I have my regular hot keys for live trading and then I have (shift+z) to buy 100 shares in sim, (shift+x) to sell 100 shares in sim. I was trading the after-market earnings with sim for fun and accidently hit my "sell full position" live hotkey (Shift+8) out of reflex. Unfortunately I lost my daily earnings when instead of selling a 100 shares that I didn't have in my live account, it shorted a 100 shares in it. Is there a way to set up my "sell full position" hot key to only work if I already have a share size in that account. This is my current hotkey setup. For selling 100% of Position: ROUTE=SMRTL;Price=Bid-0.03;Share=Pos;ACCOUNT=UXXXXXXX;TIF=DAY+;SELL=Send For covering 100% of Position: ROUTE=SMRTL;Price=Ask+0.03;Share=Pos;ACCOUNT=UXXXXXXX;TIF=DAY+;BUY=Send

A suggestion for any new day traders wanting to practice before going live, learn to use the replay feature from Carlos on this tutorial then watch the historical pre-market shows on youtube at this link to get the morning watchlist for that day so you can practice playing the stocks for that day.
