# Trading Hotkeys

## Hotkey Settings

To create hotkeys, navigate to the platform settings and locate the Hotkeys section. From there, you can define specific keyboard combinations for various actions, such as executing trades or adjusting platform settings. After setting up and saving your hotkeys, enable them for specific components by clicking the "H" icon located near the top left of each component's window. This allows you to use the hotkeys efficiently within the platform.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.topstepx.com/settings/trading-hotkeys.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
