Are you journaling/recording your trades? This should give you an indication if you are on the right path. 

[Economic Event Newsletter]

Hey guys 

Searched the forum for this and can not find it anywhere. Is there a place online somewhere where I can sign up for major economic event newsletters - particularly ones that move/influence market the most? Testing out trading SPY/SPX and would like to have something that would tell me ahead if a bigger than usual move might be coming. 

Thank you!

autostop means that the opened positions will be closed. if you set max loss or total loss without autostop it will not allow you next trade while allowing you to lose on an opened trade up to infinity

what you need is only to set Total Loss and autostop to be protected

max loss is just for a ticker i believe

i stated wrongly that autostop is not supported in IB it is the drawdowns in stop gains that are not possible

Hi Peter,

Are you referring to this portion here? Been talking with DAS support about it today actually. But if it doesnt work with IB I guess there is no point. 

[Stop Limit Order in DAS Trader]

Hi guys 

Would like to start off by saying I really appreciate all the knowledge being shared here and I am very happy I found this community. I've recently made the switch from IB TWS to DAS Trader as it seems like the best option for day traders in Canada and overall pretty happy with added functionality but there is one thing that's been driving me crazy. I typically don't keep any positions overnight in my cash account but when I do I always use the stop limit sell order (for long positions) in TWS just in case the position starts going against me in pre market as I dont turn on my broker until 9 am next day or so. But since using DAS Trader, everyone at their support keeps telling me that there is no way to use Stop Limit aftermarket (or premarket) with DAS. Would you guys know why that is? My understanding is if DAS connected to my IB account I should be able to use all the available routes in IB? If the stop limit is in fact missing from DAS then the only option I would have is to apply it using IB TWS or on the website? I got so used to being able to use it and now this is really messing me up

Thanks for any insight on this, appreciate it very much
