Hi Phil, just my 2 cents budding in as usual, I would not use a fixed $150 loss per trade (although that could be helpful from blowing up of course). I would always use R/R. Your long term green success is a ratio of your accuracy and r/r per trade. You throw an arbitrary number in there and it will mess with it.

Hey Phil, Ok, I think I've got something. The only issue is that there isn't (I believe...) a way to set a future price to buy/sell at that will trigger on the ASK or BID when it gets there. You can only set a specific price for a future open order to trigger at. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong on this. If you click on a price on the chart, fire this hotkey script, it will set an LIMIT order where you clicked. If it gets triggered, it will buy (for the long hotkey...) 100 shares and set a stop loss below that price, that will limit any loss to $150: For LONG: Price=Price;Share=100;Route=Limit;TIF=DAY+;BUY=Send;StopPrice=150/Share;StopPrice=Price-StopPrice;TriggerOrder=RT:STOP STOPTYPE:MARKET PX:StopPrice ACT:SELL STOPPRICE:StopPrice QTY:Pos TIF:DAY+; For SHORT: Price=Price;Share=100;Route=Limit;TIF=DAY+;SELL=Send;StopPrice=150/Share;StopPrice=Price+StopPrice;TriggerOrder=RT:STOP STOPTYPE:MARKET PX:StopPrice ACT:BUY STOPPRICE:StopPrice QTY:Pos TIF:DAY+;

If someone is interested, I wrote a few AutoHotkey commands to add new rows and perform other actions in the Market Viewer through hotkeys. In the attached file you can find hotkey scripts to: Delete the selected row (ALT+D) Delete all the rows (SHIFT+ALT+D) Add a new row (ALT+N) Export the current list to a file (ALT+E) Import the previously exported list (ALT+I) The last two commands are useful to copy the content of a Market Viewer window to another Market Viewer window Additionally, there is a command to add the current symbol selected in the Montage window to the Market Viewer. However, the script is written to work only if the Market Viewer window is the only one located in the same screen of the Montage window. If you need the script can be adapted to insert the symbol in a specific Market Viewer (follow the instructions in the script). To use the script, change the extension of the file to .ahk and launch it with AutoHotkey (https://www.autohotkey.com/) EDIT: Updated with a new version, including some new functions: Possibility to add the date to the exported files (IncludeDateMVList parameter at the beginning of the file) Some functions to calculate the profit targets based on multiples of your predefined risk A function to drag a symbol from the Market Viewer list to a chart (useful if you don't want to use a montage window for each chart) A function to toggle between standard and bigger Montage window height (to display wider market depth when needed) DAS-BBT-V1.ahk.txt

Hi Justin, Thanks again for getting back. To answer your question - yes, I was planning on making different hotkeys for something like 100, 250, 500, and 1000 shares. Perhaps just 250, 500 and 1000. If there was a way to do so, I could customize the data in the stop portion of each key to ensure a $150 stop across the board. Thanks again! - Phil
