Diana 0 Posted November 15, 2020 Hi guys, Was wondering what I did wrong with settings or maybe its just how it worked. I went long on FSR on last Friday (11/13/2020) where sometime during the trade I noticed the "S" disappeared in the montage. After a strong push up I decided to sell all but it kept saying "Security is not shortable![1279]". I finally exited with panic hotkey. Is there something I missed? I usually use Kyle's hotkeys (in this case it's the Scale Out 100%). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JasonH 47 Posted November 15, 2020 (edited) I'm wondering if your hotkey is accurately calculating the position it needs to sell. If it's trying to sell more shares than you have, I think you can get that error. Here is my "sell 100%" hotkey for you to compare to: CXL ALLSYMB; Share=Pos; Price=Bid-.10; TIF=DAY+; ROUTE=LIMIT; SELL=Send; Another possibility- is it possible the wrong montage window was in focus? could it have been trying to sell a different symbol, for which you were not in a position, and was also not shortable? I've certainly run into that error when I first setup my hotkeys. But it's been too long now to remember how I fixed it.

Diana 0 Posted November 15, 2020 Hi JasonH, thanks for helping to troubleshoot. Yup, that's the same hotkey I have. Maybe I'll go through all my hotkeys again. Paranoia is hitting. I'm pretty sure I have the correct montage (having doubts now!). I restarted DAS, selected the symbol tried again and it persisted. I got out after hitting panic a couple of times, fingers crossed it doesn't happen again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
