    this will open a 3 dollar risk position with stop loss and 3R target OCO range order
    it will work only if you have enabled click to trade and montage style STOP

    So this is basically using the double click method to enter a position?

    maybe just define on what you want to accomplish and i will direct you to the right hotkey combination and how to use it

    I'm trying to set a price target at 3R on entry. I've tried with a price target and range order but none are working. Actually it works when I hit the kotkey twice but not once.

    it does not work like that. DAS does not know what your R is once you have a position opened as the order is held at your broker, not on your pc.

    Range orders of course work but the counting and submissions need to be submitted in one hotkey otherwise you will need to manually enter the range price values. Maybe it would be better for you to take something which is proven to work rather than trying to reinvent the wheel.

    Not sure what you mean about what your R is. One of the basic hotkeys is the Price-Target. How can that work if DAS doesn't know what your R is?

    trading is about adapting and this sounds like the easiest thing to do while its beenfits of having static risk without harder counting should be enough motivatio for you to overcome it

    Would you mind taking a quick look at my limit order. I think the hotkey edited something in the script that is not letting it calculate correctly. I am trying to set a limit order at 3R. This is the script:

    Route=Limit;Share=Pos*1;Price=AvgCost-StopPrice;Price=Price*3;Price=Price+AvgCost;Price=Round2;TIF=DAY+;SELL=Send

     

    A range order is not working also. Thank you!

    i do not understand. it is exactly as you wanted. 1% of 150 is 1.5 and 1% of 20 is 0.2

    if it is too much then  lower it to 0.5% or maybe you could do some set of hotkeys for each price level

    anyway 20 cents on 20 dollar stock is normal move

    sorry to ask but what is the problem of clicking into the chart to set the desired stop?

    I think I just need to adjust the settings until I find the sweet spot. I can’t adjust to clicking to enter I feel like I’m always late on entries.

    you are welcome, one day when you get to your first 100M you can buy me a Lambo

    So I have one more question for you, apparently you aren't done with me yet lol. I noticed from using this in sim replay that as I trade different stocks with a wide range of prices the stop significantly gets closer or farther away from my entry. For example, If I use the default setting while trading AAPL, it will set a stop about $1.50 from entry. But if I trade a 20 dollar stock it will set a stop $.2 from my entry, which can hardly tick on my chart and fly through my stop. Do you know of any way to make it consistent and put the stop a percentage of distance on the chart? So no matter what price the stock is on the same time frame chart the stop will be in the same place on my screen? Hope that makes sense. Thanks!

    *i have not tried it

    Looks like it's giving me the same error:

    Set default share to 100
    Error:Invalid Shares!
    Set default share to 886
    Set default share to 886
    AMD Bid:106.15 Ask:106.16

     

    Do you have any ideas on what needs to change?

    this one works for me. try it and adapt the number 30 and 0.99 as necessary

    That one works, thanks a lot! Would you mind posting the short hotkey, it's doing the same as my long key.

    It's still trying to take way too many shares.

    are you telling me that it worked with the double click method and now it does not with the counted percentage method? post your hotkey

    Yes it worked while double clicking. 
    this is what I was using:

    StopPrice=Price-0.01;DefShare=BP*0.97;Price=Ask-Price+0.01;SShare=10/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=400;TriggerOrder=RT:STOP STOPTYPE:MARKET PX:StopPrice-0.2 ACT:SELL STOPPRICE:StopPrice QTY:Pos TIF:DAY+; 

     

    Now it is this:

    StopPrice=Round2;StopPrice=Ask*99;DefShare=BP*0.97;Price=Ask-Price+0.01;SShare=10/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=400;TriggerOrder=RT:STOP STOPTYPE:MARKET PX:StopPrice-0.2 ACT:SELL STOPPRICE:StopPrice QTY:Pos TIF:DAY+;

    maybe add it before the calculation is done so it knows it will be rounded before the calculation

    Still getting this same error:

    Set default share to 400
    Error:Invalid Shares!
    Set default share to 2523
    Set default share to 2523
    NIO Bid:38.16 Ask:38.17

    It looks like it's trying to take 2523 shares of NIO when $10 risk would be around 20 shares. Not sure why this is throwing it off.

    the value you double click on the chart to set the stop is in the Price variable so you need to change the StopPrice=Price-0.01 to StopPrice=Ask*0.99

    StopPrice=Ask*0.99;DefShare=BP*0.97;Price=Ask-Price+0.01;SShare=10/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=100;TriggerOrder=RT:STOP STOPTYPE:MARKET PX:StopPrice-0 ACT:SELL STOPPRICE:StopPrice QTY:Pos TIF:DAY;

    It looks like this change works but only on stocks less than about $10. Anything higher priced and it doesn't enter a position. 

    This is what it says in the montage:

    Set default share to 400
    Error:Invalid Shares!
    Set default share to 2525
    Set default share to 2525
    NIO Bid:38.28 Ask:38.29

    if price is 100 and you want 1 dollar stop you need the stop to be at 99 so price * 0.99

    the stop price is an absolute value not relative

    of course first try in sim

    This is my long hotkey do you think you can highlight what you mean when you say change the stop price calculation?

    StopPrice=Price-0.01;DefShare=BP*0.97;Price=Ask-Price+0.01;SShare=10/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=400;TriggerOrder=RT:STOP STOPTYPE:MARKET PX:StopPrice-0.2 ACT:SELL STOPPRICE:StopPrice QTY:Pos TIF:DAY+;

    yes it is absolutely possible just by changing the stop price calculation in the script and use the current price *0.99 for 1% stop loss or 0.995 for 0,5% stop loss instead of the clicked stop loss

    Are you sure it isn’t price*.01? Wouldn’t 100*.99 give me a $99 stop?

    So instead of StopPrice=Price-0.01; I would want StopPrice=Price*0.01?

    I am having issues with the double clicking required to enter a position. Is there a way to change the hotkey script to calculate share size to just as an example as a %of the stock price and use that to calculate entry size and stop placement instead of using the calculation from the double click? For example, stock is priced at $100, so using that price*10% your stop would be set and calculated as if you double clicked $1 below for your stop? Thanks

    I'm having an issue where the hotkey will sometimes not fill and act like a limit order that just sits open. Kind of a strange situation, but it's pretty frustrating and I'm not sure what is going wrong because I got it directly from the spreadsheet. Anyone have any ideas what is going wrong?

    Here is the script that I am using: 

    StopPrice=Price-0.01;DefShare=BP*0.97;Price=Ask-Price+0.01;SShare=50/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;TriggerOrder=RT:STOP STOPTYPE:MARKET PX:StopPrice-0.3 ACT:SELL STOPPRICE:StopPrice QTY:Pos TIF:DAY+;
