For your firs trade it wasn't exactly a bad idea to go long there. It did break and the close above the VWAP on the 5 and 6 min. That being said, I'm always hesitant to go long or short the opposite way of the pre-market. Also, what was your stop loss? Seems very far away. Probably should have been just below VWAP. For your second... Seems like a good entry to me. It's a bit extended, but you waited for a pull back which is good.

@fab has actually created a useful and extremely simple AutoHotKey script to automate exporting the Market Viewer window! You could easily change the script to adapt to the windows you want exported instead You sound pretty savvy already, but let me know if you need help with it!

Ah yes, I do believe you remove the + on DAY for CMEG. But if you are using that script for Long, you need to use the other script I gave you to Scale out and sell 50% of your position: Route=LIMIT;Share=Pos*0.5;Price=Bid-0.05;TIF=DAY;SELL=Send; Also note, if you are trying to use the hotkey right now, it doesn't work well (or at all) during the market close or in the Replay function

Great. Note that you can change the Route to Market and Price to Bid, for whatever your preference is on getting out of a position.

So you're asking If you are long and want to scale out 50% without touching your Stop Loss? That could be something like this: Route=LIMIT;Share=Pos*0.5;Price=Bid-0.05;TIF=DAY+;SELL=Send; Short would be: Route=LIMIT;Share=Pos*0.5;Price=Ask+0.05;TIF=DAY+;BUY=Send

These are IB's instructions on withdrawing funds: https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/software/am/am/funding/withdrawingfunds.htm

Right click in the button section of the montage and select Add Button. Name it "Panic" or whatever else you want to call it Give it the colors you want In the script area simply type: PANIC

You technically don't need to cancel and reset the stop loss, but if you don't and the price goes against you, you'll suddenly be in a flipped position. This scenario will happen: You are 100 shares long at $15 You have a stop loss sell order set for 100 shares at $14.90 You partial 50 shares at $15.50 It goes back to your stop loss, and you're suddenly 50 shares short. This will cancel your stop loss and reset it to breakeven with the correct remaining shares: CXL ALLSYMB;Route=Stop;Price=AvgCost;StopType=MARKET;STOPPRICE=AvgCost;StopPrice=Round2;Share=Pos;TIF=DAY+;Send=Reverse;

Exactly what Peter said. Also we currently don't have a way to have more than two orders for taking a partial and then recalculate the stop loss without losing all remaining partial orders. For example if you you're 100 shares long at $15, you two partials for 50 shares at $15.50 and 50 shares at $16.00. If you hit your first partial target at 50 shares and then it goes back to your stop loss, you'll suddenly be 50 shares short. Best you can do is a single range order.

No, unfortunately it's a HDD. Well... fortunately actually - because it's an amazing upgrade for any older laptop.

100%! Correct me if I'm wrong but it doesn't look like that comes with an SSD... It's not always about space, an SSD over an old format HDD will make your computer scream!

Hey Maverick, I think this has been discussed before, and the consensus was two things: 1. There isn't a way to do this programmatically. But if you enter with a hotkey 100 shares long, you can simply have another hotkey for 100 shares short. 2. This isn't recommended. Quickly flipping your position is an indication that you don't have a strategy or plan going into a trade. You are best served to get stopped out and then find another trade that fits your plan.

Yeah, this was just this morning for about 10 min.

Hey, it was just a simulator bug, annoying I know, but not related to anyone who was live: See my post here:

Hey Lenny! First, that's great that you saw and analyzed that ZM was looking strong in the pre-market and overall today. The first thing I notice is that your first entry is a bit chasing. We're already several strong moves away from the vwap. If you think there is still going to be some strength, I would try and wait to see if there is any pullback before entering. The second thing I notice is that the pre-market high at around $124.50 (the bottom dotted red line on your 1min chart) was acting as pretty strong support. So better entries for your first, second and third trades would be getting in closer to that support line and thus would have your stop loss below the pre-market high. Good job on your 4th trade though. Definitely looks like you had a wider stop loss! For the 5th and 6th I'd definitely be hesitant to go long after that engulfing red candle (the one right after you got out of your 4th trade). I think the main takeaway for me would be focusing on patience and waiting for pullbacks.

Hey, I definitely understand the frustration and apprehension, but I really wouldn't worry too much about this. First, it was only in SIM (It's happened before), and I've NEVER seen it happen live on IB or CMEG. Second, what they said is also true, if you ever go live you can either: Call your broker and have them exit your positions. They often have a priority number for this. Depending on your broker you probably have the ability to exit your positions by just going to their website Depending on your broker they probably have a secondary platform (like DAS) you could install if it is indeed a DAS problem.

Yes, I already addressed that here and how to fix it: I talked to Kyle in a PM chat about it yesterday - so he knows.

Yeah, simply put, whole numbers are good resistance and support levels. Obviously it's a bit harder with ROKU where it's going up full dollars within minutes. That being said I think the best indicator was the second from the top red dotted line - the previous day close line (maybe color it a different color than high of day line). Previous day close is a very strong indicator. It was 63.84 and it bounced. I would have waited for a 1 min candle to close above that line.

100% I still completely advise getting the hotkey from the spreadsheet yourself though (I just pasted them for reference). Simply make the change that I've highlighted.

@KyleK29 It does look like there is a bug in the spreadsheet. Changing the short to Short-SSR doesn't change anything for dollar risk. It does work as intended for Equity Percentage. Dollar Risk - Short: StopPrice=Price+0.01;DefShare=BP*0.97;Price=Price-Bid+0.01;SShare=150/Price;Share=DefShare-SShare;DefShare=DefShare+SShare;SShare=Share;Sshare=DefShare-SShare;Share=0.5*SShare;TogSShare;ROUTE=LIMIT;Price=Bid-0.05;TIF=DAY+;SELL=Send;DefShare=400;TriggerOrder=RT:STOP STOPTYPE:MARKET PX:StopPrice+0 ACT:BUY STOPPRICE:StopPrice QTY:Pos TIF:DAY+; Dollar Risk - Short SSR (The highlighted red part is not happening on the spreadsheet) StopPrice=Price+0.01;DefShare=BP*0.97;Price=Price-Bid+0.01;SShare=150/Price;Share=DefShare-SShare;DefShare=DefShare+SShare;SShare=Share;Sshare=DefShare-SShare;Share=0.5*SShare;TogSShare;ROUTE=LIMIT;Price=Bid+0.01;TIF=DAY+;SELL=Send;DefShare=400;TriggerOrder=RT:STOP STOPTYPE:MARKET PX:StopPrice+0 ACT:BUY STOPPRICE:StopPrice QTY:Pos TIF:DAY+; Equity Percentage Risk - Short: StopPrice=Price+0.01;DefShare=BP*0.97;Share=DefShare*0.167*Price*0.01;Price=Price-Bid+0.01;SShare=Share/Price;Share=DefShare-SShare;DefShare=DefShare+SShare;SShare=Share;Sshare=DefShare-SShare;Share=0.5*SShare;TogSShare;ROUTE=LIMIT;Price=bid-0.05;TIF=DAY+;SELL=Send;DefShare=400;TriggerOrder=RT:STOP STOPTYPE:MARKET PX:StopPrice+0 ACT:BUY STOPPRICE:StopPrice QTY:Pos TIF:DAY+; Equity Percentage Risk - Short-SSR (The highlighted blue part is working in the spreadsheet) StopPrice=Price+0.01;DefShare=BP*0.97;Share=DefShare*0.167*Price*0.01;Price=Price-Bid+0.01;SShare=Share/Price;Share=DefShare-SShare;DefShare=DefShare+SShare;SShare=Share;Sshare=DefShare-SShare;Share=0.5*SShare;TogSShare;ROUTE=LIMIT;Price=Bid+0.01;TIF=DAY+;SELL=Send;DefShare=400;TriggerOrder=RT:STOP STOPTYPE:MARKET PX:StopPrice+0 ACT:BUY STOPPRICE:StopPrice QTY:Pos TIF:DAY+;

I'm actually just answering your question in the other thread. One second

There are two links there. One to the original post that has his spreadsheet link and one that goes to the webinar. It's just one is in link format and one shoes the dynamic post details.

No offense @Mike B, but like Kyle said in his webinar people should be getting the script directly from his spreadsheet. He mentioned two things: The syntax can be broken by re-pasting the script Most people wont even know how it works and that just creates more problems. How many shares is it? Is it dollar risk? Is it percentage equity risk? How do I change it? I've had 2 Skype calls and a long PM helping people with the hotkey because of this. How do you set SSR with CMEG? You go into the spreadsheet and click the drop down and change it to "short-SSR"

I didn't say anything
