Hey everyone, Below is the video on how to use the DAS Replay feature. Currently this feature is available on the BBT Simulation Version 5.4.6.0. Which can be downloaded at https://www.dastrader.com/download/fixes/DEMO.5.4.6.0.exe (When the feature is ready for production it will be release to other platform versions like IB, Centerpoint and CMEG.) Thank you

Thanks! And I thought your RAD trade on Friday was dead-on perfect.

If it is buying power related, just focus on less expensive stocks and less risk.

Hmm well if you shorted 85 shares, with a stop of 7 cents away, that's $5.95 risk, not $20. You may have the script set to $20 but as Peter pointed out you may be limited to your buying power...And to risk $20 with a 7 cent stop you would have needed to short ~285 shares of AMD (at that share price). Hopefully this helps!

December 26, 2019. Did not plan on trading today as my focus was on identifying the issues in my new office that were causing my platform to freeze at the open. I think I have narrowed it down to my desktop at home and the BIOS. I can't seem to update it, so I may ended up having to build a new desktop sooner than I anticipated. In the meantime, I did a little re-configuring, so I can trade off the laptop until it is fixed. I might be able to get a couple of days of trading next week. I will see what happens.

Yes, I plan on trading full time.

December 24, 2019 - The fun but frustrating experience of moving and setting up my primary office for continues. Thought I had the internet and KVM switch fixed, but again this morning ended up having issues with getting the charts not to lag. See the image below. When your last price line market does not match your level two data, and you have a hard line connection straight from the router to your computer, it is time to call the internet service provider and ask how is it that I get better connectivity using a MIFI puck then I get from a hard line. Got great service as they showed up a couple hours later, tested my lines, replaced all the connections, and gave me a new modem. We will see how it goes on Thursday. Hopefully, it fixed it. Most likely not going to be trading for the next couple of weeks as things are going to get really crazy with my retirement and moving offices.

Love squawk. I always keep it on, listening for news that will cause some volatility. Obviously you can't trade off of all news, but it seems there is always a popup opportunity to at least get a scalp on a quick move. Here are the last couple of trades I caught using squawk. Really appreciate this as a feature of BBT!

Hello there, my name is Seydou from Berlin, working as a freelance data scientist from Berlin. I recently read "Fooled by randomness" by Taleb, that got me curious about trading then I found Andrew's book. And then here I am, looking forward to know and learn from each of you! Seydou

11.Dec.19 Due to travel plans, I may not be able to trade rest of this month. Stay Green!! . Had a hotkey mistake that cost me -10r loss on a 3bar play setup, so stopped trading in Dec and calling it a wrap for the year 2019.

It's the commas. Looks like you're in Italy? In the troubleshooting section of the spreadsheet it mentions European users will need to change the decimal separator from "," to "." Incorrect - 0,01 Correct - 0.01

Just started day trading 2 months ago. I've been using TWS but find it super slow. However, I do love it's news triangles on chart which makes me very secure. (Before using that there was once breaking news came in and I was still trading my pattern and strategy and lost some money. (Also didn't have a stop loss hot key.) I also like TWS's sophisticated scanner. This week I just started trying DAS on Parallel with 8 charts (4 stocks) on one screen (27'' iMac 5K). So far very smooth. I feel like this is easier than back and forth with a couple of screens and extra PC, desk and space since I have everything on one big screen. I also have my laptop next to it for chatroom, news, etc. I'm in Asia trading at night so prefer dark charts. I understand there is a risk brought on with extra software. I had my Mac workstation properly setup, and for the time being, I don't see a point in investing extra hardwares and space in my apartment since I'm still on simulation. At this day and age who says trading has to be done on PC and Windows? Of course, this will probably come back and bite me in the long run.
