If we want to make a feature suggestion to DAS, do we use the support contact or is there a special contact?

In the past I have dealt with a guy named Jason at DAS.  Jason is a liaison between DAS Support team and the developers who take suggestions.

One recent suggestion I have made to DAS is to provide the ability that within drawn trend-lines, and within the Configuration setting of that line, to be able to set simple Audio alerts with optional pop up visual alert. (two clicks and your done).  Most other platforms I have used have that simple feature.  DAS currently has a complicated, time consuming audio alert feature.

Hello, I used to trade forex using a VPS (https://www.tradingfxvps.com/). This way I was able to trade from anywhere even from office 🤫.

Is it possible to run DAS on this VPS ?

 

Not sure, better to ask DAS Support [email protected]

I was talking to DAS today they said that instead of having to click on the montage to enter orders on hotkeys you can make chart specific hotkeys so you can be clicked into the chart. This is done under normal hotkey setup>add new item>command categories dropdown and chartwindow. Helpful for me. 

Also under Setup>other setup> Speed. Should be set to High speed although it usually isn't by default.

Also I see A LOT of you guys having your charts vertically challenged. What I mean by that is that the candles have almost NO height to them. To fix this issue right click on chart>study config>studies and then ConfigEx and uncheck-> Include in scale on ALL indicators other than Price candles. 

Honestly that last one should be a PSA.

Hi all, 

I'm sure the answer is somewhere here, but just couldn't find one,  so asking your help:

How to make that chart is zoomed in and showing only candesticks and not lines, MA's and other stuff. 

I know Andrew was showing how to do it in one of his reviews but can not find it.

Thanks team! 2029363514_20-01-3012-15-49.thumb.png.5c7db02cb37d1bb2b9a1c21e7817e568.png

Hello @Brothers,

you have to go to the Study Config of the chart, and for each one uncheck the Keep in Scale checkbox. Hope it helps, sorry cannot make screenshot at the moment.

Hi all,

I tried to search for this answer but found nothing.

 

Can you tell me how to quickly remove selected rows  from Watchlist (Market Viewer)? (Like setting a short key, other than right click -> delete)

 

This short key will save  me a little more time in the pre market setup.

Thank you.

Brian T.

As far as I know the only option is right click -> delete. You can select all rows with your mouse and then delete all at once.

Thanks for your reply @Abiel.
As I join pre-market show, I believe @Carlos M. uses short key to delete selected rows. Maybe I am wrong. 😙
