[Most frequently used hotkeys]

Hi,

This forum is great!  I really like the calculated loss hot key and have created buttons for the montage. 

Quick question: If I were long a position, is there a formula that would allow one to set a stop limit by double clicking the chart (like for the calculated loss hotkey) for the total amount of shares that are long and then hitting the hot key?

Ex: I buy 100 Shares of AAPL.  To create stop loss for the 100 shares, I double click the price on the chart and then hit the hotkey to create the stop limit?

you just missed to set a new stop loss and cancel previous order.

CXL ALLSYMB;
ROUTE=SMRTL;
Price=BID-0.05;
Price=Round2;
Share=Pos*.50;
TIF=DAY;
SELL=Send;
ROUTE=STOP;
StopType=Market;
StopPrice=AvgCost;
Share=Pos-share;
TIF=DAY;
SELL=SEND

 

logically you need to

1. cancel current order for the stock
2. sell 50%
3. set new stop loss

there is a newer aproach for the partials to use the same hotkey which uses the "reverse" position so you can save hotkey space by using that. I can post tomorrow or you check it on forum or in kyles hotkey sheet

Hi,

Just confirming. If I wanted to just move the current stoploss to BE, I can just use:

CXL ALLSYMB;
ROUTE=STOP;
StopType=Market;
StopPrice=AvgCost;
Share=Pos-share;
TIF=DAY;
SELL=SEND

Would that work?
