  1. Ok thks.....I will wakeup at 4 EST and run a few tests using the test symbol ZVZZT and my SIM acct. The data feed should start flowing at that time.
  2. Ok wht I am assuming (need clarification/confirmation) is if I add CXL ALLSYMB to my BUY button (the first position) is put on with no problem as I had no orders.....the CXL ALLSYMB does nothing, has no effect. This position has a STOP based on where I double clicked. OK, then next......... the market moves in my direction, I'm in profit, I see a potential add setup........I double click my stop price on chart then click same BUY button........the CXL ALLSYMB clears the 1st STOP.......and calculates shares and and BUYS then Trigger order puts in a STOP for both POS.........(I am assuming POS is a system value meaning the whole position) .......... which is TOTAL size of both BUY orders. Basically this is "moving" the stop on 1st position as I double clicked above the entry price of 1st BUY order, which technically is in profit..........and only now have one R risk on, which is the 2nd BUY. This is what I am trying to confirm. Hopefully someone like @Justin or @KyleK29 can confirm.....or say i am typing rubbish. I believe the " ; " at the beginning of script has no effect. Willing to be corrected as I am not the subject matter expert (SME) on this topic. But I have not seen any difference in the trades I have put on in the past. I actually just removed them from the beginning of my scripts 10 mins ago trying to be neat. So will start tomorrow real slow unless the experts say otherwise.
  3. @kyleK29 U know I am just realizing that ur XL sheet BUY script is a very good script to ADD for a 2nd position, 3rd position to the Nth position also. All u need to do is add ;CXL ALLSYMB; to the at the beginning. So one single button can be 1st BUY and the Nth BUY. The STOP would be moved for the full position, i.e. including the 1st BUY, to the value u double clicked on for the 2nd BUY, the stop price. U do not need a dedicated ADD unless u need a different risk amt or percentage. Basically I can do this for my SSR Shrt and SELL scripts too. It would reduce the number of buttons I have. All my positions would be the same risk which is fine for me. This would eliminate 3 buttons for me, which I like, less buttons less confusion/errors. Am I correct ?
  4. DAS support just confirmed the max number for this box is "limitless". Awesome sauce !!! Definite upgrade this weekend.
  5. @Abiel That "configuration" means you have a max number or u can configure it to be any number ?
  6. Ram, thks. Do u know if it has a max limit now ? Can we enter any amt now ? Like all 9999999999's LOL. I saw tht screen while @KyleK29 was sharing his screen, but I had already reverted to the old version. Was thinking abt "re-upgrading" to 5.6 over week-end but need to know the max Global Trend lines limit. I neva delete my levels as they do not change once u have the correct level its a permanent level. may have to reach out to DAS support if u dont know the answer. again thks.
  7. This looks great.......currently I add a percentage when the trade is in my direction, guessing/calc in my head. So this would stream line my percent adding I assume. Where do u suggest to double click to set the stop ?
  8. Not the perfect solution but BBT community did the following and it worked for them....see thread below.
  9. @Paul aka Aurbano I am sending an SoS to you. I need ur help and time with a CSS for Finviz.com. Pls read the below BBT thread and tell me if u can help with this tool, the CSS part. Currently running the dark theme on Finviz. Many thks in advance.
  10. I like one the features of AquaSnap ........... can stick "N" number of small windows together and move as one. Awesome, BIG THK YOU. Hope more community members share neat little tools like these that help improve productivity / efficiency.
  11. @Drew2 Hey.......... Kyle did alot of work on this, following link below has an XL spread sheet with detailed instructions in the XL tabs and it will create scripts based on values u enter in the XL cells.
  12. Wow thks, did not know they had a limit. I use many many lines. I have removed the dat fie in past when it got corrupted.
  13. Not sure how comfortable u r with TAPE READING. Here is a thread about Tape Reading (L2 and T&S) which I think could help ur learning process. Feedback from other readers was positive. https://forums.bearbulltraders.com/topic/1916-bookmap-for-learning-level-2-and-ts/?tab=comments#comment-14463 This is just one of the components required/would be helpful in ur trading journey.
  14. Hey, Lived in Barbados for 9+ yrs. Generally, u should have no probs trading from Barbados as they have great telecoms firms/infrastructure. It will depend on the hotel/accommodation u stay at and the Internet connection they provide. Bigger hotels will have better and some AirBNBs can provide/upgrade connection packages from local ISP on request. Have been away from island for some years. While in Barbados was part of team that setup Bank of Montreal offshore trading floor, not sure if they still use it as it was years ago when SUN Microsystems was the hot computer systems. of the day. So capabilities exists from those days. Should be a blast.
  15. Since u asked directly. If it appeals to ur eyes and mind, YES learn it in SIM and master it b4 going live . Could take u 6 - 8 mths of daily screen time. With ORB u need to understand.... 1. Levels.....premarket and higher levels..... 2. Tape reading....L2 and T & S............. 3. Candle stick patterns .....read patterns on D, 60M, 15M, 5M, 1M. If u can see a 10 sec or 15sec chart tht can be helpful to an advanced trader. 4. Risk Management..... 5. Hotkeys........makes u faster and reduces the stress
  16. LTM is the best option as u have done. U get out wht u put in, I suggest the following : 1. Ask questions in CHAT and FORUM.....over and over if u dont understand 2. Search FORUM for ur topics of interest ..... I do it everyday and I have been trading for yrs.....learn something new or re-enforce something every time 3. Learn ur trading platform inside out...... 4. Manage RISK.....this will save u for the long term Welcome and Good luck
  17. @KyleK29, These r the ones u were planning but wanted DAS to complete a small fix ? Including the multiple OCO targets ? Wow, cool.....looking forward man. BIG BIG Thks.
  18. Responding since no one else has for some time. I dont have the answer, but u could do a live chat with DAS from website and ask. An educated guess as an ex coder would be "AvgCost2" is rounded to 2 decimal places.
  19. thats a neat trick......How many more little tricks like this u have ?
  20. Look for GLOBALTRENDLINES.......place a tick in box beside. I think its in ChartConfig menu option.
  21. 100% YES. This is similar to what I have done. I am a swing trader, but joined BBT to learn scalping in equities. However I use top down analysis ..........from Monthly to 1 minute timeframes. This allows me to see potential upcoming BIG swings but scalp into AND add on pull backs as the big swing plays out. This process will also help with intra-day swings also and capture 25R to 30Rs per trade. Tighter stops bigger profits once u find the right entry levels and add (scale in and scale out) as the price moves toward the big picture target.
  22. To answer to ur question would be to consider AGGRESSIVE and PASSIVE orders. Read the link and videos associated with the link for more detailed info. https://forums.bearbulltraders.com/topic/1916-bookmap-for-learning-level-2-and-ts/?tab=comments#comment-14463
  23. No other services. Alot depends on ur trader personality. BBT provides nearly 100% of what you need, T.I. Scanners, BENZINGA news / Squawk, Mental support etc. Listen to the moderators in chat, ask questions here and chat room, test different methods and the process....LEARN ur trading platform inside out....DAS, and u will grow slowly. It will feel like drinking from a fire hose, but work through it.
  24. Not required, unless u have funds to burn. Utilize BBT scanners and DAS scanners. Once u have mastered trading and want to refine ur stock selection process then u can invest in T.I. scanners. That will be in abt 12 mths, I estimate. Between DAS and BBT scanners u should be good in short to medium term.
  25. The 8:00 am NYT wicks are created by an internal clearing process among the exchanges/market makers. Bankers from the old days would clear cheques accepted/paid on behalf of other banks to increase efficiency, speed and better customer service. This is all internal and done at low transaction point of the day for the previous day. It has its roots when paper cheques were heavily used. Its all electronic now but same concept. The horizontal levels it creates existed before and are price ranges at which transactions happen during the previous day. Its very logical if u are a central banker from the old days. Its like an Automated Clearing House (ACH) software solution process except its for STOCKS. In my pervious life was a software dev/consultant/project manager/head cook and bottle washer for the integration and implementation of retail banking and investment banking systems and networks, Thor calls it "Tin Foil Line" ........ bcoz he was applying a conspiracy theory to its creation of the wicks. Google Tin Foil hat. Ask him during his sessions. But serious regulations and compliance restrictions guide the MM who MUST operate ethically, bcoz they are guaranteed a profit for providing Market Making functions to the market. Market Makers are almost like a monopoly (e.g. OPEC...oligopoly / monopoly / cartel, ur choice).
