Stop, Sell and Cover B/E Hotkey

[gmount 1]

Question: Found Thor Hotkey video helpful, but there was no explanation regarding the Sell/Cover @B/E, and Stop B/E buttons or a script for Sell/Cover @B/E.

CXL ALLSYMB;ROUTE=LIMIT;Price=ASK+0.05;Price=Round2;Share=Pos*.25;TIF=DAY;BUY=Send;ROUTE=STOP;StopType=Market;StopPrice=AvgCost;Share=Pos+share;TIF=DAY;BUY=SEND

that is for cover 25% of position and set the stop loss to break-even point

 

 

CXL ALLSYMB;ROUTE=LIMIT;Price=BID-0.05;Price=Round2;Share=Pos*.25;TIF=DAY;SELL=Send;ROUTE=STOP;StopType=Market;StopPrice=AvgCost;Share=Pos-share;TIF=DAY;SELL=SEND

that is for sell of 25% of position and set the stop loss to break-even point

 

CXL ALLSYMB;Route=LIMIT;Share=Pos*1;Price=Ask+0.05;TIF=DAY;BUY=Send

that is to cover 100% of position

 

 

CXL ALLSYMB;Route=LIMIT;Share=Pos*1;Price=Bid-0.05;TIF=DAY;SELL=Send

that is to sell 100% of position

 

 

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

that is to update the stop with current position size and price wherevere you click on the chart - custom stop loss

 

 

CXL ALLSYMB;Route=Stop;Price=AvgCost;StopType=MARKET;STOPPRICE=AvgCost;StopPrice=Round2;Share=Pos;TIF=DAY;Send=Reverse;

that is to set the stop loss in whichever direction to the current average price and size - break even stop loss

 

NOTE:these are for CMEG broker, if you are using IB replace the "LIMIT" with "SMRTL"

hi guys ,,, what is the script to take partial , without breakeven or cancelling the original stop loss . Thanks

[SageOttawa 1]

Hi Fahad,

These scipts wont cancel or put in a new stop loss. 

Script for Selling 50%

ROUTE=SMRTL;Price=Bid-0.10;Share=Pos*.5;TIF=DAY+;SELL=Send

Script for Buying/Covering 50%

ROUTE=SMRTL;Price=Ask+0.10;Share=Pos*.5;TIF=DAY+;BUY=Send

You can change the percentage after Pos* to whatever you like. I made them for 100%, 50%, 25% and 10% partials. 

Hope this works for you,

Jeff

Hi SagaOttawa,

I use cmeg broker.  I tried those scripts , they works fine in buying partial and selling partial " only if  short available ".

If stock is not shortable script doesnt work. 

I tried this script ; 

CXL ALLSYMB;ROUTE=LIMIT;Price=BID-0.05;Price=Round2;Share=Pos*.25;TIF=DAY;SELL=Send

It works , but cancel my original stope .  I removed " CXL ALLSYMB " , so it doesnt cancel my original stop , but it doesnt work at all ??

Thanks .

just use normal hotkey script but change the BID to ASK or ASK to BID depending if it is a short or Long trade

Thank you Peter for helping! I will try it out

Peter, would you be able to share the hotkey for "Equalized Dollar Risk: Cover Half + Move Stop to Breakeven". When I use mine it does covers half but completely removes my stop!

Thanks so much.

[peterB 154]

that is perhaps your montage order preset is not set to STOP

[TraderVJ 0]

Hi Peter, I checked and can confirm the montage was set to STOP. Also, the long version of the key works perfectly. Thanks.

[peterB 154]

so compare the long and short scripts and make sure the stock is shortable - SSR.S not only SSR

the .S means the availability for shortage and SSR means only it is restricted to short selling IF AVAILABLE only
