Hotkey issue (set default share)

[Hotkey issue (set default share)]

Thanks Peter!

I wonder because it's my first time to change my hotkeys strategy, before I used to use simple hotkey with fixed amount of shares with soft SL. which didn't need to double click on the chart when I use it.

Now I'm changing my strategy to have a fixed SL. and thanks for being in a community that I can ask and I know I'll find helpful people to help like yourself.

Thanks again Pater

have a good weekend

This is an important note Peter!
so that means I should double click on the chart before pressing the Hotkey? 

[Hotkey issue (set default share)]

So I get this message on Montage "Set default share to ......." and if I click the hotkey again. it throw an error like following 

 

[Hotkey issue (set default share)]

Hi Guys,
I need your help about this hotkey 

 

StopPrice=Price-0;DefShare=BP*0.925;Price=Ask-Price+0.00;SShare=50/Price;Share=DefShare-SShare;DefShare=DefShare+SShare;SShare=Share;Sshare=DefShare-SShare;Share=0.5*SShare;TogSShare;ROUTE=SMRTL;Price=Ask+0.05;TIF=DAY+;BUY=Send;DefShare=100;TriggerOrder=RT:STOP STOPTYPE:MARKET PX:StopPrice-0.05 ACT:SELL STOPPRICE:StopPrice QTY:Pos TIF:DAY+;

 

I believe most of you using it. But when I press it sometime I get this error

 and it seems like it's the same value in the script that I highlighted in red. sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.

I hope someone can help me since I can't trade without fixing this

 

Thank you

Moe

Hi good morning Moe.

 

With DAS and IB,  you can connect as many IB accounts as you wish on top of having a Paper Trading account.  Once in the DAS application, you will be able to choose your default account to execute orders (ie your sim account) or you can change your account on the fly within the montage (if you have 2 or more accounts)

 

Your sim paper account # within DAS may start or look similar to this; TRIB1234

 

Good morning SpoTT,

 

That’s great.

Thanks so much!

Hi, I wanna ask, If I have an IB account and I download DAS trader, will I be able to access my IB paper account through DAS or it will be only the IB live account that will be available on DAS?

Thank you John for documenting your strategy in such clear way. I hope you can update it frequently with your new findings. 
Good job. I'll be your guest next days to scan all these trades.

And let me ask you,

1- do you a trade if the price is under the VWAP?

2- I see Volume by price bars on your charts, how do use them on your strategy?

3- does the bid-ask spread matters in your strategy?

 

Thanks again John, and I hope I don't bother you with my questions.
