it is 60% of the current BP so if you still have some BP on the 2nd key press it will use the 60% of the rest and add a true BP check for the first key press looks like this $myBP=5000; $want=$risk/$pricetostop; if ($myBP<=$want*LAST) { $amount=round($myBP*0.97/LAST,0)-1; } else { $amount=$want; } for the add it is more complicated for more modern hotkeys go here

this is crucial. congrats to this achievement. the rest was just a lesson to be remembered. do not repeat it ever. you can consider the 300k unrealized as a luck and not something you achieved with proper process so it is not earned and to be kept. forgive yourself first. it will pass. you never had the money in your hand. it was just a number on the screen. it did not change your life being there or not being there. you are still ok. you risked it and you lost it. that was the play. swallow. remember it. move on. https://open.substack.com/pub/traderpeter/p/why-are-your-losing-days-bigger-than?r=1wujo4&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false

Share=0.5*SShare; the 0.5 means half. if you want whole size remove the 0.5* from the equation. you have several steps that guarantee you will not risk $100 neither use 100% of the BP for better hotkeys go here

ROUND2 is old syntax to be used like PRICE=ROUND2 to round the PRICE field on the montage. With advanced hotkeys you should use the round() function eg. $mystop = ROUND(avgcost,2); for more info go here

or do it like it is 2025 and not 1999. StopPrice=StopPrice; is just useless in your code

the syntax is just wrong. you got chatgpt into hallucination mode which happens quite often - it gives you information made up which does not exist for hotkeys go here

that is because your order was not filled quickly enough, you can solve it by adding wait(1000) or try the Triggerorder syntax after your Send; command more on hotkeys

here are two soutions first second if you PM me there I have a single hotkey solution for both longs and shorts

i will be posting a solution this week

besides some minor syntactical errors in the hotkey itself you might be using your hotkey wrong. there are better hotkeys available for some time already which are more human readable and easier to understand so do yourself a favor and switch to the newer syntax, you will need to do it sooner or later anyway

you can backup and restore the whole DAS configuration from the tools top menu then the key combinations on your mac and virtual keyboard could be different so you might need to remap the keys to CTRL rather than the CMD keys from your MAC. for troubleshooting tips look here

There is a better way now
