Share=0.5*SShare; the 0.5 means half. if you want whole size remove the 0.5* from the equation. you have several steps that guarantee you will not risk $100 neither use 100% of the BP for better hotkeys go here -
Thank you Peter! After many tries i understood that Round2 worked only on values which are fields on the montage, but still I didn't know how to round a number outside of the montage. Thank you! And also thanks for your site. I keep finding lots of useful information there! -

Hey everyone, I need some help with a fixed risk hotkey I’m using in DAS. My goal is: Risk a fixed dollar amount (e.g., $100). Buy (or short) the maximum number of shares based on: My stop loss (selected by double‑clicking on the chart). My available buying power. Here’s the hotkey I’m currently using for long entries: StopPrice=Price-0; DefShare=BP*0.925; Price=Ask-Price+0.00; SShare=98/Price; Share=DefShare-SShare; DefShare=DefShare+SShare; SShare=Share; SShare=DefShare-SShare; Share=0.5*SShare; TogSShare; ROUTE=SMRTL; Price=Ask+0.05; TIF=DAY+; BUY=Send; DefShare=200; TriggerOrder=RT:STOP STOPTYPE:MARKET PX:StopPrice-0.05 ACT:SELL STOPPRICE:StopPrice QTY:Pos TIF:DAY+ and for Short: StopPrice=Price+0; DefShare=BP*0.925; Price=Price-Bid+0.00; SShare=98/Price; Share=DefShare-SShare; DefShare=DefShare+SShare; SShare=Share; SShare=DefShare-SShare; Share=0.5*SShare; TogSShare; ROUTE=SMRTL; Price=Bid-0.05; TIF=DAY+; SELL=Send; DefShare=200; TriggerOrder=RT:STOP STOPTYPE:MARKET PX:StopPrice+0.05 ACT:BUY STOPPRICE:StopPrice QTY:Pos TIF:DAY+ The Problem When my stop is very tight (usually less than $1 away from entry), DAS calculates the wrong share size. Current Example (short trade): Buying Power: $40,000 Entry: $320.33 Stop: $321.13 (double‑clicked) Risk: $0.80 per share Risk I want: $100 Shares DAS actually bought: 71 Math check: 71 shares × $320.33 = $22,743 (almost half of my BP) 71 shares × $0.80 = $56.8 risk Should have been closer to 100 shares (to risk ~$100) So instead of hitting my defined risk, DAS under‑allocates shares when the stop is tight. What I Need Help With I’m looking for a clean hotkey script that: Risks a fixed dollar amount (e.g., $100). Correctly sizes the position based on the distance to my stop (no matter how tight). Respects available buying power. Has anyone solved this issue or can help me rewrite the script correctly? Thanks in advance! -

I have reviewed the recorded GreenTraderTax webinar from 2019 and have hada consult with one of their CPAs as well. I would like to form a new entity (S-Corp) in Georgia and was wondering if anyone could recommend an attorney or company that could help with this in Georgia, USA. GreenTraderTax do not offer entity forming services anymore. I could use LegalZoom, but would prefer someone trustworthy who could wall me through the process. Thanks!
