    Does anyone have a desktop config file to share for DAS with optimal chart configurations and hot buttons for trading options? I have a good setup for day trading stocks, and used Andrews config as a starting place and also use Kyle's hotkey scripts for buttons. Is there a similar desktop, hot button scripts and chart configuration for those interested in day trading options? I'd hate to reinvent the wheel if anyone from the community can help. @Andrew Aziz @nassarsyed

    Hi everyone, When you are calculating win rate for certain strategy, do you include "bad decision" trades? or only trades that are in compliance with your own rules in your playbook? Also what do you consider a "win" trade? Any trades resulting 1R or above? above breakeven? Thanks! Would be interesting to see the win rates for common strategies such as ORB and abcd etc.. Thanks!

    I have some questions which I am hoping will spark discussion and get some ideas and input from people out there in the BBT community. My questions here relate to psychology and basically how our brains functions when under pressure. For the past several months I have been practicing in sim at trading the open, trying to learn how to do it successfully. I have been focusing on only the 1 & 5 min opening range break out strategies and trading only these strategies. I have been gathering a lot of good information about these strategies when I journal and look back at what I did. Overall, I have been profitable, in sim, on these two strategies, but I still want to improve certain things before I feel comfortable going live with them. In order to tee up my questions, let me give a basic summary of my morning trading routine. I get up each morning at 4 am since the market opens at 7:30 am for me, Phoenix, AZ time, and that’s how long it takes me to get ready, eat breakfast, and tune into Carlos’ and Norm’s premarket show and do my morning premarket prep along with them. Then, as the clock starts ticking down to the open, my adrenaline starts ramping up just a bit more the closer and closer we get to the opening bell. Eventually the bell rings and it's go time! I wait and watch for the first minute to see what happens. Once I see a stock I want to trade, when it breaks out of the 1 min opening range, or sometimes on a pull back after it already broke out, I take the trade. I use KyleK29's hot keys to dynamically manage the amount of shares and set my stop. Once that trade is done, which usually happens pretty quick, I either make a quick profit, or I stop out, I then quickly change modes and start looking at the 5 min charts and look for a good set up on the 5 min opening range breakout and repeat as similar process on the 5 as I did on the 1 min opening range. These trades all happen very quickly. Once I am done trading the open, I always go to Chartlog and journal the trades immediately after. I normally spend about 4 times as long journaling the trades as I do actually executing the trades (about 15 min trading, and an hour journaling). In the journaling process I often gain valuable insights into mistakes I made, things I missed, or things that can be improved, etc. These things I notice while journaling are often patterns that repeat and which, with fairly simple solutions, if remembered to implement, could increase my win rate and overall profitability substantially. The problem I have noticed, is that I only tend to recall these valuable insights once the fast pace of the market open is over and I go back and reflect and journal my trades. Even if I write them down, I tend not to remember until after it is too late and I notice that I repeated the same mistake again. My first school of thought on fixing this problem of forgetfulness is that I simply need repetition in order to commit these lessons to muscle memory, or, in other words, until they become habit. That way, I can devote my conscience mind to concentrating on other things related to trading while many of the lessons and rules I learn from journaling simply become second nature, which I can do in my sleep without even thinking about it. Making a new habit requires time and much repetition so I would want to keep trading in sim until I always (or nearly always), follow certain rules and trading patterns out of habit. Then, on the other hand, another school of thought I have is maybe I need to focus more on relaxing and getting mentally loose in the morning at the market open so that I have more brain processing power available for recall and I do not have a mental freeze and forget basic things that I should know. Maybe it’s a combination of both. Maybe both of these solutions go hand in hand, one feeding into the other. In other words, as I start to commit lessons learned to habit and memory, I will build more and more confidence over time and thereby be more relaxed and looser while trading. Does anybody have any opinions or thoughts they could share on this topic? If so, please share. Thanks in advance!

    Well, I think that 1 min and 5 min orbs are deceptively difficult. There is a lot more going on than just a well defined opening range near vwap. You need to be fast, have very strong psychology and also have an EXCELLENT intuition for momentum. I'm not saying you can't do it, but what I am saying is that it's a difficult way to trade. From my perspective it seems like most traders that are great at trading the open spent a LONG time trading other non-momentum strategies. I know Thor was trading ascending / descending patterns for a while, Aiman doing ABCDs for like 8 months or something crazy, Andrew has a lot of content trading VWAP strategies when he started ect.. OF COURSE you're nervous, how you perform in the market any particular day is boiled down to how well you trade within a 10 minute window, it would be strange not to be nervous. And you know what? The market isn't always going to give you crisp nice 1 or 5 minute orbs on a daily basis, it's just not gonna happen. I'd spend time on strategies that are not based on momentum to practice dealing with the emotions that are tied with risk (mostly fear), risk management, and VPA. Andrew makes it look easy, but make no mistake, the dude is a stud, and he's been doing this for years. If you're WAY too stressed, then I think the answer is always to risk less, even if it's in SIM. Trading In The Zone by Mark Douglas is a great book too, I think you can get the audio book for free on Audible for a month. Just my opinion 😛 Hope all is well, -Chris

    It is mentioned in "the unknown market wizards". The Gain to Pain Ratio is calculated by dividing the sum of monthly portfolio gains by the absolute value of monthly portfolio losses In Brandt’s view, a Gain to Pain Ratio of 1 or better is quite good, a ratio of 2 or better is excellent and a ratio of 3 or better is world class.

    There is also something called the Opening Cross: https://www.nasdaqtrader.com/content/productsservices/trading/crosses/openclose_faqs.pdf This intentionally places the bid higher than the ask to basically curb volatility. Read bullets 1 - 4 on the link provided for why! It also has interesting stipulations about how it handles orders placed between 9:28 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. which have actually jacked me up really good in the past! Directly from the opening cross FAQ provided by the NASDAQ: " Limit Orders placed after 9:28 a.m. are treated as Imbalance-Only (IO) orders for the Opening Cross. Market Orders placed after 9:28 a.m. will be held until the market opens and will not participate in the Opening Cross. "

    I am by no means a moderator on this website. However, if it is true that the content you formally had available to you is no longer available mid-payment cycle: You are all correct that, ethically, you should have been grandfathered in because whenever you initially made the transaction to join Bear Bull Traders, you did so with those services as a part of your purchasing reasons. Obviously Bear Bull Traders can change how they run their website as they see fit as long as there isn't anything written in black and white being violated. Changing the services being offered without any, obvious, official, notice on the services removed from the current rate is incontrovertibly unethical. (which whatever the notice was, if there was one, was clearly not obvious if these comments are here) This kind of thinking without accountability is propagated by (I won't say whom) several members and moderators unfortunately, extending to several aspects of trading. For example: It may be an unpopular opinion, but if an execution is incorrectly made in a traders account, a platform malfunctions, or any other mechanical/technical error outside of the trader's control causes loss to that trader's account, it is the right (AND should be encouraged) that the trader at a loss (if for legitimate reasons) seeks out compensation on behalf of the defective institution. THAT IS HOW ETHICAL BUSINESSES ARE RUN. I 100% agree that Interactive Brokers, DAS, and the exchanges are not always going to work properly. In regular life this is akin to buying a car from a dealership, and as you take an exit off the highway, the brakes don't work. If you hit the back of another car, hit a person, or crash into an inanimate object because you were (correctly) assuming that the brakes would work, it is either, LEGALLY, going to be the car manufacturers or the dealerships fault. Similarly, if my broker, platform, or the exchange performs an action ON MY BEHALF that is incorrect and out of my control, I should (rightly) seek compensation from them. This is not a question of who is "right or wrong" morally. This is just simple logic, the liability for actions that are out of the consumer's control, ethically, the providing institution is responsible for. I have not had an issue with my platform or broker for quite some time, but I have seen others get completely destroyed by glitches at the wrong time with their data feed not related to their internet connection. It is an Elitist Mentality to discourage people from seeking out compensation and extremely demeaning to make fun of them for doing so on a live stream. Similarly, it is an Elitist Mentality to not inform those you collect money from that your services have changed in their quality without notice (accountability) while paying the same rate. This mindset clearly extends into other aspects of the site and I hope that this reaches eyes that don't recoil at truth, but I hope they try to improve from it. I will gladly delete this comment if this is publicly rectified. It is certainly in BBT's best interests to address this.

    Rob, Thank you so much for replying sir! I am also not made for day trading either. Perhaps before I joined the military I was easy-going enough to shake off the stress of trading, but nowadays it is something I have to directly plan to counteract. It has stressed my relationships more than I could have ever anticipated and my life in general. It actually has been one of the hardest things I have done. I have hit consistency enough times that, with proper systems in place, I can keep the profits from my last streak, go into the sim, and come back out making money again. Respect that you are hitting it like such a madman. In order for me to hit consistency it easily took over 2 1/2 years, but if I didn't have a job that whole time I am almost certain it would have taken below 9 months. However, I could never really know. Also I 100% agree that the hype of the chatroom keeps me excited about trading, but goodness no matter who is trading, Thor, Andrew, or Brian, if they take a trade and for whatever reason I jump into it, I lose money every time. Therefore I also started muting them before I experienced any consistency. It seems a lot of us on here have that going! Good luck with your trading as well! Bailey Nevener

    Hi Baily, Thanks for your post. Nope I still have a day job. When I started learning/practicing day trading, almost 3 years ago, I did create a business plan. The time line I gave myself was 5 years to learn the trade and work my way up to an income that I can sustain my present cost of living. I didn't see any profit for the first year and a half. I am definitely not made for day trading. My heart would pound against my ribs on every trade for the first year. So I had to make a lot of modifications to my personality. I think this was probably the reason why I stuck with it. I saw improvements in my discipline and patience in all parts of my life. Trading was essentially the vehicle for self improvement. Also I was well disciplined with my risk. So I wasn't losing much money during the 1.5 years. Once profitable I ran into my next challenge which was sustainability. My systems in my tradebook seem to be profitable 4 to 6 months at a time. So I would prove them in SIM then spend a month with small risk. Then I would slowly increase my risk. Just about the time I would start making decent money my system would start to fail and I would go back in SIM to figure out what changes I need to make. I don't know if I have faulty systems or I am poor with continuously tweaking my tradebook, so they will fail sooner or later. I just hit a big snag like that recently. End of November I suddenly lost profitability so I went back to SIM. It took 6 weeks before I saw profitability return and now I am slowly increasing my risk. I know it sounds like an insult when it takes longer than others to reach CPT level. But it really isn't. All of us perform self programming to fit our life endeavors. If these self modifications happen not to be ideal for the traits we need for trading, it takes longer to become a CPT. I personally have a really bad FOBW. Likely from being an engineer. I don't design processes to fail 40% of the time. So its a big task to change my mindset. My biggest tip? Is turning off the chat when you are trading and only turn it back on when you are done for the day and just watching to learn. Just hearing the chat sways me a lot. When I turned off the chat, just before the open is when I made my first step into profitability. Good luck with your trading. Rob

    Hi All, I have a second "linked" account with IB which I'd like to use for my swing trading in DAS. This is in addition to my existing margin account that I already run with DAS Pro for day trading. I just checked with DAS and they said it'll cost me $50 p/m to add a second account. Can anyone with multiple IB accounts (ideally linked accounts, which means they are under one main account name) hooked up to DAS clarify their running costs? Hoping I'm missing something in that setting up a "linked" account in DAS is not quite as expensive as $50 p/m. Thanks!

    I was talking to my wife about this problem and it occurred to me that I think a good solution is to mentally role play through scenarios where I would have to follow certain rules or react in certain ways based on lessons learned in the past and go over and over these scenarios in my head and even in sim, not during actual market hours, just when it is slow and I have time to process and think clearly. That way I can start to make these behaviors become habit so when the market is open, I do not forget to follow them. I think of it similar to playing a sport, like basketball for example, you don't have time to change up your technique or analyze how exactly you want to do a layup right in the middle of an important game, that's what practice is for. During a game, for the most part, you must react quickly which is a lot based on muscle memory and instinct, learned habits. But during practice you slow everything down and analyze each detail and change patterns and try to change long learned bad habits and then practice the new way over and over until it becomes a new habit that you can execute upon in the heat of the moment during an actual game. It’s not wise to try to change and establish new habits in the middle of the game. I think that's the approach I need to take whenever I decide on a new rule or trading method I want to try out. I need to practice it repeatedly in my head and actually going through the motions in as realistic a setting as possible in addition to trying to remember to follow it when actually trading.

    The $150 package does NOT include the replay feature. The replay feature is an extra $15 per month. A SIM account is included on all live account subscriptions. For example, I have DAS Pro and IB; my default account is SIM, and if I see something that I REALLY like, then I switch to live. If you happen to get IB as your brokerage, make sure you request this to get an extra data package: https://bearbulltraders.com/request-special-das-package-for-ib-traders/

    I will be getting setup with DAS Pro this weekend, quick question about marketable limit orders from Andrew's book in advance. If I get partial fill, will remaining quantity of order be active unless i cancel it? here's the scenario: ask price = 50.25 / bid price = 49.75 i place marketable limit buy order for 100 shares @ bid price + $.05 I get a partial fill of 50 shares @ 49.80, but then rest of it doesn't fill. does that stay open until all 100 shares are filled @ bid + $.05, to where first 50 get filled @ ie: 49.80, but then next 50 get filled at 50.70 (once price goes up to say, ie: 50.65), all from my intial order? or.... is it that only 1 transaction, to where if i only get a partial fill, the order is complete, even if not for full 100. just wondering if i'll need to manually cancel orders that get partial fill, or if they close out even will partial fill.

    In my experience, while using the handling instruction ANY, the order will fill as much as it can within the limit, and then go away. If you use the instruction "AON", if it can't do all of the shares within the limit, then it won't fill at all. There is one more instruction, called "N Hold", but I don't know what that one does. If you use a market order, then it will just fill everything no matter the price which is why we use it in a stop order for most part; "get out no matter what!"

    bump... even if anyone has the IB TWS desktop config, that would be super helpful. If DAS can't really do this well, I am open to using TWS if that's what others use in this community.

    I cannot beleive you are doing this without notice and in the middle of a running month. This is outrageous! So overnight I was paying for this thing and today I am paying for much much less and your answer is "the section will grow over the next few months"? Seriously? What am I supposed to do meanwhile? How about you let people access to what we paid for while that section grows, give proper notice about the changes so people can decide if is still interested or not and THEN make the change??? I am really really annoyed by all this and I hope Andrew or whoever is responsible for this change have a second thought or you are losing a customer and somebody very enthusiastic about this community that has been recommending it and Andrews books until today sudden changes.

    I feel I need to write this because I'm overly angry at myself and my psychology. I'm a relatively new day trader, having started about 4 months ago. Prior to that, I was a swing trader for a few months. However, prior to that, I was an active long term trader, Series 7/66 licensed and just all around focused on the markets, economy, etc due to my job as a corporate banker. So, I'm not new to the markets and economy, especially fundamental analysis. But, daytrading is NOT any of this. It is daytrading. I was consistently profitable trading small shares. I would meet goal every day and figured if I can do it with small share size, I can up it and be profitable. Well, I started trading bigger shares and, by nature, the volatility rose. I would be down $200, but end up $200. Then, I'd be down $400, up $400. Well, I did it -- I had a $1,000 day on a High of Day break on Airbnb on it's IPO day. I felt on top of the world and that I was great. I really wasn't. Since then, I've lost nearly $2,000 trying to repeat this. I had one day where I lost $1700 in a single day, but managed to trade back to a $630 loss. Going big too soon was a huge mistake and I'm now realizing my mistake. I am not consistently profitable - I got lucky. Luck happens sometimes, but we aren't in the game of luck nor gambling. We are trading. Part of my issue is that I see all of the swing traders making a killing - I have true FOMO. I also see that I should just hold my positions for days on end and could do better than jumping in and jumping out on indicators. And I ask why? Well, here is why... I have devoted myself to daytrading and all of my funds. As I've learned, this isn't about guessing which way a stock is going to go and betting that it'll hit it. It is about intraday trading. Hitting a $1,000 day early was probably the WORST thing that could've happened to me. It has given me false confidence. As I continue to see my PnL go down, I have FOMO, ROMO, and all of the other OMO's you can have. I hope you heed my advice - Focus on the PROCESS not the PROFITS... I hope profits will come, but I am going back to the basics now. Not worrying about another K-Day. Would it be nice? Sure. But, I'm not experienced enough.

    Hi everyone! My name is Jeremy Olson. I live in Phoenix, AZ. My wife and I have 6 beautiful kids and we love spending time as a family. The kids are great (when they are getting along haha!). I am a CPA and tax director at a large publicly held trucking company. I started out my career as a CPA at Ernst & Young in Roseville, CA back in 2006 after graduating from Arizona State University's Masters of Taxation program. I was introduced to stock trading back around Sept 2019 by a co-worker that swing trades on Robinhood. I downloaded the app and got hooked. The potential to make money in the markets fascinated me but I knew that I had (have!) a lot to learn, so I Googled "best books day trading stock" (or something like that) and found Andrew's book. Then I graduated from RH to DAS and IB. It's been quite a journey so far. I basically tried going it alone for several months. I mean, I read a lot of books and had help in that sense, but I was not in the chat room or trading with anyone else. I had some success, but really more failure than success. But somehow I managed not to blow up my account, which is a good thing! So, I am still in the game, but I have been humbled by the market and I am going back to the basics. I am going to start over and do it right this time. I just finished "Class 1: How to Trade in Simulator and Introduction to DAS" last night. I am going to go through all the classes one by one, skipping nothing. My experience so far in trading reminds me of a similar experience I had in learning to play piano. As a kid, I always loved music and would play my parents old out of tune piano in our house off and on and taught myself how to play a few songs. They were challenging songs. I didn't start simple. I just went straight for the hard songs because that is what I wanted to play. I didn't want to do the boring stuff, I just wanted to play the cool songs right away. So it was challenging, but I pushed through and got to where I could play a couple moderately challenging songs. By the time I was about 38 years old, I never really learned to read piano music very well at all so I could not sight read anything. But I could, through painstaking difficulty memorize songs note by note and learn them that way. I had about 3 or 4 moderately difficult songs that I could play on the piano (or, at least thought I could play lol!), but that was all. Then I met a guy at a church activity that is a professional pianist/performer, the guy is phenomenal, truly a creative genius. His name is William Joseph. (I included a link below to one of my favorite songs he plays on the piano so you can see what I mean.) We became friends and he agreed to give me piano lessons (I had never taken lessons prior to this, well, I think I had 4 or 5 lessons as a little kid, but never stuck with it - I was almost 100% self-taught). At the start of my first lesson, William asked me what level I felt I was at as a piano player. I told him I felt like I was not a novice, but not advanced either, somewhere in between. Then he asked me to play something for him. He was kind to me and said that was pretty good, but I think he was lying because after that he started me on my first song, "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" lol! For reals, not an embellished version or anything, just the simple one note version, the melody only, no chords, nothing, just the melody. He wanted to take me back to the basics because everything I had taught myself to do up to that point was basically wrong, incorrect technique. I might have been hitting some of the right notes, but I was way too tense, and my fingering was all wrong, etc... He had me simply hold my hand above the keys and let it fall down on the notes and do that repetitively until I gained the muscle memory of being able to play the piano in a more relaxed way. He explained that I would never be able to progress or play very fast if I did not fix my technique and learn to loosen up. So, I had to go all the way back to Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to unlearn my bad habits and relearn new ones. I had to learn all the muscle memory the correct way, so I then had a foundation to build upon. I am now still not to the level of a concert pianist and probably never will be, but playing the piano is so much more enjoyable. Now when I play, I feel like I can make real music, not just plunk out notes. Anybody can learn to hit certain notes at certain times, but not everyone learns how to truly make music and make it come alive I relate this to learning day trading. I do not want to learn bad habits, so I am going back to the basics now and even though I feel like I know some things, I am going to be totally open and humble as I go through each one of the BBT lessons and all the webinars. I am going to keep a journal and make my playbook, etc...do everything the right way taking no short cuts. Let's see how far that will take me! There is something very familiar to me watching Andrew trade the open in the mornings. It reminds in a lot of ways of watching William play the piano, true genious at work. There is something intangible that they both have that is hard to define, but you know it when you see it. It's inspiring. Here is a link to William playing the piano so you can see for yourself how amazing he is! Here is me at my trading desk (The laptop on the far right is my work computer - been working at home since the start of Covid-19. The top right monitor is also shared with my work computer and my trading desktop computer. There is an HDMI switch, so I just hit the button on the switch and the top right monitor switches between being connected to my work computer or my desktop computer. There is also a switch to trade my keyboard and mouse between work and desktop computers, so I have just one keyboard and mouse to use for both):

    If you already have a brokerage, and don't plan to spend at least 3 months in SIM, then there's no reason to not get the live one. If you plan on spending at least three months in SIM, you can get it through BBT for a pretty significant discount, but it can't be linked to a brokerage. $300 for three months. https://bearbulltraders.com/order-das-simulator/

    We pay the premium for DAS Trader, because it's an excellent tool for fast paced day trading, and is integrated with IB. If you're with IB, you can use their own platform, TWS, but it doesn't have the hotkey scripting capability that DAS does, and it isn't collocated with the NASDAQ server like DAS is. That being said, many people have been successful using it for day trading. TOS for TDAmeritrade has issues with fill speed from what I understand...If you don't yet have a brokerage, and plan to be in the sim for at least three more months, you can get DAS through BBT for $100 a month and get the equivalent of the $165 month package, but you must pay for the three months up front and cannot get a refund after it has been activated. If you go with CMEG, they have their own branded version of DAS, and there may be a discounted price with a certain amount of trading, but I'm not sure.

    Right now just trying to focus on remembering that calls and puts are a potential tradebook option when I get pretty committed to the idea that a move is coming or a trend is going to continue throughout the day . . . normally I get to the journaling stage of the day and look at the plays i made and go "d'oh, i could have just bought some calls lol

    Thats awesome. I have always been copying and saving the the .dsk file, which is clearly not the way to do it. Thanks!

    Use the backup tool to save all your DAS config (Tools > Backup), it saves all config files (custom desktops and everything) in a zip. If you kept your original DAS folder all your files should be there. If you installed DAS in the old folder, all original files are gone.
