    Have wanted the feature to enable scrolling the Montage with mouse wheel in DAS for over 24 mths. Many persons have requested it over the years from DAS. Well I decided to stay at a Holiday Inn Express for the past week (Yes my head is hard, took a week) and have written the code below, 😎 use at your own risk. The is another function from the group, Tech Tools for Traders (TTT) of BBT which I have developed out of frustration. Pls enjoy. Test, test and re-test before implementation. Any suggestions for additional tools or fixes pls drop me a note. No promises. You will need to install AutoHotKeys. @KyleK29 , @Justin, @peterB @Andrew Aziz, @Bryan W, @RobertoPls spread the word, thks. /* AutoHotKey script to Click top arrow and/or bottom arrow of a specific scroll bar in DAS Trader Pro Montage */ #SingleInstance Force #InstallMouseHook #NoTrayIcon #MaxHotkeysPerInterval 200 SetTitleMatchMode,2 #IfWinActive, ahk_exe DasTrader.exe ~WheelDown:: ; User clicks in window then scrolls with mouse wheel.

    I too hope this thread is still alive. I work a full time job. My boss is kind enough to let me take an "early" 1 1/2 hour lunch break. I'm on AST where the market opens 10:30 am local time. I jump in the car at 10am, drive like hell to get home at 10:20, flash up my trading station, copy the stocks in play, set my levels and am ready 2 minutes before the open. I trade for 25 minutes, but it's the best time of the day to trade. Opening range / ABCD/ parabolic reversals. Then back to work for 11:30. I review and journal my trades each night. It's hectic, but at least I'm trading and progressing. I've been doing this for a year now. Not easy, but if you can find a way to trade the open, it's worth it. Build your account till you can trade full time. Good luck you guys...if you (we) can trade and work full time, think how great it will be to trade full time without that pesky day job!
