First of all, apologies if there is a simpler way of doing this, or if it has already been discussed.
I've been playing around with my stream deck, I've never really used one before, and I found the multi action key incredibly useful.
I've always had problems with not taking profits or taking them too early, so I setup a multi action hotkey that buys into a position with my stop where I double clicked using this
FocusWindow Level2;StopPrice=Price;Price = Ask-Price; Share = 200 / Price;ROUTE=SMRTL;Price=Ask+0.03;TIF=DAY+;BUY=Send;TriggerOrder=RT:STOP STOPTYPE:MARKET STOPPRICE:StopPrice ACT:SELL QTY:POS TIF:DAY+
I then use for my multi action hotkey the following, a profit target of 2R of 25% of my size
FocusWindow Level2;Route=SMRTL;Share=Pos*0.25;Price=AvgCost-StopPrice;Price=Price*2;Price=Price+AvgCost;Price=Round2;TIF=DAY+;SELL=Send
25% at 2.5R, cancel stop orders and set stop to break even
CXL STOP;FocusWindow Level2;Route=SMRTL;Share=Pos*0.25;Price=AvgCost-StopPrice;Price=Price*2.5;Price=Price+AvgCost;Price=Round2;TIF=DAY+;SELL=Send FocusWindow Level2;Route=Stop;Price=AvgCost;StopType=MARKET;STOPPRICE=AvgCost;StopPrice=Round2;Share=Pos;TIF=DAY+;Send=Reverse;
and 25% at 3R
FocusWindow Level2;Route=SMRTL;Share=Pos*0.25;Price=AvgCost-StopPrice;Price=Price*3;Price=Price+AvgCost;Price=Round2;TIF=DAY+;SELL=Send
I know this is really simple, but before when I did want to do this I was entering my trade with a hotkey, then pressing all the additional ones.
As I mentioned, apologies if this is really long winded approach, please do share any more optimal methods

Yes and no. It works fine if the windows are already popped out. But doesn't seem to work for those inside the main das window.

Thank you for this great script! I'm using it for my long position with a fixed $ risk. I was however wondering if there was a way to reject / not send the order if the number of shares I can afford are under 100? Sometimes in the heat of the moment I get in only to realise how far my actual stop was and the position size just wasn't worth it
Thank you

Hi again
I've been trying to make a hotkey that will create a new 1 minute chart and pop this out. I found the script below in the das trader manual but what it does it creates a chart and then pops out one of my windows at random in my layout, but the new chart doesn't pop out. I'm assuming that I need to select the chart somehow, but any idea how I can do this?
NewWindow Chart; Symbol QID; SetPopOut Y; MinuteChart 1;NumBar 25; WPos 382 0; WSize 600 500;
Thank you

This is what I have so far
ROUTE=SMRTL;StopPrice=Price;Price=Ask+0.03;Share=200.0/(Price-StopPrice);TIF=DAY+;BUY=Send;TriggerOrder=RT:STOP STOPTYPE:MARKET STOPPRICE:StopPrice ACT:SELL QTY:POS TIF:DAY+
Which seems to work apart from
Share=200.0/(Price-StopPrice)
Any suggestions?
I was also wondering if it was possible to not execute the trade if the average risk per share was greater than (for example) $0.40?

Hi all
I'm looking to create a simple hotkey that works as follows;
I double click on the chart which defines my stop, I think hit my hotkey and buy as many shares as I can such that I lose no more than a total of $200 should my stop be reached. As the trade is sent a stop loss is triggered too at the place I clicked on the chart.
Any help would be much appreciated
Kind regards

I have tested, but once one is sent does level 2 not lose the focus? Could you not add FocusWindow Level2; to the start of each one?
Alternatively, I just posted about the stream deck multi action hotkey, this could fire multiple hotkeys one after another. So save each of these as a separate hotkey, and then assign them to the multi action hotkey to trigger all.
