Hey,
I'm having issues with hotkeys in DAS. I just want to place long or short orders for 100, 200, 300 shares etc. Then I want to be able to place a Stop Loss about 20 cents away from my position. I also use the Move Stop To Breakeven script. I also use sell/cover 5%, sell/cover all hotkeys. When I place a long order of say 100 shares, it works fine. Then I use the Add Stop Loss - 20 cents hotkey which works fine too. However, after adding this, it then changes the montage order to "Stop" permanently and I have to manually go in and change back to limit. After adding the S/L, if I press Buy 100 shares, it comes up as an OCO order. If I try to sell the 100 shares using my sell hotkey, it also comes up as an OCO. I just want to place simple orders but seems like either I'm missing something or DAS is just awkward to use. Also, after using breakeven hotkey, it does the same and rejects my order when I try to sell/cover positions. Some help would be much appreciated as the only way around this is to change ticker then change back to the ticker which I have a position in to refresh the montage, but this could lose precious seconds! Below are my hotkeys:
Long 100 Shares:
Route=SMRTL;Price=Ask+0.05;Share=100;TIF=DAY;BUY=SEND
Short 100 Shares:
Route=SMRTL;Price=Bid-0.05;Share=100;TIF=DAY;SELL=SEND
Sell 5%
ROUTE=SMRTL;Price=Bid;Price=Round2;Share=Pos*0.05;TIF=DAY+;SEND=Reverse
Cover 5%
ROUTE=SMRTL;Price=Ask;Price=Round2;Share=Pos*0.05;TIF=DAY+;SEND=Reverse
Add Stop Loss -20 cents
ROUTE=STOP;StopType=Market;StopPrice=AvgCost-0.20;Share=Pos;TIF=DAY+;SELL=Send;
Move S/L to breakeven
ALLSYMB;Route=Stop;Price=AvgCost;StopType=MARKET;STOPPRICE=AvgCost;StopPrice=Round2;Share=Pos;TIF=DAY;Send=Reverse
