    @Robert H hello sir. 

    Question, what will be a hotkey code for getting out of a winning position, limit order ARCAL, with a trigger above the correct price for a long? I know it’s a stop but how can I use ARCAL as a route and not market? Thank you 🙏🏻  

    ROUTE=ARCAL;Price=AvgCost+0.10;Share=Pos;TIF=DAY+;SELL=Send;

    This will send a limit order 0.10 above your entry.

    Hi,

     

    I'm getting the below although the below is the simulator account.

     

    Should I be worried?

     

    I can't reset account equity for some reason..

    You must be holding a position into the close that exceeds the Overnight BP threshold. Triple check that it is in simulator account and don't worry about it. Try closing the position if you don't want to hold

    Hello guys,

    i just want to ask about the commission fee that you guys pay, in average by month, i dont feel i overtrade but my commission fee is around 5% of my capital every month (50k usd), do you think is quite normal or its too much? 

    I used interactive broker and my commission scheme is fixed amount

    Thanks for support

    Switch to tiered structure. It is cheaper under 99% of circumstances.

    Thanks Abiel.  I had looked at that post before, but still couldn't get it to do what I wanted.  This time I tried entering a negative % and that worked.  What I really need is more screen and a larger chart.  😉

    Check your studies ConfigEx. It looks likes that PriceMarker level at 41.75 is included in scale.

    A question related to this... 

    I'm allowed a default & 4 displays on DAS.  Is there a way to toggle between them via a hotkey script?  It would be much faster to scan quickly rather than moving the mouse to the bottom of the page each time I want to see a different display.

    Also, I see DAS has fibs, does it have pivot points available for charting too?

    I believe pivots are available. I don't use them personally.

    Here is the hotkey command for switching tabs:

    SwitchTab tabname

    I assume if you omit tabname, it just cycles through. If you specify tabname, it jumps directly to that tab. Please test for yourself.

    If you are consistently red, it makes no sense to be live. Don't think of it like you are missing out on good trades; you are saving yourself from further losses. My tips based on your journal:

    1. Don't focus so much on the 1-min chart. It takes many years of experience to play price action. Beginners should stick to patterns and setups off the 5-minute chart.

    2. Try using the 2-min as your smaller timeframe. Here's an example of where the ABCD was much more clear.

    3. Overtrading and impulse trades. Read "The Daily Trading Coach" by Dr. Brett Steenbarger to kick bad habits.

    4. Trading pre-market involves low liquidity, bad spreads, and unexpected moves. Stay away unless you have a working strategy.

    5. Setups and patterns: define them in your playbook. Know what you are looking for everyday. This will help with the impulse trades. If it doesn't meet your setup: don't take the trade.

    6. Prove you can trade consistently in simulator before going back live.

    Good luck.

    Andrew explained on his video today great but what if on Day 1, 2, 3 and 4 you get 10 points (40 points) for being top trader for 4 days and then what is the loss point for Day 5 before being disqualified, going below $25K or zero or?

    You have to finish the week with positive equity. Blowing up on Day 5 (going to 0 or negative) will disqualify you.

    I already am a community member since November 2018 and I am setup with IB and Das with my own simulator and Live acct. That said can I still join the BBT Challenge 2? 

    Yes, but you will need to sign up for the Challenge and use that account for trading.

    a curved point system has some key advantages..it stretches the field and provides more incentive to work towards a higher absolute PnL. At the same time it penalizes busting your account b/c you are guaranteed a bottom spot...this is similar to how poker tournaments reward players...

    e.g. if you have 10 players a linear system would assign points 1, 2, 3....10 for each place. A curved system e.g. 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 60, 75, 90, 100. A linear system rewards the average more than a curved system. The curved system incentivizes players to not get comfortable but also to avoid gambling. Obviously the shape of the curve can be modified according to what the commissioner thinks it should look like or wishes to achieve so it also offers more flexibility to reward or penalize certain kinds of strategies....

    Just my 2c..

    Great point, Marek. Even a bell curve which "weights" the dollar PnL would be a good compromise. Someone making $10k in one day should be rewarded more than another trader who leads the pack with $1000 on another day.
