Hi Zia, no, I didn’t. DAS is not geared for trading futures at all. I’m using Quantower and will be dabbling into Sierra Charts. These platforms are a whole new world and will blow your mind what they can do. Not even mention, that Quantower is free vs DAS $150/month.

Thanks Rob for your answer. I just really don't want to learn a new platform and set up a new account. I was hoping i can do it all with DAS. It does appear to be clunky for futures tho... ugh

Hi Kyle, or if there is anyone who has used the dynamic hot keys for trading futures. I'm wondering if it exists? I want to dabble into trading MES (for now) and would love to be able to use Kyle's dynamic hotkeys. Do they exist for futures? thank you, Kinga

Thank you, Kyle for your response! In the meanwhile I figured out my issue, which was the lack of BP in SIM after I restored my settings; and because of that, your hotkeys wouldn't work in SIM, therefore, I didn't even attempt to give LIVE trading a go. Once DAS helped me sort it out, life returned back to normal. 🙂 thanks again for your time! Happy Holidays!

Hi Rob, thank you very much for taking your time to reply. I really appreciate it. it was kind of you. I've never had those issues before that you are describing with the hotkeys. My orders simply wouldn't take in SIM after I accidentally restored my settings. I ended up contacting DAS yesterday and I heard back. As it turns out, the issue was that my SIM buying power was also reset with my settings, thus based on a 25K SIM buying power my trades with Kyle's hotkeys wouldn't go through. and because I couldn't resolve the issue in SIM, I never dared to try it out in LIVE. I know, the solution was right in my face, and I just couldn't see it. Needless to say, I'm very glad to be back on track and grateful for this group and for your reply! Happy holidays! Kinga

Kyle, I accidentally restored my settings (not realizing I didn't have a backup) and lost the ability to use Your hotkeys. I can reload them to the hotkey file (can use Thor's), but when I double click on the chart where I want to place my stop and and then click on the montage, nothing happens. I set up my settings originally over a year ago, and have no idea where to start. What am I missing? any other standard hotkeys work, cancel, buy fixed share size, etc. but not Your dynamic hotkeys. I have the the "order entry and order line movement" enabled in "chart area config". I do use a streamdeck, but even the hot keybinds don't work on my keyboard. this has been beyond frustrating and I appreciate any help and suggestions. 🙂 thank you!

Just one picture in a newsletter...

good idea! i will certainly do that and get them on the case 🙂 thank you!

Thanks Aiman for the reply. yes, I've done the shading and I've just unchecked the premarket data for the 15 min chart... would be nice if there was a feature when premarket turns off once the market opens.. 🙂

Hi Everyone, I have pre-market data set up on my charts, but I want to hide it once the market is open. Is it possible in DAS? thank you! Kinga

Thanks Abiel. Mine is working now as well. 🙂

Thanks Abiel for the reply! yes, I get the exact same error message! I'll send them an email. thank you!

Hi Guys, I am in sim, however, since last night I can't log into DAS. I keep getting an error msg" Lost Connection to Order Server". i have restarted DAS and restarted my laptop since. I've tried to switch servers in File > Switch Quote Server , but I have no access. Any ideas, thoughts? thank you! Kinga

Hi Marek, Thanks VERY much for your detailed reply. i really appreciate the time you took to reply! i have narrowed my trading style down to ORBs. Luckily, i live on the west coast, so i can trade for an hour before i have to head to work, but that really leaves me with trading the open. which, actually fits my relentless style... i seem to get bored 30 mins in... while, i am just a beginner, i have identified my trading style and it is trading the opens... for now, i'm working on the ORB's and trying to find what time frame suits me the most. I get bored on the 15 mins, so it has to be 5 mins or under.... I'm only focusing on ORBs and using 1, 2, 5, 15 mins charts. lets' see what tomorrow morning brings.:) thanks again! Cheers, Kinga
