Hello everyone! Me and the team usually get a lot of e-mails asking for the hotkeys we're using or for some simple hotkeys; Therefore, we created a list of the most frequently used/asked for hotkeys. This is just a beta and short version, and we will keep adding to it depending on your request. This list will be worked on not only by us moderators, but by you as well if you wish! Please share in the comments some of the hotkeys you use a lot which aren't in the list and we will definitely update it, you can also ask for any hotkey you think you miss, and if any member replies with it in the comment it'll be also added to the list https://bearbulltraders.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/DAS-Video-Series-Hotkey-Scripts.pdf The hotkeys have been tested in DAS trader DEMO account and DAS/IB, still make sure to test them in simulator before trying them live! Thanks all.

What does this do: This 2 part script will allow you to set a stop loss, set a future price on your chart where you want to enter, and dynamically calculate the shares you can afford based on a fixed dollar amount. What do you mean by “2 part”?: With the current limitations of DAS, it's required to use two scripts (hotkeys) for this to work. 1. The first hotkey will set where you want your Stop Loss to be 2. The second hotkey will set where you want your Entry to be Example: The High of Day is $49.99 The current price is $49.50 and trending back up towards HOD The L2 has lots of strong ASKS at various price levels above $50.00 You want to enter if it breaks $50.00 Double click on the chart where you want to set your Stop Loss - $49.90 You hit Hotkey 1 Double click on the chart where you want to set your Entry - $50.01 You hit Hotkey 2 If and when the price hits $50.01 it will automatically enter you into the trade with your fixed $Risk and place your Stop Loss. ------------------------------------------ I used this on NVDA today at 9:51 ($415.63) for a HOD break. Luckily my preset stop was also set right below $415 at $414.97, so I didn't get wicked out I actually set it up around 9:40 and wasn’t even looking at the chart when it entered for me! By the time I noticed I was in the trade I was already in the money! Scripts: Long $20 Risk: Part 1: StopPrice=Price Part 2: DefShare=BP*0.97;Price=Price-StopPrice;SShare=20/Price;Share=DefShare-SShare;DefShare=DefShare+SShare;SShare=Share;Sshare=DefShare-SShare;Share=0.5*SShare; SShare=Share;Share=Price*100; Price=StopPrice; DefShare=Price*100; Price=Share/100; Price=Price+StopPrice; StopPrice=Price; Share=SShare; TogSShare; Price=Price+.05;TIF=DAY+;Route=Stop;StopType=Limit; Buy=Send; Share=DefShare;Price=Share/100; StopPrice=Price; DefShare=400;TriggerOrder=RT:STOP STOPTYPE:MARKET PX:StopPrice-0 ACT:SELL STOPPRICE:StopPrice QTY:Pos TIF:DAY+; Short $20 Risk: Part 1: StopPrice=Price Part 2: DefShare=BP*0.97;Price=StopPrice-Price;SShare=20/Price;Share=DefShare-SShare;DefShare=DefShare+SShare;SShare=Share;Sshare=DefShare-SShare;Share=0.5*SShare; SShare=Share;Share=Price*100; Price=StopPrice; DefShare=Price*100; Price=Share/100; Price=StopPrice-Price; StopPrice=Price; Share=SShare; TogSShare; Price=Price-.05;TIF=DAY+;Route=Stop;StopType=Limit; Sell=Send; Share=DefShare;Price=Share/100; StopPrice=Price; DefShare=400;TriggerOrder=RT:STOP STOPTYPE:MARKET PX:StopPrice-0 ACT:BUY STOPPRICE:StopPrice QTY:Pos TIF:DAY+; Known Issues: I have seen the script fail and only enter me with a small number of shares. Uncertain what caused this, but I’ll be looking for it again. Final Thoughts: I’ve been testing this in SIM for a week and wouldn’t advise using it live without doing the same. I know a lot of people have been asking for something like this - I would love to hear what other scenarios people would use this for!

Monday LIVE 2/2 +2.4R How Many Made 2:1? 2/2 Both stocks today were just on my watch list because of the daily charts. I liked BA, and someone else in the pre market chat pointed out TWTR daily. BA was at pretty significant support level, I was looking for a good bounce and run up. or a loss of the level. TWTR had a great ascending triangle forming on the daily, looked good for a breakout. TWTR 1MinOrbUp +1.2R Would Have Made 2:1? YES 1st candle had no volume, so I basically ignored it and acted like candle number 2 was the open. As you can see I failed to wait for 2:1 on my first partial, I did make it to the 1:1 mark though....baby steps. BA 5MinOrbDown +1.2R Would Have Made 2:1? YES Look at how VWAP was resistance for the 4 candles before my entry. EDIT: I knew there was a trade this morning that I almost took, but I couldn't remember what it was. Every night after I journal here, and journal in TraderVue, and log my Orbs in my Orb Tracking Sheet, I go back to DaS and review how each of my watchlist tickers did at the open. I try to see if there is a good setup I missed, basically just go over the open in my head again. I then move today's watchlist down to "Yesterday's Watchlist" and get my blank lines setup in my watchlist for tomorrow. When I was looking at BA, I realized that was the trade I didn't take. Look at the 1MinChart, the first two candles had big wicks down, I like to see this for 1MinOrbUps, when the third candle went through VWAP, I almost took it long, I actually had my finger over the hotkey, but I caught myself......the 100 and 200 SMA are right there above PCL and price action. It's refreshing to see that I'm catching myself before making mistakes like that. It's so easy to see after the fact, the trick is to see it before entering, and I'm getting better at that. This one I didn't even make it to 1:1 before first partial. I was a little more patient today with partials, still need to work on it this week, I really think the 2:1 is what I need to do. But man it feels good to get a partial and know the trade is going to be green no matter what after that first partial. Good start to the week after a bad week last week, I was -5.7R last week.

Ray, You make a valid point, however BA is not likely to fall below the $169.72 support line unless COVID strikes hard again. If you can catch it during a sell off day whenever it makes a new low (wick) below the level I mentioned you will probably be in good shape for a move up the daily trading range. I think this because there is too much institutional money in this symbol and the MMs will defend their position at all cost. The topside seems limited to a $185 max in the near term. Money is moving sectors and airlines have once again lost bookings due to recent increases in COVID cases, furthermore I think money usually invested in airlines and BA is currently in the space travel sector (look at BAs declining volume in the chart below). I do not say this antagonistically as I am long in $SAVE and a currently red -25% on that swing trade - poor decision on my part to keep it so soon in the COVID concern. That being said I am confident that $SAVE will be better off than some of the other airlines when this is all said and done as their daily burn rate is significantly lower and they have not taken much PPP money. I like $BA and have been DT it for 10 days in a row, I think there is upside but I would be cautious with any airline related symbols. Notice the volume declining in BA. A few days ago I thought BA would break out to the upside from the asymmetrical triangle and it did, but it was a false BO and now is on the downtrend line. Today it made a nice reversal move to green and then closed in red (below the same trend line - red line image 2). I like BA for a swing on 7.15.20 (yellow box) but currently I am skeptical. Maybe it will hit your target price given its current weakness.

Thank you Matthew!

Thanks @Justin and @KyleK29! My main strategy is HOD/LOD and this script helped me be much more precise then I normally am with my entries while making sure I still have a HARD stop. Just awesome

2020-7-20 <SIM> Trading Remote in Beaver Creek, CO ! Brought my laptop with no extra screens. Appreciate being in MST vs. PST and getting that extra hour of sleep ! +1.86R on only two trades. GREEN !! TRADE 1 $MRNA +.77R 1 MIN ORB Green Trade. I was up 2.5R almost immediately, dropped to 1R tried to get a partial and then got out for the rest... Thoughts? TRADE 2 $SPCE Reverse ABCD pattern +1.09 R Felt pretty good about this one... Planning on trading tomorrow, then back on the road to head home ! Afterthoughts Got up early, exercised, good watch list. GREEN DAY ! TWO GREEN TRADES = 100% After I got out of my last trade I just watched $SPCE and did not enter...felt good about not over-trading...wanted to hold on to the win !

@hailchaser2 wow congratulation on changing around your trading. looks amazing. I do meditations here and there and I think I will add one before the trading as well. I made two changes today (based on Tiffany's recommendation) which I think helped me: 1- increase my risk to 20 2- hid my p&L I was down $60 today after 3 bad trades and then turned it around and ended the day green

It's called an Elgato Streamdeck. Here is a link to the Icon set I made for my station.
