    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.

    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).

    Hey folks. I wanted to know if there is a way to customize the LULD levels on the montage window. How do i get it to pop up on my market depth chain, and is there a way  to create a custom color for those levels like there is in sterling.

     

    I have not seen a option to customize....its default set to white   LU  or   LD.  Suggest you do not use white in any of ur custom colors so LU  &  LD will show easier.

    U could ask for DAS to allow u to customize.  But edits by DAS take long, i have bugs, and edit requests in going 12 mths now.

    DAS offers a live CHAT support session from the DAS website.  They will help with script dev real time.

    Within BBT, Justin and Kyle are the standout resource for DAS scripting.  I would even dare to say tht BBTs internal support for scripting is better than DAS.  Oh boy that statement may hurt me in future.....just  stating facts as I see it now.

    But rinran u know BBTs community has best.

    IMHO try this for a stock and see if u get a better pic

    1.  Add a T&S widow between chart and montague

    2)  On chart, config it to show BID/ASK and remove LAST PRICE so its not too much being displayed.  1 min chart only.  This will also give u feel of spread easier IMHO.

    3) When watching tape focus ur eyes on topline T&S while ur peripheral vision is on chart to left  of T&S and montague on the right.

    Try i c if u get a better feel.....LAST PRICE will be in TS

    hey u realize DAS 5,5.1  / .2  did some upgrades to ORDER processing ?  I am sure u are.  Seems to allow for multiple trigger orders....

    This seems good i can now have multiple targets defined in one hotkey. awesome. Spread my shares across multiple trigger orders

    Did they give u the internal variables for easy internal manipulation of data in order scripts ?

    EDIT: posted in wrong thread...sorry....

    Found this thread super helpful for someone new to trading on Hot Keys (need time get up the learning curve with memorizing hot keys) 

    Is everyone using SD or is there other lower cost and similar quality devices to consider (see @Norm mentioned Razer Tartarus v2)

    SD now has a 32 keys device - is 15 keys more than enough or would you all recommend going with 32 keys?

    Thanks in advance for helping a new trader here. 

     

    U should also know u can run the SD software on ur mobile phone/tablet (new phone or second device)......to test or permanently. $3/mth.......pls consult the ELGATO website for more details.  Same basic setup.  Trial period also available.. I highly recommend.

    Aurbano,

    This week my chat room style stopped working perfectly. See pic attached.

    Over this week I noticed:

    1. Sliding Moderator chat no longer slides

    2.  Two or three chars are cut off, in the margin of chat display area (See yellow area in attached)

    Was looking in code but did not find anything tht stands out as  the problem.  Can u give me some guidance on how to fix to original pls.

    Did u also have this prob after room was "upgraded" ?

    In testing this morning, I noticed DAS has managed to get in a significant request. To sum it up, it allows a single hotkey to cast not only a STOP order on fill (how we currently do it), but also price target orders with each order canceling / updating the position of the STOP when filled.  You might not see a beta configuration tool for this for a bit, as I have to get a wrangle on the syntax and how I plan to handle the configuration options, but it's cool enough that I felt like sharing.

    If you're like me and use set Limit Orders to take profit (versus a scale-out hotkey like Andrew), this is a pretty useful addition.

    WOW !!! head blown on new order processing........ Wonder how many of the list I submitted they completed.  

    need to check the release notes...was tht updated ?

    Depends on how serious u r abt reading and understanding ALL the possible patterns.  Wave patterns and Candle patterns r different but can be used together.

    For wave patterns and wave structure  look here https://www.youtube.com/user/elliottwaveforecast1.   Theory used from 1940+ and holds true today, which hedge fund managers use and has fixed rules.  Top down analysis is used or MTF..... multi-time-frame analysis.

    Important to understand WXY and WXYXZ wave patterns....works on all Time-frames.

    Eric, easy way to test it.....change default to 99 or 98......and see if the error continues as 1000.  If the current assumption is valid u should get 99/98 not 1000 order.....and its close to ur normal trade amt so financially its not big loss/profit.

    If is not a bug is lack of documentation for Switch command.

    Maybe when u use Switch to Window it defaults all values.....also I have a DEFAULT montage layouts saved which I use when duplicating a window.  So it could be taking values from either of those two defaults.

    Very very happy a work around has been found. BUT it is a bug in the app, as it is not following normal logical.  Based on the information a pattern after every 40+ trades, is being reported.

    So it does need investigation by DAS around the original prob with the knowledge of tht error pattern and the temp solution.

    Good work to ALL who contributed to temp solution.
