NinjaTrader order entry feature which have the ability to place custom orders for Stop-Market, Stop-Limit, Limit and MIT orders such as the Order Ticket, Basic Entry, FX Pro, and FX Board use a standard Price Selector which is used to specify the exact price used for these types of orders.
The price selector allows you type directly into the editor to specify a price, however you can also use a few shortcuts to obtain current market prices, as well as make quick adjustments to the selected price using your mouse. The table below shows the various shortcuts that can be used with the Price Selector:

Upon selecting an order type, the relevant fields specific to that type of order will be enabled to allow you to edit the order price before submitting the order. If a field is not relevant to an order type, it will be disabled. Note that a Stop-Limit order has both fields enabled which implies that both fields must have a value in order to place this type of order.
