    Daniel, thank you for sharing all of this.  I find it incredibly insightful....job well done!

    One big question though....Why don't you build hard stops into the scripts?  It seems that you've built this amazing machine to eliminate (or at least greatly reduce) human processing/emotion/error and allow the machine to calculate the risk down to .05 increments.  Why not let it execute on that calculation also instead of risking human emotion/error and missing the manual stop? 

    My style of trading doesn't use hard stops. If hard stops is your style, you can build them into your own hotkey scripts 🙂

    No one has mentioned VirtualBox. When I'm mobile and trading on my MacBook Pro, VirtualBox and Windows 7 work flawlessly.

    Update: I did end up switching to VMware Fusion. It has better performance and better support for multiple monitors.

    I took Onosendi's table and added in formulas to base the share size on account size and dollar risk per trade. You just have to update the yellow and orange fields once you download the file to excel and it will give you how many shares to take. It's based on a table so it doesn't have every single stop loss amount. I recommend using Kyle K's hotkey for entering positions based on your dollar risk.

    That's a lot of information to enter before each trade.

    When this calculation gives you the amount of shares to take, how can you adjust accordingly depending on Equity? Say a stock price is $84 and per risk you can take 200 shares, this means you are currently using $16,800. If you have an account with less than this amount and no margin, then share size would be invalid? What would be your suggestions here?

    Thank you

    In your circumstance, the only thing to do would be to lower your position size.

    Would you be able to press these keys also, long+q to go long at certain amount of shares without having to use the send order ?

    Start at the beginning of this thread, and read all of the replies. It will answer your last two questions.

    Is still working good? Any updates

    I use it every day - I couldn't imagine trading without it. You hear people say "it's hard to manage your risk with the more expensive stocks". With this method, it's not hard at all, since it's all already planned out for you on the keyboard.

    Only thing I've changed is, on A+ setups I'll take a bigger size. So if my stop loss is .30 away, I'll hit the .15 key, doubling my normal position.

    Let me know if you have any other questions/concerns.

    I read "How to Day Trade for a Living" over a year and a half ago, I join the chatroom while I was still reading the book.  The chatroom has been an invaluable resource for learning not only good trading habits, but the psychology of trading as well.  After a year of trading my husband joined me and now we trade together everyday.

    Thanks to the BBT community!!

    Are the same screens?  what is the screen resolution?

    5x 27" 2560x1440

    I have 6, and did the 3 on top of 3, but I didn't like how much I had to move my head to look at all of my charts. I also didn't like the way my charts fit with landscape monitors.

    The 5x in portrait ended up being perfect.

    You do not need to short right when you see an uptick. When you place an order, your ticket will sit there until it's filled if the criteria is met.

    I'm not familiar with CME, so I can't help you on that subject.

    When we trade, we're doing marketable limit orders +/- .05 of the current ask/bid. I may be wrong, but I think Andrew uses different hotkeys for SSR, which alters the order a little bit. If anyone can confirm this, and elaborate more I'd appreciate it.

    Nice setup @onosendi! 

    What stock price range do you use with this setup?

    How has it worked for you so far?

    Thanks man.

    I'm trading the pre-market gappers. Pretty much anything with high volume and good price action.

    I love it. It's so easy to manage risk - you always know what you're risking in every trade.

    I'm having an issue since the update where if I use the shift key to create a rectangle on a chart that it then zooms in on, the rectangle will get frozen on the chart.  If I click on it then it sometimes will then zoom in on the area, or sometimes it just gets frozen on there even if I change time-frames and I have to restart DAS.  Although other times it works fine.  Anyone else having this issue?

    Mine does this too. It did it in the previous version, but it's wayyy worse now

    Since the latest update I´m getting a hand cursor in DAS charts, there is nothing in the chart where the hand appears. If double click it opens line config. If I want to zoom when hand active, zoom doesn´t work, just draws the rectangle. I have the option "double click to trade" active and it doesnt work with hand active. In some cases, there are so many places with hands and it is so difficult to get a spot to get the arrow cursor and right click for menus like config. Also is difficult to get confing lines.

    DAS Support answer: dev says this has been fixed for the next version.  If we release a beta version before the next full release, I will let you know.

    Mine is a little buggy too. I don't have your issues, but my trend lines jump around sometimes, and I can't remove a line with global setting enabled.

    Thanks for sharing! I modified your hotkey as risk 50/trade for me. And decorated my key for it as well. Don't laugh at my keyboard. haha

    May I ask what is the send order use for? I dont see a script for it.

    That's frickin' awesome!

    Long+Modifier+Send Order will go long, and uses the shares box in the montage. That way you can do more or less shares than your hotkeys will allow.

    Nice! May I copy your style? lol. I am now planning to put tick on my keyword just as what you did.  I love it!

    And also, DO you mind share your hotkey file?

    What is the function for send order and cancel order here? I thought the sec you press Long+Modifier+Q  the order will sent. Maybe it's used to send a stop lose order?

    I am new to day trading, much appreciation in advance!

    Of course you can use it!

    Here is the link to my hotkey file. Keep in mind, my hotkeys are set up to risk $150/trade.
