I'm glad my video inspired you Jk jk! But you've earned my like on your video! I'm obsessed with cable management. I can barely stand the cables from my keyboard and mouse, but I won't go wireless for trading.

Well you should always enter a trade with a position that is appropriate to your equity. It doesn't really matter if the hotkey doesn't do the risk %, buying power, and stop loss calculations for you. If you know you can afford that many shares, can handle a mental stop loss if it goes against you, and you wont blow up your account.... then go for it. But.... As a new trader and you have this amazing tool that can help you with all calculations, proper risk management, and helps protect your account from blow ups.... Sounds like a good thing to use to me

Another great workaround!

Hey Marek, (and anyone else who is having this issue), you can use the Pop Out feature to solve for this problem. In the main window you create a new Montage, Chart, etc. > Right Click on the top bar > Select Pop Out. Then you can drag the windows around to any secondary monitor and position them regardless of the monitor size.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I shut down DAS, and everything saves properly when I reopen... Maybe try right clicking on the window and selecting "Save As Default"? I just don't think that's it and It's not how my DAS behaves. Let us know what DAS Support says!

I'm only just discovering how this works now, but there is an anchor function for VWAP that represents bars. It defaults to zero which apparently represents "all", which actually means the day. If you right click the chart > Study Config > Select VWAP > Config On a minute chart there are 390 candles in a day.... So if you unchecked "Calculate VWAP For Pre/Post market Hours" and changed the Anchor Period to 720.... That might work? If you wanted to calculate with Pre/Post: 4hrs post... 4.5hrs pre... So 510 more bars; which would be 1230 (510+720) for the Anchor Period. Or would you want to add two Pre/Post periods? Which would be 1020 for Pre/Post, which would be 1740 (1020+720) for the Anchor Period. Not 100% here... What do you think @Abiel?

Great point Abiel. I read his comment as the charts not showing anything But if it's just not updating, then that's probably it!

No, I'm sorry - I'm wrong about Range. It's simply the Range between the high and the low of the day. Apparently the only way to show ATR is on the chart: Right click on the chart > Study Config> Add ATR from left to right

Hmmm... That should not be happening. I just tried changing the text color of my Position window, and the background of my Market Viewer. I don't even need to save Desktop for it to work. What version of DAS are you using? 5.5.0.3? Might need to do a reinstall or contact DAS support.

If you right click on the Market Viewer and select Config you can select RVOL and Range.... Not sure about Short Interest % though.

1) File > Save Desktop > Save and Replace should save the Market Viewer settings 2) Right click the windows and select Config. You can change your font and color formatting there. (Save Desktop again)

Yeah, a lot of people reported a problem right at the open for a few minutes... Could have been a multitude of problems. Maybe it was DAS' servers Maybe it was DAS communicating with IB (Not sure if CMEG had problems)... It's rare, but unfortuantely sometimes things go wrong. Always good to have a secondary plan on how to get out of your positions. Like the DAS iOS/Android app, a secondary web platform, or having the phone number of your broker at the ready.

Hmmm.. Should still show prior data. It might be that DAS is having trouble connecting through VMware. Have you had any progress fixing this since last night? Also are you using the DAS trial right now?

Hey Riley, This seems like a tough one to diagnose. Could be your internet connection or something interfering with it. How is your Network Delay in DAS? Open DAS and double click on the connectioon (plug) icon in the bottom right. DAS states that readings below 500ms are considered "good". Could also be something else... Have you tried reinstalling DAS? Does your computer meet the minimum spec requirement? Is your computer running normally in other daily tasks? Unless someone else has had this issue and can chime in, you might look at contacting DAS live chat for more support.

Really not sure why you can’t right click... But to link your montage to charts (if that’s what you mean by “interlink”) you just drag the anchor icon to charts with left click. Might I suggest Bootcamp instead of emulation software (like VMware and Parallels)? That way you’ll be running Windows natively and will have very few (if any) problems setting up Windows.

Hey @miktil Totally possible! These hotkeys will sell 50%, update your stop loss to the new amount of shares, but not move it. Long: CXL ALLSYMB;Route=LIMIT;Share=Pos*0.5;Price=Bid-0.05;TIF=DAY+;SELL=Send;ROUTE=STOP;StopType=Market;StopPrice=StopPrice;Share=Pos-share;TIF=DAY+;SELL=SEND Short: CXL ALLSYMB;Route=LIMIT;Share=Pos*0.5;Price=Ask+0.05;TIF=DAY+;BUY=Send;ROUTE=STOP;StopType=Market;StopPrice=StopPrice;Share=Pos+share;TIF=DAY+;BUY=SEND

Haha, you're very welcome! Glad I can help

IB Customer Support is a struggle sometimes... I'm being generous. I suppose they may not know what a .tlg file is, but might have understood "TradeLog" file... Again... I'm being generous

Hey Guillaume, Log into your IB account Click Reports / Tax Docs Under Third-Party Downloads click on TradeLog Then simply select the date you want and download the TLG file

Hey Girish, It's a + for short positions and a - for long positions. Long - Cover Half - Stop loss to break even: CXL ALLSYMB;Route=LIMIT;Share=Pos*0.5;Price=Bid-0.05;TIF=DAY+;SELL=Send;ROUTE=STOP;StopType=Market;StopPrice=AvgCost;Share=Pos-share;TIF=GTC;SELL=SEND Short - Cover Half - Stop loss to break even: CXL ALLSYMB;Route=LIMIT;Share=Pos*0.5;Price=Ask+0.05;TIF=DAY+;BUY=Send;ROUTE=STOP;StopType=Market;StopPrice=AvgCost;Share=Pos+share;TIF=GTC;BUY=SEND

Hey Wayne, not sure if you're just looking for an easy way to see the watchlists, but @JasonH has done a bang up job of posting them here: If you're actually looking for the script, I'm sorry I can't help there! It is a very cool script that FFClm created!

Hey William, you need to switch IB over to tiered pricing. Settings > Account Settings On the right you’ll see IBKR Pricing Plan. Click the gear and then select Tiered.

Hey Matthew - Welcome! Might have to ping @Abiel to help with getting a recording of one of the on-boarding sessions if possible... But if you haven't found them already - the Education Center has amazing videos (Classes 1-5) that will help you get started and set up. They probably cover all and more of what the on-boarding does!

No, you really don't. I just looked at the DAS system requirements and you can buy a Dell for $300 that surpasses those requirements. Obviously the more you spend, the better your computer will be and technically will give it more longevity. Which is why I always recommend people to simply buy whatever they can comfortably afford.

Ah yes, I get what you mean by a new tab now. But yeah... it must be a bug because I can duplicate any window using either of the methods I described just fine into a new tab. Smart idea to just create a new file.
