In this video AdventureDogLA shows us how to set up Risk Controls in DAS Trader Pro. Risk Controls enforce limitations such as maximum daily loss, maximum shares traded per day, etc. Risk Control Page is a safety net to keep in control our loses, either to have an external control over our behavior as traders or due to a contingency such as failures in the internet connection, electric power outages, broker failures, etc. You can find "Open Risk Control Page" in DAS Trader Pro Account window, just right-click in any row of that window and Risk Control Page will open as a popup browser window to let you update your risk control settings. Some considerations: 1. This configuration works with real accounts and simulator 2. You can deactivate settings "Risk Control Page" anytime by leaving all in blanks and clicking SUBMIT 3. When you are using DAS linked to IB, or simulator, the Risk Control settings are handled by DAS. DAS staff updates your settings manually (the form is emailed to them) anywhere from 2 to 30 minutes during business hours. 4. In LOSS fields, enter a positive number. 5. “No new order” avoids orders for the current day 6. “Pos Loss” = Position loss. 7. “Enable Auto Stop” will automatically close your positions when you hit the Max Loss / Total Loss. 8. “Max Share - Max auto stop execution share per day” = How many shares can be sold / bought by the Auto Stop mechanism. 9. “Max Auto Stop Order Size” = Maximum size per order made by the Auto Stop mechanism. 10.“Delay for next order if exceed max order size (sec)” = Time between orders if the Auto Stop needs to place multiple orders to close your positions. 11. “Stop Gain Account Net Realized PL Thresh“, “Drawdown Percent of Max Net PL“ , “Pos Stop Gain Thresh “ and “Drawdown” - Like Auto Stop but for gains. The threshold is the profit the Stop Gain is looking to hit, the Drawdown is how much it can drop from that target before your positions are closed. Example, you set a threshold of 2000 and drawdown of 20(%). When you make 2000 in P/L, the Stop Gain will trigger, and will close your positions if you drop 20% ($400) from that value, closing you out at $1600 Net P/L.

Just watched this video.... "20 Habits of Highly Successful Traders"... but the guy really talks about 31 habits: 1.Wealthy traders are patient with winning trades and are enormously impatient with losing trades 2.They realize that making money is more important that being right 3.They look at charts as a picture of where traders are lining up to buy or sell 4.Before they enter any trade they know exactly where they will exit for either a gain or a loss 5.They approach trade number 5 with the same mindset they did on the trade 4 previous losing trades 6.They use "naked" charts and focus on zones 7.They realized a long time ago that being uncomfortable trading is OK 8.The markets are their workplace. They are a participant, not an on-looker. 9.They stopped trying to pick tops and bottoms. 10.They stopped thinking about the market being "cheap" or "expensive" 11.They are willing to change sides if the market tells them to do so 12.They trade aggressively when trading well and modestly when they are not 13.They realize the market will be open again tomorrow 14.They never add to a losing trade... EVER 15.Cash is the goal, but never the measure of success 16.They read about mobs and riots 17.They provide liquidity to the markets while watching price and volume 18.They have a way to gauge fear, greed and speed of the markets: Tick charts 233, 612 19.They practice reading the right side of the chart, not the left 20.Every wealthy trader has an "edge" they can explain to their mothers 21.Their position size is calculated exactly on risk tollerance 22.Profit targets are based on average range or something objective 23.One or two trades a month make their month 24.Confident decision makers in the face of imconplete information 25.A losing trade does not mean they are a loser 26.They buy higher highs and sell lower lows 27.Their business isn't trading, it's finding the right trades 28.They write down or record every trade, price, thoughts, news, attitude 29.Their conviction on an active trade remains unless something major changes 30.A winning trade does not result in taking on extra risk the next trade 31.They trade the reaction, not the news

Trading Montage "active" to place a trade...
Abiel replied to Monk's topic in DAS Trader Pro Tips and Tricks
I learned this the hard way: After having lost several valuable seconds in enties & exits. Now I make sure that the montage is active before a trade. -

Today I was wondering if there is a sweet spot for how much I should be trading each day. The image shows the trades in my best & worst results, seems like in my best days I trade less. Have you find your ideal number of trades per day?

I just began using TradeBench. Just sent this feedback to TB CEO Rasmus Sommerskov. In the "Import trades through the TradeBench Excel template" there is the #4. "Choose Strategy", as my import files have diferent trades with different strategies, this section of the import wizard its useless. It would be great if in the xls template a field for strategy its included, or, in the review section of the closed trade I could choose the strategy. What I´m doing now its using labels with strategies. Also, yesterday I managed to import 21 days of trading. Then, trying to import yesterday file, it was failing until today that import was successful (same file), but, all 21 days of trading (+100 trades) were deleted. weird. anhkind, thank you for the conversion tool, it´s very useful...

Thx for sharing your experience mgladding. I traded a couple of low floats right at the begining on sim, I was lucky I guess, but now I don´t trade them, just ignore them when they make it to Andrew´s watchlist...
