    Hello BBT,

    My name is Pedro, I'm from Portugal.

    I'm new to trading. I practiced for 2 months in SIM (April  and May) and start live since June with small size just to get used. I'm trading in part-time at this moment, but want to do this full-time when i can be consistently profitable. Still looking to get break even...

    Hope i can get all the help an knowlege here with this comunity.

    Hugs,

    Pedro.

    Could you respond with what variable to put in the area you highlighted "DOUBLE CLICKED PRICE" -- I am having a hard time figuring out what does there, even looking at the equalized risk examples.

    If you look at the beginning of the script you will see  

    StopPrice=Price

    This is the price value that it is stored in the montage field for price when you double click on the chart for your stop loss price.

    Hello Everyone, My name is Prakash and I am from Dallas, TX. I am new to day trading, but do little bit of swing trading. 

    I am working full time in my corporate job, but have 1-2 hours available in the morning market hours. I read Andrew's book and felt like I can learn this. I am going over the training material and started the simulator for couple weeks now. I am learning the risk management and trying to find the right strategy. I am still very slow in identifying strategy in live environment. Hope to learn that soon:)

    Looking forward to any meetup in Dallas-Fort worth area and connect with some of the experienced day traders.

    Welcome to BBT Prakash! Stay tuned for Tx meetups!

    Hi @electronabs, welcome to BBT. 

    Are you selecting TRUE in this setting? "Choose if you want to also queue up a physical stop order that will go into the market when the initial order is fully filled (returned success)."

    Also, make sure you have DAS version 5.2.0.34 or above

    Quote

    Recommend latest DAS version of 5.4.3.0. Requires DAS version 5.2.0.34 or above (current BETA branch as of 11/19/2018) for the physical stop portion to work. If you don't use the physical stop, you don't have to worry about it.

    For high volatlity stocks the brokers increase margin requirements on that particular stocks.  

     

    Quote

    In the interest of ensuring the continued safety of its clients, the broker may modify certain margin policies to adjust for unprecedented volatility in financial markets. The changes will promote reduction of leverage in client portfolios and help ensure that clients' accounts are appropriately capitalized.

    Abiel, those devices are SUPER finicky! I haven't used that one, but I've use the Startech devices and they were nothing but a headache! If you can't add an additional video card, but your machine support DisplayPort, you may be able to go the DisplayPort route instead.

    Hi Ryan, just reporting about these devices, after 3 years, I just retired 2 of them without an issue!

    As a new member, I find the evolution of how and where the Hotkeys are located on BBT very difficult to follow.  When I downloaded my Sim last week, the intro page Step 2 is "How to Download and Use Andrew's DAS Layout".  The button says "Download Layout and Hotkeys"

    I assumed that labelling to mean I was downloading Andrew's hotkeys.  But did I actually download the "current" hotkeys instead?

    Hi, yes we needed to update that page removing any reference to hotkeys. As stated in the same page, the most commonly used hotkeys are already included with the default installation of DAS. If you need more references you can download a PDF file that contains the most used scripts for hotkeys here https://bearbulltraders.com/course/downloads/lesson/technology/ 

    If you want to use the dynamic risk hotkeys please visit this forum post https://forums.bearbulltraders.com/topic/716-das-dynamically-calculate-shares-on-risk-or-risk-hot-key-configuration-updated-91019-v21/

    Thanks peterB. Can you expand upon the automatic stop loss or automatic size counting? I'm trying to understand if DAS enables advanced functionality or merely provides an improved GUI

    For what it's worth, IBKR Lite now includes fully-featured TWS, so the only major difference between the two offerings with regard to day trading appears to be access to the API for use with DAS and other tools

    Read about DAS Trader Pro risk control features here. 

    For me some advantages of DAS Trader Pro over TWS are: 

    • Risk controls
    • Equalized risk per tarde hotkeys
    • Stock´s RVOL 
    • Automatic levels (Y/YY high low, premarket high / low, opeing price, high / low of the day, etc.)
    • Very gentle on computer resources
