Not sure if some of the listed bugs still occur, or how consistent these hotkey scripts work, but I'm thinking it might make sense to just use 2 separate hotkeys that are simpler, one to just get the sizing right for the risk, then one to set the stop (you can pretty easily set up a stop loss order with a hotkey that allows you to click on chart and just set it for whole position after you've entered.
Using fjmocke's scripts from the post linked in op here: (the red underline is the $ amount you want to risk if stock hits this level), although I personall
Buy
Price=Ask-Price + 0.01;Share=125 / Price;ROUTE=SMRTL;Price=Ask+0.10;TIF=DAY+;BUY=Send
Sell
Price=Price-Bid + 0.01;Share=125 / Price;ROUTE=SMRTL;Price=Bid-0.10;TIF=DAY+;SELL=Send
then you can simply use Account=#######;Route=MARKET;Share=Pos;TIF=Day;NewOrder StopMarket (then obviously put whatever type of market order you want to use in here, I like to use LAMPM on cobra to save money on ECN)
I set this up on weekend so I couldn't test, but is there any reason this shouldn't work? Sure it's 2 hotkeys and makes it into 2 steps, but seems more fool/bug proof. Any replies much appreciated!
