Anyone willing to host today ? I could use ZOOM........ jus have not done it in a while.

We could form a second group and ask Earl to visit every once and a while ?
I think he has limited the current group.
If interested lets talk abt it and ask him to share some of his time. @Erwann @Pedro Pereira

LOOOOLLLLL.........U do not know this but I have 7 monitors now ..........so 3 more would be crazy, but the opportunities r so much.
As a scanner I use TradingView see below and sort based on ATR, hoping to find longer runs.

Me too....was wondering if u noticed smaller runs on a Friday in general ?
PFE was the best for me, but noticed that a few others "non-traditional" tickers did make big runs. But the opportunities are significant, makes me want to buy 3 more monitors...LOL.

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.

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.

Feel free to email me directly and we can chat ([email protected]).
I didn’t even realize this thread was here. I’ll look over these posts and reply very soon.
Thanks
Earl,
Since u offered.....have u ever evaluated the U-Turn setup to the SHORT side ?
Many thks for presentation.
I am sure many questions will be directed at u in this forum.
-
Generally it looks right to me, but I am not the expert. You still need to add in trade management rules.
It is a great entry setup which I have in my playbook with my own tweaks.
-
Thks, looking forward to this, will implement at end-of-day. appreciated
-
@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.

This is an excellent question haha!
I hated it so much when this happened. I had to close the window, open another window, load configuration etc…. it was a nightmare just to avoid getting annihilated on a trade.
I actually figured out this answer by accident, and I was so happy when I did!
If you press Alt + Space a context menu will appear that will allow you to Restore the window to its regular size.
Good luck trading,
Bailey Nevener
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.

Wow, ur a little wizard........

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:
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.
-
Kyle has it one the agenda, so watch his Monday sessions.
-
Surprised nobody responded as a lot of people use IB and DAS with the tiered/per share option. Unfortunately I do not use IB.

I closed my acct with them and switched to CMEG. Customer service at CMEG is world class plus read this link abt Alliance below:

Not great from a brand perspective but do ur double checks.

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.
-
8 minutes ago, Justin said:That's correct - with IB it'll automatically tick up for your when a stock is on SSR.
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.

On 2/14/2021 at 11:35 AM, JohnC said:A work around for a horizontal line is to use the "HorizontalLine" command
To add to ur comments u could also do the below command to config the horizontal line in the hotkey:
ConfigTrendLine horzline dashdotline:1a6316:1:ffffff:1a6316 ;HorizontalLine ;
Which gives the Hex color value for the line and line flag.
