      Basic Options Trading Hotkeys

      By David Stevenson · Posted

      Hi all, I am looking for a very basic hotkey script that I can use whereby DAS will automatically calculate the number of contracts to purchase based on a defined $ amount. For example, I wish to buy $1000 worth of an option with a current ask price of $1 (contract price $100) - on punching my hotkey DAS should go ahead and purchase 10 contracts ($1000 / ask*100). Is there a simple hotkey script to achieve this? Also, which window needs to be active when punching the hotkey - the options chain or the montage? I don't know if it affects the script at all, but for reference my broker is IBKR. Any help would be greatly appreciated - thanks!

      ATR on chart as number OR ATR in the montague

      By pavelmp · Posted

      There is an easy way to add ATR to montage - create a tiny daily chart that only has ATR study (no price study), move this chart into that small empty area in top right of the montage, link it by color to montage. If you want to see an example of this tiny ATR window, you can watch this video (look at top right corner of montage - showing a value of 6.12)
