    check

    hello @bjaffry, that scripts achieve several targets in the process :

    1. Deletes all orders for the ticker.
    2. Opens a new limit order for 30% of the position @ bid-0.05 (DAY+)
    3. Opens a new market stoploss order for the position @ avg price (GTC)

    I'd check 3 things :

    • Share = Post-share >> are you sure that calculation is right ?
    • TIF ... double check if you need to make them both "DAY" or "GTC".
    • Mouse or focus position. Check if you need to click in your chart before pressing the hotkey.

    just a small add  ... I am a dark theme guy for everything and when I am into any other type of environment I suffer.

    For those like me just use this small variation on another Stylus configuration file to invert the video feed colors. Advise : good GPU for on-fly conversion might be needed. 

    .webcamScreen {
  -webkit-filter: invert(100%) hue-rotate(180deg);
}

    @members due to very profund changes in the chatroom and my lack of time in the past months the theme shared in the first post of this topic no longer work. I took some time to update the icons for the 6 tabs and few things more. Here is the result. Please refer to the first post of this thread to check how to setup it up !

    100% agree with @peterB ...

    At the begining of your trading career, one screen is more than enough as you still need to start the learning curve with hotkeys and the platform + the chart reading + pattern recognition + L2 reading + etc

    Whenever you start doing some more practice, you can jump into a setup of 2 monitors or just 1 bigger one. It all depends on many things and IMHO is too personal to decide based in anyone else experience.

    I totally disagree with the idea of having 4 screen at the same time. Too much info. Only "professionals" with +5 or +10 years of experience will manage that amount of information properly. Most of the cases, they will do more wrong than good.

    -I plan on getting a 24" monitor to start, and then add as I need and advance in my trading career, is this sufficicent for now or should I just buy  a 27" or 32" now?
     

    Hi @greg g ... I agree with some of the comments that you already got ... screen space is the only concern to be explored before getting a laptop for trading. As @peterB mentioned, those specs are above requirements and you won't have troubles with any software platform (DAS or TWS) however you have to take into considerations some caveats : laptops expansion posts (USB, HDMI, etc) are fixed and limited and you wanna add some more screens in the future for a triple screen setup which is very common you might have very limited options via extension ports. On the other hand, a laptop will get you a trading station that can be used everywhere if you travel a lot.

    Thinks I'd take into consideration going all-in with a portable trading station : a good base, USB keyboard and USB mouse for best ergonomics 

    Super cheat ikea base:  https://www.ikea.com/ca/en/p/braeda-laptop-support-black-60150176/

    Screens : I've got 3x 24" Dell u2500 series (res 1920x1200) and I totally regret my decision. Now, after 3 years, I'd better get 3x 27" FHD 1920x1080 which are pretty inexpensive and common. Check this one as an example : 

    HP 27 Inch FHD 1080p IPS LED Anti-Glare Monitor : https://www.amazon.ca/New_HP-1080p-Anti-Glare-Monitor-FreeSync/dp/B097SMZBSN/ref=sr_1_5

    Extra Connections : you will need to expand your ports if you want to connect more than 1 external screen via expansion ports or expansion panels. Check this ones : 

    USB-C to dual HDMI Adapter : https://www.amazon.ca/Adapter-Thunderbolt-DisplayPort-Compatible-Pixelbook/dp/B0899HYCR3/ref=sr_1_15

    Portable Monitor : https://www.amazon.ca/PTVDISPLAY-Portable-Extender-External-Speakers/dp/B09BJX5CDR/ref=sr_1_6

    I'd choose the adapter + 2 extra 27" FHD monitors side-by-side with the main laptop screen + base + keyboard + mouse

    @Silviu please check the "Trend Trading Webinar" by @Aiman where you will find super dupper cool explanation about how to use daily ATR. Most of the time, a period of 14 is used on the daily chart taking into consideration both premarket and postmarket. Any platform like DAS or TWS will place the numbers for you in the charts just adding the indicator to the daily chart 😉 

    Apply logic 100% of the time: if the GAP+ the ORB is over 50% of the daily ATR(14) ... would you take a trade that have in the best case scenario only a 40% daily range available to capture ?? I wouldn't

    Hola compañeros hispanohablantes ! @Abiel me comentó que sería buena idea enlazar aquí el video que hice para explicaros cómo uso las teclas rápidas en TWS con chart-trader, que es la herramienta de trading directa en el gráfico que provee la aplicación. Es bastante más potente que DAS y me pareció interesante compartirlo. TWS es una herramienta muy potente a mi parecer, que sólo se queda atrás en DAS para el scalping.

    Espero os guste !

    Saludos,

    Pablo

    PS: @Andrew Aziz @Thor if you consider that this video might help others, we might try to translate it into English too 🙂👌

    menu correction

    hi  @Stefan Tanev i had this same conversation with another member this week.

    TWS has some Global settings that will be applied on every chart by default accesible via File Menu in the main windo...... Global Settings >> Charts >> Settings >> Prior close 

    Every single chart u open in the platform has override settings via the View Edit Menu >> Chart Properties ... You will also find there a “Prior close” setting that will only change that chart only ... 

    Double check those 2 and for sure your dashed prev day close level will show up on the chart....

    Besides that, @Abiel shared with u a post I update regularly with all the settings, mov avgs, hotkeys, levels etc ... hope that file can help u to setup a starting point with TWS 

    Regards,

    Paul

    hi @maesterfitch

    from what I know, IB does not provide tick-by-tick data ... never .... ever ... not even for their own TWS platform ....

    they use a technology called snapshots and they provide 5s updates on the most updated charts and T&S so there is no way to get tick-by-tick from their API.

    Also, go to the documentation,  your API queries will be queue if they are above the limitation meaning, that you can only do a certain amount of queries every 15 seconds.

    Hope I helped u with some information

    @Justin @Alastair remember to activate the DarkReader Plugin on Firefox or Chrome, but I think that now you can use the chat on the right side : just detach it from the main video window to another brower window. The new code provided here will fix the style now.

    NOTICE: there are 2 independent browser windows side-by-side... u can fit the size as u wish ...

     Enjoy !
