ALL BUYs** from the orders menu and is especially useful in urgent situations. For example: - If a coin suddenly becomes volatile and your balance is tied up in less active coins, press this hotkey to instantly cancel all Buy orders and free up your balance. - If the exchange is experiencing issues or you have a poor connection, use this hotkey to cancel all orders and pause trading to avoid potential losses. ### Scale + Steps through scale buttons in increasing order with each press. Does not affect the **Auto** scale button. ### Scale - Steps through scale buttons in decreasing order with each press. Does not affect the **Auto** scale button. ### Sell + Increases the **Sell Price** by 1% for the next Sell order that will be placed after a purchase. If the chart is open in fullscreen, dashed lines will momentarily show the new Sell Price levels with each press. ### Sell - Decreases the **Sell Price** by 1% for the next Sell order that will be placed after a purchase. If the chart is open in fullscreen, dashed lines will momentarily show the new Sell Price levels with each press. ### Open coin in all bots Allows you to open the current coin in full-screen mode on all Moonbot terminals where this hotkey is specified. ### Hide Balance Allows you to blur sensitive trading information in the Moonbot terminal, including trading balance, order size settings, data in the orders window below the trading chart, cashback amount, last trade info for the coin in the top right of the main window, and completely hides session data on charts for all coins. ### Split to N (click to set) Allows you to split an active **Sell** order into **N** equal parts (up to 20). To set the value of **N**, click on the **Split to N (click to set)** label — an input window will open where you can enter the desired value and press Enter. The hotkey works only on a coin whose chart is opened in full-screen mode. If the result of the split is less than the minimum lot size for the coin, the order will not be split. A message will appear in the log, for example:\ **"Sorry, the volume of this order is too small. The minimum volume for BTC is $11!"**\ In some cases, the order may be completely canceled and the coins returned to the balance. You can re-place the position via **Menu** → **Balances**. ⚠️ **Attention!** Emulator orders cannot be split. ### Show\\Hide Charts Allows you to hide or show all chart windows. ### Start strategies in all bots This allows you to activate the strategies marked with tick marks on all terminals running on the same computer. ### Stop strategies in all bots Allows you to deactivate strategies on all terminals running on the same computer. ⚠️ **Important**: In the hotkey field, only the following key types and combinations are allowed: - Function keys (**F1, F2, F3**, etc.) - Combinations: **SHIFT / CTRL / ALT + number / letter** - Some special keys such as **Caps Lock, Num Lock, Del, Backspace, arrows** and others. However, using these keys as hotkeys is not recommended, as they are frequently used for navigation and text input, which may lead to unexpected behavior in the terminal. ⚠️ **Important**: The Moonbot terminal does not allow assigning a hotkey to a single letter. This is intentional to prevent accidental actions — for example, you might press a letter while typing and unintentionally trigger a hotkey, placing an order or closing a position by mistake. **Additionally**: when assigning hotkeys, make sure the combinations do not conflict with each other to avoid functional overlap. To clear a hotkey field, place the cursor in the desired field and press **Esc**. **Attention!** When you try to delete an old hotspot using the **Backspace** or **Del** keys, the code of these keys **BkSp** and **Del**, respectively, will be written in this field. In this case, these keys will work by themselves as hotkeys, which may later lead to a conflict when using them with other actions when the Moonbot terminal is running. ## Navigation Path: [Main](https://moonbot.eu/en?format=md) / [Documentation](https://moonbot.eu/en/documentation?format=md) / [Settings Button](https://moonbot.eu/en/documentation/settings-button?format=md) / [“Settings → Hotkeys” Tab](https://moonbot.eu/en/documentation/settings-hotkeys-tab?format=md) / “Controls” Section Parent section: [“Settings → Hotkeys” Tab](https://moonbot.eu/en/documentation/settings-hotkeys-tab?format=md) Previous: [Tabs Section](https://moonbot.eu/en/documentation/settings-hotkeys-tab/tabs-section?format=md)
