  1. I am not sure...........I personally closed my acct with them more than 12 mths ago for other customer service reasons. I had posted about that in this forum. If my memory serves me correct from my days in banking i.e. 20+ yrs ago, you cannot have a banking license in Jamaica with a criminal record. So, if convicted the owners/operators will have to sell the institution (i.e. the customer base) or close it down. Being the financial "wizards" that they are I am sure they going to try to make as much money off the customers base......and possible some local or oversea financial institution will buy, to make a dollar. Not sure which direction new shares holders will take the institution. Andrew has/had an account with them, I think.
  2. Welcome to the group. I do not like answering a question by asking a question, but eventually I will have to ask a few in this case. ORB's are thought to be easy bcoz u see and entry signal, the hard part is the STOP placement. In Ed's Chat Room he has very very specific rules for ENTRY, STOP and TARGETS (i.e. levels). Not sure if ur STOP was within his rules which is a 5M ATR6. If u have not been in his room strongly suggest u visit and ask for the link to his 3 recent vids he did while being a BBT Mod. They explain his 5M ORB specifics in detail and how to read Price Action, PA. His vids have not been uploaded to education center yet, they will be, but members in the room will share a temp link to them. So onto the questions: (which I do not like to ask.......as it can be frustrating as a beginner without the right knowledge) 1. I assume its a 5M ORB, where was the STOP calculated to be ? Why ? 2. Did u draw levels ? Where did u identify these levels ? 3. What was target ? 4. Did stock have catalyst ? or u traded with MARKET direction ? 5. Awesome u STOP-ped out .....if that was part of ur PLAN. Didi u have a PLAN ? 6. Not all ORBs work...they do fail.....and u need to understand the PROBABILITIES for success with ur SETUPS. Look forward to seeing u in Ed's Chat room.
  3. U know what I have found if u run a desktop and a laptop and need to utilize same DAS layouts/files ensure ur GPU runs same resolution as desktop otherwise u will be resizing chart windows etc when u switch/transfer files between both computers. Otherwise do not transfer files, jus define each machine with its own DAS layout and populate data in chart window and watch list.
  4. Reviewed ur vid again........... 1. Did I see "Chart" option create 2 charts ? 2. Also try.......... Initially create one chart only in DEFAULT tab. Save the file. Exit DAS. Restart DAS, ensure chart windows works in the DEFAULT tab, then create TAB #2, create Chart Window in TAB #2. Save and exit DAS. Restart computer, restart DAS and check. Observe behavior of DAS then. These are things I did to understand how DAS works or does not work. Sometimes DAS does not kill its process also, that is the reason for restarting the computer.
  5. Suggest u send vids to [email protected] and/or [email protected]. When u submit clearly state version of DAS, user name, how u expect the windows to work. Clear and concise bullet points. Currently I maximize my chart windows which are in a TAB using the top left of the chart window, with a double click..........BUT, I have chart window borders off...........its where the red/blue bar is. (Note: in darkmode, which I use, the red/blue bar does not appear/work............its a bug I live with.....DAS !!!!). To restore down the chart window, I double click on any clear part of chart window background. (Found that out by accident......lol). Will code a simple hotkey to use a windows win-restore feature in the future. It took me 14 mths to configure DAS so I could use ....... I wrote alot of code outside of DAS to manipulate DAS. U have to play with it for a while, unfortunately, to get it to do what u need. I still have a few requested urgent bugs/enhancements outstanding which I am waiting on DAS to fix/complete. Yes I am still paying them monthly.............and cannot really get it working fully. Happy holidays to u and ur fam.
  6. I use TABS extensively in DAS and have not seen this, BUT I will try to replicate. I use a mouse buttons to hot switch to multiple TABS on both laptop and desktop. However, also in addition to PeterB direction, I suggest u try this. Open a new TAB, create a new chart window, do not click or highlight, "show on ALL TABS" in chart window config option. Also use a diff SYMBOL, jus grasping at straws in this part of the instruction. DAS is not the smoothest app BUT it works most of the time. Good luck.
  7. Currently nope.....BUT u may DAS to make a mod so it can be done. I did ask 12+ mths ago, still waiting.
  8. Info abt Alliance in local paper today.........be prepared..... Alliance bosses, companies charged with financial crimes | News | Jamaica Gleaner (jamaica-gleaner.com)
  9. Heads up on Alliance.....see this article in local news paper.....be warned....... Alliance bosses, companies charged with financial crimes | News | Jamaica Gleaner (jamaica-gleaner.com)
  10. Additional info as of today.....Alliance bosses, companies charged with financial crimes | News | Jamaica Gleaner (jamaica-gleaner.com)
  11. Have u watched Ed (AJT) in the SMALL ACCT room trade 5M ORBs ? He only trades these in the mornings and is successful at it. Stock selection is very very important, need a catalyst for the ORBs. Check out his rules and style. He never trades AAPL as an ORB.
  12. Add to Mkt Viewers and its on Montage
  13. SIM or LIVE ? Broker ? Is double to trade ON ? Version of DAS ?
  14. I seriously think u should look at ur script or ur execution...........................it may not be written correctly. If DAS has a critical bug Karen / Tom will get it fixed, but u need to show that u have found a bug, send the log files. Enhancements and other modifications is another issue and is scheduled based on resources. DAS owns the software not CMEG and has the experts to fix. Suggest u speak directly to DAS and provide log files and screen grabs.
  15. I am currently following up with CMEG on this issue. U should know that the DAS app backend is controlled and managed by DAS. So I would direct ur hard core technical issue to DAS Support hotline/web based live chat support. @StephenMeowkmus Has this issue reappeared in your trading ? It should work based on the manual screen grab and may be a one off issue. I don't think CMEG tech team can handle this issue.
  16. In my opinion only.........ORBs are great if u couple it with learning to READ THE TAPE. Especially ORBs taken before 5 minutes when volume may be sketchy ( in the first minute and limited with only 1 min candles). Tape reading will allow u to understand the initiation of Bullish/Bearish pressure before it becomes obvious. With a little understanding and a few weeks of practice u can add this skill to ur arsenal to tackle the markets. See here to explore more about reading the tape (L2 and T&S): https://forums.bearbulltraders.com/topic/1916-bookmap-for-learning-level-2-and-ts/?tab=comments#comment-14463
  17. See new release of DAS 5.6.4.15. Released last Friday
  18. The better thing to do after u leave SIM is to risk $7.00 max in your live acct until u can prove to urself that u are profitable for a week. Each week u are profitable increase ur risk by $3.00. U may not cover ur costs initially, but u will not deplete ur account so fast. It will give u time to deal with ALL the issues/pains of a new trader while protecting ur capital.
  19. pity....I was thinking I could out smart them
  20. @Brian Pez I was thinking abt this.......So I would set a LIMIT order in the opposite direction of my ENTRY to act as my STOP, similar to my TAKE PROFIT, same share size. Then I can sleep at night ? LOL. Reduce quantity/size since after hours are thin ensuring I get fully filled amount.
  21. Correct for both......Demo and news is an additional. I get my news from TraderView. I do not know anyone who uses the DAS news feed. Other traders use FinViz news service and BBT provides Benzinga via BBT website/chat session.
  22. Check this post for specific mechanical steps which I use to read/intrepret the tape. It maybe helpful or it maybe a waste of time, either way read, digest, discuss and provide ur opinions. https://forums.bearbulltraders.com/topic/1916-bookmap-for-learning-level-2-and-ts/?do=findComment&comment=22979
  23. Both Kyle and I have observed strange DAS coding methods. We tinker using our past coding experience. Kyle is much better, as I am 25+ yrs removed from active coding. Also I am OCD.....LOL....so the flag not being the right color as the line was a true nuisance...........ha...ha. Enjoy.
  24. I think u will need to manage/delete the horizontal after activation or end of day as u see fit. But better than nothing.
  25. U could try adding a horizontal line automatically to the location u clicked. I saw this somewhere, did not use it myself but script/code would look like this: AlertName=Above/Greater;AlertType=LastPrice;AlertOperator=>=;PopupWindow=Yes;Speak=Yes;AutoDelete=Yes;AddAlert; ConfigTrendLine horzline dotline:8f3e24:1:ffffff:8f3e24 ;HorizontalLine ; U can change the configuration of the horizontal line to ur own preference. Example of how to get the colors to ur preference can be found with Kyles Tool here: WEB UTILITY: DAS Hotkey Line Style Configuration tool. - DAS Trader Pro Tips and Tricks - Bear Bull Traders Forums
