Anyone else using the DAS API?
Alastair replied to JCurry's topic in Day Trading Hardware, Software and Tools
Thts in the past now so no biggy. 25+yrs in software dev with coding (Financial and Retail Banking Systems, Credit Card Switching Technology). But I'm glad its working for u and I may lean on if I every decide to employ the DAS API. Maybe we can get a BBT community support going for DAS API developers.- 7 replies

Talk to @KyleK29 he had an interest too. I was exploring it to create a fully automated execution system, but had a negative experience with CEO and decided to put it on hold. So feedback from you would be appreciated. Glad I did as FOREX and Equities trade different so it took me a little longer to nail down my strategies in equities.- 7 replies

Alastair replied to smp's topic in DAS Trader Pro Tips and Tricks
@KyleK29 Pls invite @smp to talk abt FONTS and how to optimize for easier reading. DAS taking too long on his request. We need to use the BBT community experts to make the trading experience more enjoyable. Hopefully @smpwill reach out to @KyleK29 so we have a talk during our Tech Session today OR could you add to agenda today and swing it from ur perspective. -
FULL SCREEN (by error) WINDOWS - DAS TRADER
Alastair replied to juard's topic in DAS Trader Pro Tips and Tricks
Cool......thks.........I also hover over the win10 task bar....displaying the thumb nails of open windows on this monitor......right click the max'ed thumb nail......and select...........RESTORE. If u have not popped out ur window...................just double click any area will also restore down the window. One day I will write an AHK hotbutton controlled from my mouse to do this...one day. (Alt-space is another hot button for lines) -
Not sure heard some rumblings that CMEG was changing the pricing in the chat room. Cannot confirm if it has happened for new CMEG customers. Best to ask Andrew.

Are u in SIM ? it will act different in SIM bcoz of DAS differences between SIM and LIVE and CMEG and IB.

One man can make a difference ......... @Andrew Aziz u need this guy on ur web team. He creates great interfaces and visuals and understands how traders work. Excellent set of skills to compliment BBT's team. His body of work/contributions to the community is really appreciated.

Hotkey to set lines at R multiples

Wow, ur a little wizard......... how do u dream up things like this. -
Hotkey to set lines at R multiples
Alastair replied to Hamish Arnold's topic in DAS Trader Pro Tips and Tricks
DAS has a tool called Fib Retracement which could be repurposed for this. If DAS would modify this tool to allow the custom levels in a hotkey, via scripts, it would be helpful. Kyle has a bit of info on this here: https://forums.bearbulltraders.com/topic/912-an-idea-for-drawing-risk-reward-in-das/?tab=comments#comment-17145 But I would suggest u also send a request into DAS support via email to allow for the setup of custom levels in Fib Retrace with a script/hotkey tool and u could set all the levels for ur Rs. Each button could have different levels depending on ur needs. The more people that request and follow up on the request the higher probability that it will be done. Yes i have a request in but I would appreciate that u also request the enhancement too. -

Cost of IBRK with DAS TraderPro
Alastair replied to Roberto's topic in Day Trading Hardware, Software and Tools
Surprised nobody responded as a lot of people use IB and DAS with the tiered/per share option. Unfortunately I do not use IB. -
LOL....we should have a summit, u think !!!

I closed my acct with them and switched to CMEG. Customer service at CMEG is world class plus read this link abt Alliance below: https://www.loopjamaica.com/content/alliance-financial-ipo-remains-suspended Not great from a brand perspective but do ur double checks. http://jamaica-gleaner.com/article/business/20201230/alliance-financial-suspends-2-billion-ipo-regulators-probe-matter

Covering Shorts with Marketable Limit Order
Alastair replied to actionjackson's topic in Day Trading Strategies
Do you use MARKETABLE LIMITS in pre-market ? If not, do u know if its possible ? Whts ur expert opinion ? I am also trying to understand the best use of STOP LIMITS in pre-market and general market. -
I'm sure I saw an tick box in DAS which does this automatically too. Not near trade station, but sure I saw it recently.
-
Thanks for the above response. Another question for @Justin or @KyleK29 on pre-market trading. Missing too many great opps in pre-market, time to start trading it. As per normal, my broker only accepts LIMIT orders with TIF set to DAY in pre-market. To minimize buttons in montage I would like to use the default XL Sheet scripts BUY / SELL in pre-market. as they are already on montage. I am assuming the TRIGGER order part of script will just reject and allow the BUY order part to go through ? Will close the trade with normal scale out LIMIT orders from XL sheet also 10% to 100% scripts ? With a profit or loss. Is my interpretation correct ? No more additional buttons required.

Generally u have the major criteria correct. Sometimes u see the turn sometimes u do not. And it comes with time, chart time under ur belt. 1. A level, significant one 2. Exhaustive or climatic volume compared to previous candles 3. Candle Pattern, Doji, Hammer, Engulfing, Harami 4. Break of high or the previous pattern in 3 above 5. Time / Sales - orders hitting the ASK, usually green. Tape speeding up 6. Montage - BIDS stacking, ASK lifting, ASK thinner than BIDS
