Quickly put together a helper page last Wednesday (?) to calculate the extended Pivot Points. Takes in a symbol, gives you the values for S5, S6, R5, and R6. Note: This is for those that use the DAS Study -> Pivot Points w/ Camarilla and Post/Premarket data included. > Special Note: Daily charts in DAS exclude the Pre/Post market data, so the data will not align (thanks to RP for pointing this out), please use an intraday chart when comparing values. Create a hotkey in DAS with the following script: https://kaelmedia.com/projects/tradepivots/?symbol=%SYMB% To use, just select a montage and hit the hotkey you just created. It'll launch a browser window which tells you the levels for S5, S6 and R5, R6. You'll need to mark these manually on the chart. The API I use for the data may not have all stocks, so just be aware if you don't get a value to first check that it got the proper symbol. It should say the symbol on the page, if not, try it again. BONUS Tip!: For those that experienced the PivotPoint wackiness over the holiday, you can fix this by right-clicking the chart -> Data Config -> Set to 5 Days minute chart (get 5 days worth of minute data is what this means). It'll then have the data necessary to calculate correctly. The default value does not have enough data to span the holiday. Also, may I suggest that Peter's next Thor theme song be a cover of "Amarillo by Morning" as "Camarilla by Morning".

Hi BBT family, After the amazing webinar by Thor about Camarilla Pivot points lots of members are asking how to add CamarillaPoints in thinkorswim. I would like to share my setup here. Step 1: Adding CamarillaPoints to the Chart : Right click on the chart> Studies > Edit Studies> Search CamarillaPoints> Add selected > Double click on the CamarillaPoints then you can customize. Step 2: CamarillaPoints Customization: I am attaching the customization picture , you need to repeat this for all the levels. if you choose different colors for each level you could easily distinguish between one another. Step3: Chart Scale: This part will correct the small candle size issue by adding these lines. Right click on the chart> Chart Scale> check only Fit study markers. ( If you check "Fit study" also you will see all the levels but the candles will be short. Hope this will help TOS users to setup CamarillaPoints.

Ever wanted to swap line styles on the fly and make a rainbow on your chart? You can do that in 5.5.0.0+. The hotkey isn't the easiest to understand, so I very quickly made a web utility for you (link below). How to Use: Go to URL: http://kaelmedia.com/projects/das-line-config/ Select a Line Type, default is HorzLine Select a Line Style, default is SolidLine Select a Color, default is Barney Select a Width, default is 1 Hit "Generate" Glance at the preview window and see if it is what you wanted. If it is, hit the "Copy" button and it'll be placed in your computers Clipboard. If you wish to share you creation, press the "Share" button and a special link will be placed on your clipboard to post in the forums. Example: http://kaelmedia.com/projects/das-line-config/?hotkey=ConfigTrendLine horzline dotline:035aab:1; Paste the copied hotkey (looks like: ConfigTrendLine horzline dotline:035aab:1; ) into your DAS Hotkey Configuration. Optionally, bookmark or save the line so you can edit it in the future (it adds the settings to the browsers URI/URL). How the Hotkey Works: The hotkey as designed will swap the DEFAULT config for the Line Type chosen, each type has one default stored for the user. So if trigger a hotkey with a horizontal line with a blue color, your very next (and all following lines) horizontal line you trigger on the chart will be that configuration (blue). Because of this, I have a "default line" hotkey and a series of colored hotkeys, this allows me to toggle back and fourth. Advanced Uses: Go HERE.

Hi All, Posting an update since I've had more time to use DAS with my TD Ameritrade account. My overall opinion that I like DAS with IB more, but I will continue using DAS with TD because commissions are free and the other differences are not big problems for me. DAS with IB seemed slightly faster and more stocks were shortable. Since there are no commissions, I have noticed that I have been taking more trades and partialing more. This is something I have to work on. Just be careful there are still some small fees and I believe some tickers may still have commission.). Regarding the DAS TD platform freezing, I updated to the latest version and seems to be better. Part of the slowness might also be something wrong with my docking station so might not be all related to DAS TD. However, I have had a handful of times where my order was just hanging out there and my montage said something like "order send pending!" During maybe 1-2 seconds, I have no idea what price I will be filled and I haven't had luck canceling my order while it's in this state. This seems to happen more early in the day. I also think that there is still some slowness in showing the filled order in the chart. It does that thinking blue circle that flickers (windows), hangs for a split second then shows my trade triangle and stop order. Hope this helps.

Sorry not purposefully trying to argue with you, but it definitely has to do with my broker. When I was with DAS IB, they did not restrict a person from closing all or part of a position when a stop order is open...no matter if it is illogical or not. When the stop order triggers for an amount greater than the current position, it would essentially be flipping the position...which should be allowed. I am only giving my comments in case anyone else may be affected since it was a shock to me at first when I switched. I was trying to partial and DAS AMTD would not allow something that DAS IB allows. Just want to let people know so that anyone that wants to be illogical can avoid the tiny panic I had trying to get out of a position. I believe this also means that if a person wants to put a bunch of target limit orders out there, they have to put OCO or range orders for each one, instead of one sided limit orders....also annoying. For me, I prefer the freedom to create orders any way I like with IB. This is a noticeable difference from TD. Anyway, the free commissions still make me stay with TD...for now. To add to my prior list of differences, I want to point out that the DAS AMTD platform has been freezing a bunch for me today and taking a bunch of my computer power. This delay was worse than the delays I had last week. Everything just stops for about a second and then continues like nothing happened most times I place/revise/cancel an order today. This did not happen when I was using DAS IB. If it continues for another week or improves significantly, I will inform this thread. (I have good internet connection, only Chrome and DAS open and have latest version of platform).

Hey Joe, I was chatting with a BBT trader named Jessie and he referred me to 2 videos he put on the BBT you tube channel regarding TDA with Das. He trades live in the vid's at open and he even has a very unusual confirmation problem in the beginning of the 1st vid. I really got a lot out of watching them, hopefully you will too. I've spent a bundle on commissions with IB since mar. 2020 when I went live and I would say that Jessie's videos have pretty much convinced me to switch to TDA with Das. Hopefully they help you too.

peterB - Your math is wrong - see figure in red! if LAST=100 & POS=50 (Last*Pos-100)/Pos (100*50-100)/50 = (5000-100)/50 = 4900/50=98 Last-100/Pos 100-100/50=100-2=98
