You cannot have it on montage yet (being a chart indicator). Maybe I can ask to be able to name a button with a variable then you would see it on montage as a new button. this was possible for years as a chart window now you can have it like this or like this - the yellow lines or like this on a hotkey/hot button all explained here https://open.substack.com/pub/traderpeter/p/das-trader-advanced-hotkeys-part-c83?r=1wujo4&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web and here https://traderpeter.substack.com/p/das-advanced-hotkeys-part-4?r=1wujo4

https://open.substack.com/pub/traderpeter/p/das-trader-advanced-hotkeys-part?r=1wujo4&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web to use dynamic risk instead of static risk we can use calculations by reading the Account Object for example: $myACC=GetAccountObj("YOUR_ACCOUNT_NAME_HERE"); $myIE=$myACC.equity; then use the $myIE variable instead of the static risk. I will cover it in the next article I am preparing regarding the reading of object properties. Or as I mentioned in the other posts, do it by changing weekly the static risk

https://open.substack.com/pub/traderpeter/p/das-trader-advanced-hotkeys-part?r=1wujo4&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web if your account is 50000 just set the static risk to $50.

Look forward to seeing you Mina

Hi, I would much appreciate if you could help creating a DAS hotkey for options trading? I'd want to buy a contract with the size based on criteria; - contract size: limited with a defined buying power ($2000) - Price entry: mid price - Attached a market stoploss: 85% of average cost Thank you so much for your help.

This stop is not right: ROUTE=STOP;StopType=Market;StopPrice=AvgCost;Share=Pos+share;TIF=GTC;BUY=SEND. Share=Pos This is a hotkey to partial 50% and move stop to B.E CXL ALLSYMB;ROUTE=SMRTL;Price=Ask+0.05;Share=Pos*.5;TIF=DAY+;BUY=Send;TriggerOrder=RT:STOP STOPTYPE:MARKET StopPrice:AvgCost ACT:buy QTY:POS TIF:DAY+ You should add Cancel order when you partial or close out pos with the last hk CXL ALLSYMB;Price=ASK+0.05;Price=Round2;Share=Pos;TIF=DAY+;BUY=Send; You should have orders window to see what's in there, somtimes big loss comes from unknown open order in there My breakeven hk for both way CXL ALLSYMB;Route=Stop;Price=AvgCost;StopType=MARKET;STOPPRICE=AvgCost;StopPrice=Round2;Share=Pos;TIF=DAY+;Send=Reverse This hotkey is very good to cover 50% at market for both way CXL ALLSYMB;ROUTE=SMRTM;Share=Pos*0.50;TIF=DAY+;SEND=REVERSE

In this video AdventureDogLA shows us how to set up Risk Controls in DAS Trader Pro. Risk Controls enforce limitations such as maximum daily loss, maximum shares traded per day, etc. Risk Control Page is a safety net to keep in control our loses, either to have an external control over our behavior as traders or due to a contingency such as failures in the internet connection, electric power outages, broker failures, etc. You can find "Open Risk Control Page" in DAS Trader Pro Account window, just right-click in any row of that window and Risk Control Page will open as a popup browser window to let you update your risk control settings. Some considerations: 1. This configuration works with real accounts and simulator 2. You can deactivate settings "Risk Control Page" anytime by leaving all in blanks and clicking SUBMIT 3. When you are using DAS linked to IB, or simulator, the Risk Control settings are handled by DAS. DAS staff updates your settings manually (the form is emailed to them) anywhere from 2 to 30 minutes during business hours. 4. In LOSS fields, enter a positive number. 5. “No new order” avoids orders for the current day 6. “Pos Loss” = Position loss. 7. “Enable Auto Stop” will automatically close your positions when you hit the Max Loss / Total Loss. 8. “Max Share - Max auto stop execution share per day” = How many shares can be sold / bought by the Auto Stop mechanism. 9. “Max Auto Stop Order Size” = Maximum size per order made by the Auto Stop mechanism. 10.“Delay for next order if exceed max order size (sec)” = Time between orders if the Auto Stop needs to place multiple orders to close your positions. 11. “Stop Gain Account Net Realized PL Thresh“, “Drawdown Percent of Max Net PL“ , “Pos Stop Gain Thresh “ and “Drawdown” - Like Auto Stop but for gains. The threshold is the profit the Stop Gain is looking to hit, the Drawdown is how much it can drop from that target before your positions are closed. Example, you set a threshold of 2000 and drawdown of 20(%). When you make 2000 in P/L, the Stop Gain will trigger, and will close your positions if you drop 20% ($400) from that value, closing you out at $1600 Net P/L.

Hi there I am sharing a sample swing trading plan to trade stocks in short-term rallies in a long -term uptrend. This is for discussion purposes only. Please feel free to send comments/discussions so our BBT Forum can benefit from same. The sample plan is based on information from instructor training, textbooks, Webinars, other swing trading plans, and information available on the internet over last few years. One good point up front is to keep things simple and this seems to be working for me. This is a sample base Stock Trading Plan that can be detailed to suit individual requirements. In summary, the plan generally consists of: 1. Prepare a Watchlist of stocks with good fundamentals: growth and revenue 2. Fundamental analysis of each stock in the Watchlist 3. Technical Analysis of each stock in the Watchlist: Trend, trend strength, momentum, and comparison to market, sector, industry and sub-industries 4. Graphical analysis/markup: confirmation of: long-term trend, short-term retracement, and start of short-term rally; buy point, projected target price, projected target time frame, stop loss exit point, partial and final profit exit points 5. Risk Management 6. Miscellaneous routines and discussions Initially the routines seems time consuming but after time it gets better. Please note this is not an investment advice. Please seek investment advise from your own investment advisor. The attachments and notes are for illustration and discussion purposes only on our BBT Forum. 1-Swing Trading Plan - Short-term Swing Trading - Presentation.pdf

Hey, A couple things. First, with this script, before you hit the hotkey, you need to click on the chart where you want your stop loss to be. That might be why it's not getting a valid price. Second you'll want to change your Route to "Limit" while in sim. StopPrice=Price-0;DefShare=BP*0.925;Price=Ask-Price+0.00;SShare=20/Price;Share=DefShare-SShare;DefShare=DefShare+SShare;SShare=Share;Sshare=DefShare-SShare;Share=0.5*SShare;TogSShare;ROUTE=LIMIT;Price= Ask+0.05;TIF=DAY+;BUY=Send;DefShare=200;TriggerOrder=RT:STOP STOPTYPE:MARKET PX:StopPrice-0.05 ACT:SELL STOPPRICE:StopPrice QTY:Pos TIF:DAY+
