the best approach to achieve that is tu use a given amount (not the numbers of shares) to open a position and use a % for the stoploss .... that is the only way that I managed to achieve that .... ex : set preset > amount to 5.000USD positions (TWS will calc how many shares it will buy or sell) and then set a 1% stoploss for 50USD risk this have a huge bug ! if the amount you use cannot be bought or sold short for 100 sh or more .... TWS will do 100 share lot !! for example setting up 1.000usd with a bigger stock (said TSLA) you wont get a nice result .... instead of around 30 shares, you will end up getting 100 shares (around 3000 usd) .... contacted TWS support and they have NO solition nor idea how to resolve that bug check this link for more information about my TWS setup (dark and white themes) + hotkeys : https://forums.bearbulltraders.com/topic/1144-interactive-broker-tws-setups-and-hotkeys/

Hi guys ! shared my setup, layout and hotkeys configuration here ! bock in dark theme and andrew's theme red over white !

Hi David, I custom built my workstation on August 2018, focusing on performance and bottlenecks. Take into consideration that I do trading, code Apps in several langs (Java, PHP, MySQL, JavaScript), do a lot a photo and video editing and last but not least : I needed it to be 100% Mac OS X compatible to boot natively Mac OS X High Sierra, Win 10 and Ubuntu Linux 18 ... Here is my shopping list : 3x Dell UltraSharp U2415 screens 2x WD Blue 2TB (5400 rpm, SATA 6 Gb/s, 64 MB caché) 1x WD Black M2 PCIe Hard Drive 512GB (PCI Express 3.0, M.2, FCC, UL, TUV, KC, BSMI, VCCI) MotherBoard : Gigabyte Z370 HD3P LGA 1151 (Socket H4) ATX (DDR4-SDRAM, DIMM, 2133,4000 MHz, Dual, 64 GB, Intel) CPU : 8th Gen Intel® 12 Core i7-8700 3.2GHz 12MB Smart Cache (up to 4.60 GHz) Socket LGA 1151 CPU Water Cooling : Corsair Hydro Series H55 Extreme Performance GPU : XFX AMD Radeon RX RX-580P8DFWR 8GB Black Edition (3x DisplayPort + 1x HDMI) Memmory : 1x GSkill F4 - 3000 C15S - 16gvr Ripjaws V DDR4-RAM - 16 GB (upgradable to 64GB) WiFi : TP-Link Archer T9E (AC1900 Mbps, Banda Dual, PCI Express, 1300 Mbps @ 5GHz, 600 Mbps @ 2.4 GHz) Corsair CP-9020098-EU Series VS650 watts Power Unit Corsair Carbide Series 100R PC Box You can use standard 24-27" monitors with no color gamut color calibration and they will be much cheaper. Total Budget around $2,000 (Computer $1250 - 3 monitores $750) ... Total Screens available 5 .... Motherboard have another HDMI output that totally works on Ubuntu and Windows10 Boot : Clover + GRUB + Windows Boot Manager on the M2 PCIe 512GB disk .... another M2 disk can be added for RAID and ultra perfance, but no needs for trading PS : I was using a 9 years old iMac 27" 2.4Ghz with 1x HDD + 1x SSD and the improvement has been huge .... GPU is amazing and now it is cheaper bc RX590 just got out a couple of months ago.

I have been following Andrews daily recaps for a long time, read his books and finally ended up joining his community ... I am a the newbie around here and feel that this is where I belong. Trading is much much more than the P&L at the end of the day !
