Perhaps better thought:
Instead of .01/.02/.03....10 less/plus increments, make relative Buy/Sell keys multiples of the interval value,
i.e., Ctrl/Alt 1 times value, 2 times value, 3 times value,.....10 times value.
Also more possibilities could be introduced by implementing Left Ctrl/Alt key versus Right Ctrl/Alt key.
Example: Stops and/or Trailing Stops.
I do not know why both types are needed, I think one could set a hard stop loss and then use the same value as the trailing stop value, i.e., if the trade does not hit stop loss, stop automatically changes to a trailing stop value once the entry price is passed thereby reducing the initial stop loss, then subsequently to break even and then to profit, never to have a losing trade.
