flip is just a double position stop but sometimes you may be not filled because of margin requirements so be aware of that

SYMBOL is a symbol it does not matter what it is for the order preparation on montage so i think there is no way to determine it (now) documentation is very vague in the application itself in the hotkeys section. better documentation with some explanation and examples is here https://traderpeter.substack.com/s/dastrader-hotkeys

that would require more complicated hotkeys containing conditional execution (or placing a set of orders) which is possible but it comes with some challenges. I might be covering it in one of my hotkeys posts here https://traderpeter.substack.com/s/dastrader-hotkeys feel free to ask there any of your requirements I can use for the use case

if your account is in different currency then the conversion rate against USD applies. you can convert your account to USD to be the same for commissions it is actually a default setting of DAS - they guess the commissions by default with some value - you contact das support to change your commission pricing per share as you like to have more precise results but it will never be 100% beware of other dastrader nasty "features"https://traderpeter.substack.com/p/trading-platform-choice

I do not know TOS much but for DAS you can check here if you see its features are useful for you https://traderpeter.substack.com/p/trading-platform-choice

you can use the new syntax for orders but specifically this line drawing has been fixed in 5.7.9.3 only

$PRICE+($TARGETR*2); this is not possible in DASTrader as it dooes not know the mathematical logics and brackets you need to do $PRICE+$TARGETR+$TARGETR instead see the log for the errors you get. there will be an error about route not being "LIMIT" etc. overall you should switch to the new syntax and forget the old one as the calculations done in the old syntax are now useless and it will be easier for you to understand what is going on rather than studying why the switches between SShare and Share are there

solution of 2024 here https://open.substack.com/pub/traderpeter/p/das-trader-advanced-hotkeys-part-777?r=1wujo4&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

https://traderpeter.substack.com/p/das-trader-advanced-hotkeys-part?r=1wujo4 check here if you want to learn how to do it technically but i must warn you that SMARTM route is probably not what you think it is - as described here https://open.substack.com/pub/traderpeter/p/trading-platform-choice?r=1wujo4&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

there is one workaround which is very dodgy - you can place a limit order of one share on the desired stop then attach a trigger order to that one that would exit the whole position the 2nd option shall be possible in the new dastrader version which is to be released. (currenty the functionality crashes the whole app) i will be covering this option here https://traderpeter.substack.com/p/das-advanced-hotkeys-part-4 and the next articles it will have its limits still though

yes i talk to DAS developers and do some testing and proposals to them what you describe is easy to acomplish - you just set the variable one time before any trade to set your BP variable then calculate the 1/3rd from there anyway do not focus on the BP much as it can be misleading as you can have other margin requirements not allowing you to take the position. i do not see any logic in it. if you know your BP is 6 times your initial equity then just count the risk from 1/3rd of the initial equity as shown above regarding the other functionality i do not know i am not using shift or arrow keys to navigate and i am not going back to old syntax anyway

that is not possible and hardly achievable too as ATR is not a static indicator having one formula so you would need to calculate atr(xy) based on the xy custom settings causing ton of problems for the programmers to handle it. so do not expect that to happen anytime soon or ever

no. as written in the article.

then you do exactly what is written there man

it is explained here https://traderpeter.substack.com/p/das-trader-advanced-hotkeys-part?r=1wujo4 this hot button is correct. I have no idea what you want to do next with it though.

that is why you can just take the hotkeys i provide there. or ask for the ones you need 🙂

Yes it is a one way street. Never look back. Fix the old syntax hotkeys and look to the future.

You cannot have it on montage yet (being a chart indicator). Maybe I can ask to be able to name a button with a variable then you would see it on montage as a new button. this was possible for years as a chart window now you can have it like this or like this - the yellow lines or like this on a hotkey/hot button all explained here https://open.substack.com/pub/traderpeter/p/das-trader-advanced-hotkeys-part-c83?r=1wujo4&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web and here https://traderpeter.substack.com/p/das-advanced-hotkeys-part-4?r=1wujo4

you can have it as a decimal value for years, now you can have it as a custom variable in the variables window or on a button/hotkey as a popup window with the number

can't help you if you do not ask properly. i do not do any youtube videos so you might have watched someone else's vids.

it is in the 2nd article https://traderpeter.substack.com/p/das-trader-advanced-hotkeys-part Future/stop order entries with static risk of $20 and attached range (OCO) orders of 3R target also please understand that i moved forward and will not be providing any help in my articles with the old syntax hotkeys as it makes no sense to use it anymore

https://open.substack.com/pub/traderpeter/p/das-advanced-hotkeys-part-4?r=1wujo4&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true there you go @meatskin2000 @Yogi_theWanderingTrader

to be honest (and still humble) there is nothing else than my substack as far as i know. DAS documentation does not exist and some of those features are my requests to the DAS programmers so I know how those functions work from our communication only.
