What broker are you with? For example I’m with IB, so instead of STOPTYPE=MARKET, market is called SMRTM, so try replace with STOPTYPE=SMRTM (if you are with IB).

TommyK667 started following Keyboard/Mouse for Day Trading, Figured out Stop Limit entry hotkey, CCL short trade - Curious about your thoughts and and 5 others
-
So I've searched the forum before and I don't think I've found a definitive answer on how to do it, but I somehow figured it out today. Double click chart to set the price you want first. This is how I do it in case anyone is interested: -Stop Limit order for a long entry (say for a breakout), with 200 shares and 3 cents limit: Route=Stop;StopType=LIMIT;StopPrice=Price;Price=Price+0.03;Share=200;TIF=DAY+;BUY=Send (Shorting for a breakdown would be the same except change it to Price-0.03, and change to "SELL=Send"). -Stop Market order after the above order is filled to set a hard stop. Double click on chart to set price first: Route=STOP;StopType=Market;StopPrice=Price;Share=Pos;TIF=DAY+;SELL=Send (Again for covering a short it is the same but change it to "BUY=Send"). I have also realized there is a command for the replace button, which is simply "REPLACE". So now I have a hotkey for that as well instead of manually left clicking the RPL button in montage.

CCL short trade - Curious about your thoughts
TommyK667 replied to Lenny's topic in Day Trading Examples and Review
There seems to be quite a bit of support at that lower red dotted line. It had a failed 123 in the 1 minute. It moved up after a topping tail doji (which tends to signify bearishness on its own), so that would mean bullish. But a topping tail doji at the bottom range usually also means there's buying pressure too. It is far from the moving averages. So all in all I don't think it's an ideal short entry imo. A better entry would be a break of that lower dotted line level. -
Advanced Hotkey Webinar with Kyle!
TommyK667 replied to Carlos M.'s topic in DAS Trader Pro Tips and Tricks
Hi Kyle, Could you show us how to set a stop limit order long with a limit of 0.05 (or whatever arbitrary amount)? And conversely a short? With a double click on the chart to set the trigger price. I think there was some coding in the spreadsheet at the bottom but I couldn’t figure it out. Thanks!- 46 replies

I suppose you are using a layout file you used on your desktop? What I did was shrink everything in my desktop, then transfer that layout file to the laptop and resize everything to fit for the laptop. So you can see everything.

I recently got the Asus Zenbook 14 inch UX430UA on a sale, and its' great. My main priority is lightness so I can bring it anywhere and review my trades and journal (and also trade), and within my budget. I really don't want to get a cheaper laptop but with a weight and girth of a brick, that would really demotivate me to lug it around.

Stop limit triggered but not filled. What to do?
TommyK667 replied to Krob954's topic in Day Trading Strategies
I would suggest using Stop Market, to prevent exactly what happened to you. I would only use stop limit to enter into a position. If you are using Stop Limit for a stop, in your case, you are essentially telling the system "Exit my position at that price but NOT PAST the limit price." So if it passes your limit price, you don't want to exit? That doesn't seem to make sense....remember the stock market can remain irrational way longer than you are rational. Good luck! PS. It sounds like you might be setting your risk amount a bit too high if you are just starting, and are able to lose hundreds (or thousand) in a matter of seconds.- 1 reply

Keyboard/Mouse for Day Trading
TommyK667 replied to Richard Pfeiffer's topic in Day Trading Hardware, Software and Tools
I’m using a mechanical gaming wired keyboard and I love the feedback. For mouse I just used any cheap mouse. -
Thank you for your reply Kyle! It turns out when I installed the Pro version, all the BP in the TR account is reset to 0. I’ve sorted it out and it works fine now.

I'm not sure if it's just me, but it seems the forum font now is either lighter in color or using a thinner font, making it more difficult to read. I know there was a recent website maintenance over the weekend, not sure if this is related? Anyhow is there a way to change the font displayed in the forum by the member? Thank you.

Hi Kyle, First of all thank you for your work and sharing these hotkeys! I have been using them fine in DEMO version, but since I upgraded to the Pro version (I'm going live finally, linking with IB, but the link doesn't begin until tomorrow), the hotkeys don't work anymore. I have tried both the script William posted in the youtube tutorial: StopPrice=Price-0;DefShare=BP*0.925;Price=Ask-Price+0.00;SShare=20/Price;Share=DefShare-SShare;DefShare=DefShare+SShare;SShare=Share;Sshare=DefShare-SShare;Share=0.5*SShare;TogSShare;ROUTE=SMRTL;Price= Ask+0.05;TIF=DAY+;BUY=Send;DefShare=200;TriggerOrder=RT:STOP STOPTYPE:MARKET PX:StopPrice-0.05 ACT:SELL STOPPRICE:StopPrice QTY:Pos TIF:DAY+; and also one generated from your excel file: StopPrice=Price-0.03;DefShare=BP*0.97;Share=DefShare*0.25*Price*0.007;Price=Ask-Price+0.01;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=50;TriggerOrder=RT:STOP STOPTYPE:MARKET PX:StopPrice-0.3 ACT:SELL STOPPRICE:StopPrice QTY:Pos TIF:DAY+; but they both don't do anything, except setting it back to the default share and changing the price and trigger price. When I checked the messages in the montage, I see this (this is using the youtube version script): This is an example of long AMD with stop $28. I am not sure what went wrong from the DEMO to Pro version of the app...and I don't understand how they have became negatives. I have also tried using the spreadsheet script but shares also appear in negatives in the messages. Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you. I am using the training/simulator account on Pro with these.

Risk Control Page (DAS Trader Pro)
TommyK667 replied to Abiel's topic in DAS Trader Pro Tips and Tricks
@AJTrades Is your BBT Das Sim linked to a broker? What version of BBT Das Sim are you using? My Risk Control option is still greyed out... -
Does anyone who use TradingView notice the VWAP they have does not fit as snug as the VWAP in DAS? I have played with the settings and it just seems quite a bit off still, anyone have any ideas? Thanks.
