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

this is not an equivalent of the panic. here is why - this will close only the position of currently selected symbol - it does not use market order to exit the position so you can get just skipped it is also syntatically wrong and here is why - you read the $Pos then use Pos which are two different things if you run the hotkey when montage is in focus - if the spread of the stock you want to exit is wider than 0.25 then you can get skipped very easily the true panic will be possible only once DAS will let us to read all the current opened positions from the trades window. hopefully they will make it possible this later this year. to see how these things work go to https://traderpeter.substack.com/s/dastrader-hotkeys

you can name the montage windows and hotkeys then call the hotkey executions through the montage object with a $montage.exechotkey("hotkeyname") as mentioned here

so obsolete...

thanks @Matt @Kevin D it is in the part 2 https://traderpeter.substack.com/p/das-trader-advanced-hotkeys-part just change the $target according your needs

hi, i gave you a resource with working keys yet you decided to use something else and it does not work. yes you are right. you doing it wrong. it is 2024 so you should forget the DAS Video series scripts from 12 years ago and save yourself a lot of trouble by using the new syntax. on your screenshot there is obviously no number of shares set hence the invalid number of shares

just go here and do not forget to read this as well as there are some requirements to be set in the settings too

Well, it is possible in 2 ways. One is described here it is not a traditional order therefore das support has to tell you that this kind of order is not possible (on the brokers side) but you can manage your orders on your pc. with its own challenges of course, nevertheless it is proven to work and I use it every day with success On another note, trailing vwap as a stop might not be the best idea as if you look at any chart the vwap bounces happen but the vwap is often tested. Luckily with the method linked above you can calculate your trailing stop easily to be slightly below/above vwap
