I was talking to DAS today they said that instead of having to click on the montage to enter orders on hotkeys you can make chart specific hotkeys so you can be clicked into the chart. This is done under normal hotkey setup>add new item>command categories dropdown and chartwindow. Helpful for me. 

Also under Setup>other setup> Speed. Should be set to High speed although it usually isn't by default.

Also I see A LOT of you guys having your charts vertically challenged. What I mean by that is that the candles have almost NO height to them. To fix this issue right click on chart>study config>studies and then ConfigEx and uncheck-> Include in scale on ALL indicators other than Price candles. 

Honestly that last one should be a PSA.

What does setting Das to "High Speed" do, and what about the option "Real High Speed"?

[How to automatically adjust stop loss to number of shares]

@peterB@Justin I'm trying to create a single hotkey that lets me add 50% to my position and then re-sets my stop loss to the new breakeven spot. I have the hotkey for adding to my position, and I have the hotkey for setting my SL to b/e, but when I combine the two, it appears that the SL is set at the original b/e spot with the original number of shares, not accounting for the 50% add at a new price. I'm guessing it's because the stop loss part of the script is running before I can get filled on my 50% add.

Is there a way to add a minor delay between the add and the set SL to b/e so that my SL will be set to the new b/e once I get filled on the add?

Here's my current script to add 50% then set SL to the new B/E that puts my B/E at the original instead of new B/E spot: 

CXL ALLSYMB;ROUTE=LIMIT;Price=Ask+0.02;Share=Pos*.5;TIF=DAY;BUY=Send;Route=Stop;Price=AvgCost;StopType=MARKET;STOPPRICE=AvgCost;StopPrice=Round2;Share=Pos-share;TIF=DAY;Send=Reverse;

Thanks!

EDIT: @Bryan W Hooked me up in the chat support tab! The hotkeys are:

CXL ALLSYMB;ROUTE=LIMIT;Price=Ask+0.02;Share=Pos*.5;TIF=DAY;BUY=Send;TriggerOrder=RT:STOP STOPTYPE:MARKET PX:StopPrice-0.3 ACT:SELL STOPPRICE:AvgCost QTY:Pos TIF:DAY+

CXL ALLSYMB;ROUTE=LIMIT;Price=Bid-0.02;Share=Pos*.5;TIF=DAY;SELL=Send;TriggerOrder=RT:STOP STOPTYPE:MARKET PX:StopPrice+0.3 ACT:BUY STOPPRICE:AvgCost QTY:Pos TIF:DAY+

BUT one caveat, if I exceed my BP, then not only does it not add to my position, but it doesn't keep a SL at b/e. If anyone knows how to edit the script so that I can't exceed BP, would love to hear your thoughts, including @KyleK29!
