Route and Kyle's Hot Keys

[FX 3]

Hello all, new to Kyle's Hot Keys, such a game changer. Do you need to assign the route in the script?Also, do you need to cancel the stop to exit or partial?

Thanks,

[Thomas 13]

for sim demo version of DAS, I had to use LIMIT and MARKET, and with IB I changed to SMRTL and SMRTM.

my sell and cover scripts have the CXL ALLSYMBCX at the beginning and that clears the stop loss for me. Then I use the set stop at B/E or I set my stop again manually if I think I'm going to let it run longer.

Hi Thomas, thanks for the reply. It seems the problem might be different than I thought. Jared B in chat today was talking about the same issue I am having. The issue is when I take a long position using Kyle"s hot keys I have to close my stop in order to sell or partial. This only happens going long. I have only been using the hot keys for a few days, but going short has been working fine.

Kyle's Hot Keys are life changing so I am hoping to find a simple solution to this.

 

Thanks,

This is a bug in the DAS DEMO (I sent a detailed report to them on it) with the SIM broker when a stock has SSR on it, long positions incorrectly trigger the SSR restriction if you have a stop order in place. For the time being, you have to clear the stop. This will work fine with a real broker though.

Thanks Kyle, I thought it might be something like that.

I want to thank you for creating these hot keys. Like I said they are life changing!

Thomas, I guess it is the same problem. If I don't cancel the stop and try to use the Sell or Cover button it puts me in a position in the opposite direction.

How did you set up your hot keys? I heard some one say put ROUTE to LIMIT. How did you add CXL ALLSYMBCX to your script?

 

Thanks

cover hotkey for 50% (you can change the %) - when in a short

CXL ALLSYMB;ROUTE=SMRTL;Price=ASK+0.05;Price=Round2;Share=Pos*.5;TIF=DAY+;BUY=Send

sell hotkey for 50% (you can change the %) - when in a long

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

This is for IB. If you are in BBT SIM, change ROUTE=LIMIT
