So I changed your hotkey code to 0.75 to sell 25% of my shares and move my stop to break even. It works perfectly the first time I use the hotkey but when I want to sell another 25% and move stop to break even it doesn't work. When I use it the second time it sells my whole position. Do you know what I'm doing wrong? Hey Gforce, you would want to set it to 0.25 to sell 25% of your shares. And you're saying you hit the same hotkey twice and it exists your position? Unless you have only 1 share remaining... I'm not quite sure why. If you had 100 shares to start and you hit the hotkey below twice, it should go to 75 then 56 (rounded down).

No, the above script was if you were short a position and wanted to cover. You can tell by the end of the script when it says "BUY=Send" that will buy shares (because you are short). You want it to say "SELL=Send" when you are long to sell. This is for long partial 25%: CXL ALLSYMB;Route=LIMIT;Share=Pos*0.25;Price=Bid-0.05;TIF=DAY+;SELL=Send;ROUTE=STOP;StopType=Market;StopPrice=AvgCost;Share=Pos-share;TIF=DAY+;SELL=SEND Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For example I went long 230 shares, then it brought me down to 172 shares. When I pressed the same hotkey again it sold my whole position. Not sure why this is happening. Have any Ideas? Thanks.

Justin 262 Posted May 26, 2020 Unfortunately I don't... I just tried the hotkey, and it works like it should. Do you have any risk controls set up? Could be useful to see your log to see what is being executed and any messages it may give. Unless someone else can figure it out, I might try asking DAS support.

Well my first buy order is with Kyle's hotkey. I use a $30 risk to enter a trade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nvitor 2 Posted May 28, 2020 Hey Gforce, I'm new to this but believe had the same issue. The problem stems from the fact that when you hit the button second time and the price has not moved enough away from your stop, it basically stops you out. Make sure you try the second press when there is a sufficient price gap, that you don't get stopped out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let me know if you don't want that for some reason though. You'll need to change the bolt parts to suit you; Route= for your own broker and the Share=Pos* for how much you want to scale out.
