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

same as here

meanwhile look here for hotkeys

that is available here as the OCO order. the example there is 1/3 risk/reward so you need to adapt it to 1/5

it might have been that the post is so old that at that time it worked like that then it was changed in das over the time. or maybe you have enabled the new syntax in your das while the syntax you use is old syntax which does not work

you probably wrongly assumed that Pos-share on longs equivalent should be Pos+share for shorts, but it is not like that. Change the Pos+share to Pos-share and it should work. you are probably getting error Invalid shares because you are trying to set a stop order for number of shares you do not have or do not have the BP for. for working hotkeys always go here

Hi and welcome. Read this for possible solution https://open.substack.com/pub/traderpeter/p/why-are-your-losing-days-bigger-than?r=1wujo4&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

Preferably yes, because the old syntax is confusing while the new syntax is easier to understand with the custom variables. watch out for the quotes, they get copied wrong very often so make sure you rewrite them in your DAS

you enabled the possibility to use advanced script syntax but your syntax is the old syntax not the advanced syntax as explained here. i bet you get plenty of syntax errors in your log file.

you are not using advanced hotkey script

any reason why you do it this way and do not do it this way instead?
