    Hi!

    I was wondering if anyone (or Kyle) knows how Kyle's fixed risk hotkeys for stocks/ETFs on DAS Trader could be adapted to trade futures. The futures i'm interested in trading are the micro E-mini S&P futures which have a 'ticker' constructed by # symbol followed by M (for mini), ES (code for S and P futures) followed by a letter for the expiration month (currently it is M) followed by a number for the year (currently it is 2 for 2022) = #MESM2

    For NASDAQ futures, it is the same process but with NQ instead of ES = #MNQM2 

    The fixed risk hotkey that i'm interested in adapting is the simple one where you double click on the chart where you want your stop and then when you press the hotkey it calculates your share size. I don't think interactive brokers allows you to purchase or short fractional futures so the hotkey would have to round up/down to the nearest whole number 

    The hotkeys I use are the following: 

    Long:

    StopPrice=Price-0;DefShare=BP*0.925;Price=Ask-Price+0.00;SShare='insert fixed risk value in $'/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=200;TriggerOrder=RT:STOP STOPTYPE:MARKET PX:StopPrice-0.05 ACT:SELL STOPPRICE:StopPrice QTY:Pos TIF:DAY+;

    Short: 

    StopPrice=Price+0;DefShare=BP*0.925;Price=Price-Bid+0.00;SShare='insert fixed risk value in $'/Price;Share=DefShare-SShare;DefShare=DefShare+SShare;SShare=Share;Sshare=DefShare-SShare;Share=0.5*SShare;TogSShare;ROUTE=SMRTL;Price=Bid-0.05;TIF=DAY+;SELL=Send;DefShare=200;TriggerOrder=RT:STOP STOPTYPE:MARKET PX:StopPrice+0.05 ACT:BUY STOPPRICE:StopPrice QTY:Pos TIF:DAY+;

    If someone could help in doing this I would be extremely thankful (as a european/UK resident I cannot trade SPY/QQQ ETFs so SP futures are the best alternative for an extremely similar day trading experience/chart and I seem to have became profitable in simulator trading these market ETFs but not trading stocks which I find harder)

    Thank you,

    Hi guys, 

    I've got Das Trader Pro for IB. Can I just confirm that they have not added replay mode to the latest version of this? 

    When I try and switch from normal to replay it says I don't have permission 

    It is a bit odd that they haven't done this yet but that it is available on the simulator version

    Does anyone know if I can buy some kind of upgrade to get access to this?

    @Trader_Jack your hotkey contains only the cancel+partial. you perhaps want to add the new stop loss order to your hotkey which is impossible because the hotkey script does not know your current stop. therefore, after you partial with your hotkey you will need to click to the chart where you want to set your (new or old) stop loss and use this hotkey 

    
CXL ALLSYMB;Route=Stop;Share=Pos;StopPrice=Price;StopType=MARKET;TIF=DAY+;Send=Reverse;

    you can use the same hotkey for Long and Short positions.

     

     

    Thank you, thats really helpful 🙂 (I am quite new to all this)

    Hi guys 

    I'm using the sell 'fraction' of your order without moving stop loss to break even hot key with it set to 1/2 partial on one key and 1/4 on another key


    In both when I make the order it removes my original stop loss (removes it altogether) 

     

    Having to then manually create a new stop order is really annoying in the middle of the trade 

     

    Does anyone know what is happening? Here are the scripts i'm using

     

    CXL ALLSYMB;ROUTE=LIMIT;Price=BID-0.05;Price=Round2;Share=Pos*.5;TIF=DAY+;SELL=Send

     

    CXL ALLSYMB;ROUTE=LIMIT;Price=BID-0.02;Price=Round2;Share=Pos*.25;TIF=DAY+;SELL=Send

     

    The move stop to break even partial scripts work fine btw, i'm just having trouble with the partials that don't move stop loss

     

    Thank you!
