  1. Hey all! Amazing script thank you so much might help me a lot. I tend to exit my position sooner than I should. Anyone tried it with a fixed $ risk amount? Once 2R hits does the stop loss gets updated with the remaining shares. Also I've noticed that when the STOP Loss hits it doesn't cancel the order target orders. Anyone found a way to fix this? EDIT: Is there a way to do the following: (1) Have my stop-loss updated with the new position if it hits one of the profit targets? 2) once both profit targets hit have that order removed? (3) if any of the profit targets hit have the stoploss moved to the breakeven range? Thanks!! @KyleK29 @Day-Meister
  2. Hi all, Quick question, anyone uses the benzinga service for catching opportunities when they call option sweeps? Or maybe any other service? I was wondering because some services brag about offering flow tracking but im not sure if useful. Thanks!
  3. Hi All, Is there a hotkey that can buy X amount in $ + set a % for max loss? Like 2% or something ? Looking for only a LNG hotkey. This is what I have so far....taken from above. ROUTE=SMRTL;Price=Ask;Share=5000/Price;TIF=DAY+;BUY=Send DefShare=BP*0.97;Share=DefShare*0.25*Price*0.01;Price=Ask-Price+0;SShare=Share/Price;Share=DefShare-SShare;DefShare=DefShare+SShare;SShare=Share;Sshare=DefShare-SShare;Share=0.5*SShare;TogSShare;ROUTE=LIMIT;Price= Ask+0.05;TIF=DAY+;BUY=Send;DefShare=400;
  4. Hey justin! So im trying to get a hotkey (for futures actually) that buys X amount of shares (contracts) and then use a limit /range order on the average. Im using the following:

    To buy long 2 contracts: 

    ROUTE=SMRTL;Share=2;Price=Ask+0.25;TIF=DAY+;BUY=Send

     

    And the long range order for 2R is:

    CXL ALLSYMB; Route=Limit;Share=Pos;Price=AvgCost-StopPrice;Price=Price*2;Price=Price+AvgCost;Price=Round2;Route=Stop;StopType=Range;LowPrice=StopPrice;HighPrice=Price;TIF=DAY+;SELL=Send;ROUTE=LIMIT

     

    So my perfect setup would be hotkey to buy 2 contracts or X amount and then another hotkey define 2R / 3R etc....with a stoploss as I would do normally with stocks. Any ideas?

      You know... I know absolutely nothing about Futures and Options. So I really can't advise the best course here. I would suggest posting a thread in the forums 🙂

  5. Im playing on sim with FOREX and I get this same error. I wonder how to fix it?
  6. Hey man did you figure it out? just got my IB account and cant seem to figure it out .
  7. Hey all, hope someone can help me out. Im trying the hotkets and they work GREAT. I do have one issue and would like some help: When im long in a position and scale out I can reclick my Long range order hotkey: (CXL ALLSYMB; Route=Limit;Share=Pos;Price=AvgCost-StopPrice;Price=Price*3;Price=Price+AvgCost;Price=Round2;Route=Stop;StopType=Range;LowPrice=StopPrice;HighPrice=Price;TIF=DAY+;SELL=Send;ROUTE=LIMIT) and it re calculates the remaining shares to reset the new share number with the same stop range.... However, when im in a short position and i click the same scale out hotkey and hitting the Short Range Order: (CXL ALLSYMB; Route=Limit;Share=Pos;Price=StopPrice-AvgCost;Price=Price*2;Price=AvgCost-Price;Price=Round2;Route=Stop;StopType=Range;HighPrice=StopPrice;LowPrice=Price;TIF=DAY+;BUY=Send;ROUTE=LIMIT) it cancels the range order without getting into a new one.
  8. Hey all, ive been in touch with DAS and they issued a fix today for this problem. I actually had a remote chat with them and they logged remotely to verify the problem. ttp://www.dastrader.com/download/beta/DEMO.5.5.1.1.exe Or manually update the software. Cheers.
  9. Hey all! Im moving to Alberta next month ( not exactly BC) but im just looking for some guidance as to taxes in Canada as a Day trader? I've seen some information as to operating as a business so you get write-offs? No clue tho. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
  10. Hey everyone So I´ve been reviewing some stocks charts as part of my journaling and i've noticed that often (albeit not always) stocks that gap up/down tend to follow that initial push either up or down. Im wondering if you guys with more time watching charts can maybe corroborate this? I know it´s obviously not a rule tho but maybe it happens more often than not? Thanks!
  11. Anyone know if we can open an IB account as non-US citizens with IB Canada or IB UK and not be bound by PDT Rule?
  12. Thanks Robert, thats my plan as for the rest of 2019 lol, 100 a day builds the account, and paves the way for jumping to full time.
  13. Thanks Norm. New rule for the time being is 2 trades MAX per day. 100 USD goal per day. Just realized its around 20k per year. So for my first year that would be amazing since im still holding on to my current job.
  14. Hey BBT, On my second live trading day I lost 1k. I just had to say it. I feel dirty, miserably, sad, annoyed, angry at everyone and everything, with me with the market but with me most of all. I overtraded, I did not respect stop loss, tried to revange trade to make my first (small loss) back. I messed up.. I was ok with my size but I kept adding to my commissions, kept adding more and more small lossing trades. I did not stopped trading, I was angry. What will i do now? STOP trading at max loss. STEP AWAY. I will respect stop loss and if im feeling emotional I will take a break. I don`t want to blow up (more) my account. I want to do this for a living. I know this is a massive hit. I feel so dissoriented. RESPECT MY RULES. BE OBJETIVE. KEEP THINKING POSITIVE. I will re-evaluate my daily goals and focus just on ONE main trade hit my goal and move on. My new goal is 100 bucks per day over the next 10 days. I will make my money back. I WILL rebuild this blow. I will be focused, disciplined and a good trader that respects the rules. Anyway, just had to blow some steam and get it out there. Cheers, Fernando Samora.
  15. I have a hotkey for covering shorts on the ask +.05 cents, so fat I have not yet encountered any problems with CMEG. Andrew commented on a post recently that CMEG is aware of the issues and are looking to fix it asap (in the upcomming weeks).
  16. Hey Isaac, you might want to try CMEG, i´ve ben using them and so far so good. Since they are outside of the USA they are not bound by the rule. Hope it helps, there is a lot of info on the forums about them.
  17. Good to know for future references....Maybe ill just avoid SSR stocks until further notice. Or just on very small size?
  18. So i just left it blank (whilst using CMEG) and the orders would not go through. So i had to place a "LIMIT" order type on montage. Since the hotkey is set to the limit order it wouldn´t allow me to place any other routing. What ill do is just place the LIMIT route on my setup > order config, and have all my montages use that.
  19. Im using CMEG, so ill try it out on sim before anything, don´t know if it´s the same. @Robert H
  20. Thanks Rob! It took me a while but i figured it out lol, can i leave the rest of the options blank? like "Share" "Route" and "AON/ANY" will it affect my hotkeys since i have them configured for Buying power %? Thanks!
