Hi , I am using Kyle´s "das-dynamically-calculate-shares-on-risk-or-risk-hot-key-configuration-updated-91019-v21" . I run and tested it on the simulator and it worked as expected on all my tries . Passed . Now i had the greatest shock when i used it on a market open live sessions , most of the time, it did not work as expected and i end up blowing my 30k account . This is my observation : 1. The "das-dynamically-calculate-shares-on-risk-or-risk-hot-key-configuration-updated-91019-v21 " worked well on the simulator as expected . Any clue why it did not work on Live sessions ?? 2. "das-dynamically-calculate-shares-on-risk-or-risk-hot-key-configuration-updated-91019-v21" worked well on pre-and-post market sessions , but NOT during market open sessions . Basically , it fails during market open sessions . 3. The Stoploss , trailing stops and range does not worked during market session . Basically , it gets triggered and vanishes from the montage but does not STOP or exist my Trade . Questions : 1. Am i missing some configurations and settings that is causing the program not to work as expected during market open sessions , please advice . Any explanations why it works on the Simulator well and not on the Live program and session ? Please advice . 2. Short selling is almost impossible during market open sessions, regardless of the amount of BP in my account . 3. I did change from IBKR to CMEG lately , and wondering if there are special settings to use while using the CMEG dasTrader Pro ? 4. Is the version "das-dynamically-calculate-shares-on-risk-or-risk-hot-key-configuration-updated-91019-v21" the current or out date version ? Please advice 5. Should there be any information that you might need to troubleshoot please do let me know ? 6. As i do not want to blow up another 30k USD in the future again , Please do share with me all input that i need to use the great kyle das-dynamically-calculate-shares-on-risk-or-risk-hot-key-configuration-updated-91019-v21" successfully in the future ?

Kylie, I saw something strange while using the hotkeys on CMEG DasTraderPro platform . Using this hotkey : StopPrice=Price-0.01;DefShare=BP*0.75;Price=Ask-Price+0.01;SShare=40/Price;Share=DefShare-SShare;DefShare=DefShare+SShare;SShare=Share;Sshare=DefShare-SShare;Share=0.5*SShare;TogSShare;ROUTE=LIMIT;Price= Ask+0.05;TIF=DAY+;BUY=Send;DefShare=300;TriggerOrder=RT:STOP STOPTYPE:MARKET PX:StopPrice-0.02 ACT:SELL STOPPRICE:StopPrice QTY:Pos TIF:DAY+; Observation : The hotkey was triggered and large number of shares where bought with the hope of using the 40 dollars stoploss on my BP 30k account . Now the stoploss vanish from the trade window buy did not stop my trade . I end up almost blowing up my entire trading account as the stoploss did not trigger as expected . Kyle could you PLEASE check and confirm whether the script i am using is the right . Please note that the hotkeys above worked fine as expected on the simulator(worked well as expected on sim account , but not live account) , but not during a live trading session . Kyle am I missing a point here ? Please do advice .

Thanks for the update Kyle, will check it out . In the meantime , can you share your spreadsheet with all your hotkeys with me . Thanks

i have observed similar issue stated above . Could it be related to the dasTraderPro IB version ?
