Howdy Kyle -- You've already seen my wishlist in the PMs 😎

1. An addendum to your Dynamic Share Calculation Script. Instead of triggering a stop loss, trigger a range order instead where the loss end of the range sells 100% of the position and the profit side sells 50% of the position
2. A script that utilizes DAS' native alert/basket order system so that your automations can be adapted for use during extended hours sessions (possible?)

I am interested in the addition of a stop range order to Kyle's hot key script as well.

I had a couple of automation ideas that I'm curious to hear your thoughts about:

• Exporting both tickets and orders from DAS to Chartlog (Tickets are needed for actual execution prices and orders are needed for initial stop and target prices.)
• Opening/ Focusing on a DAS Chart when an alert from Trade-Ideas fires

 

Re: Chartlog:

The Chartlog application already does this in their system. I don't think it automatically pulls stops/etc. .. and those inputs are a paid feature last time I used it.

Re: TradeIdeas:

I don't currently have a copy of TI, but that'd be possible if TI allows you to trigger a command or script call on an alert.

Don't know if others would be interested, but I'd like to be able to read and understand the hot key scripts. So if you could go through a couple hot key scripts and parse them out loud, narrate what DAS is "thinking," "remembering," "changing," etc. as it reads through the script.

We can possibly do that in a class. It's not as intuitive as you'd hope. I will say, in the Excel file there is a step by step breakdown on one of the sheets.

Automation is the exact direction Technology can be used in trading.  The Hotkeys made by Kyle is a major major leap in that direction combined with DAS adding ability to trade and manage orders from charts is a big step.

 

Trade Ideas has some big automation links built in, as its built in a structured manner on modern tech.

 

We need to look at the overall trading process, divide each part of that process and see how to make each part more streamlined and easier for the trader.  Look forward to your thoughts.

 

As u stated :

- Alerts with better visual notification

- Latest News headline of active ticker being presented in premarket show in the blank white area of current pre-market screen 

- Using and linking multiple computers (e.g. laptops) for both screen real estate and as a backup device, syncing data/layouts etc.

- Automation of display of scanners and better utilization of screen space at 7:30am 

- Can TI scanners send out text message to BBT members who opt in for that type of service depending on members pref for a select scanner ?

- Hotkey/button for free ticker data from Finviz.com, presented in focused manner for BBT traders.

 

Looking for low hanging fruit solutions that benefits the most amt of traders.

 

U missed  one session but it was recorded I think.

 

See u Monday

 

A few of those I'm going to help Carlos about how to help automate some of his workflow. The BBT Scanners program was completed with setup guide a long time back, it's just not been setup on the VM running the display. You can bug Peter on that 🙂 .. since he has access to it and I don't.

I am shopping to set up a wired home network.  Specifically what router (without wifi), cable (cat 6a, cat 7, cat 8, shielded unshielded etc), and RJ45 connector (grounded not grounded etc.) 

For 99% of things, Cat6 will be more than enough. It really doesn't matter much, I like routers that allow you to flash open source firmware. But anything from Asus / TP-Link / Ubiquiti are usually good.

Hi Kyle, I'm interested in hotkeys for Stop Limit orders, where a double click sets the price. Hot key cancels others orders.

We can go over creating that next Monday if we haven't already.

Kyle, I second Kevin D, but I'd like a two-click system where the first is the stop-loss and the second is the entry.   How sophisticated can the hotkeys get?  Can I call an external function perhaps in R or Python?

The DAS API is locked behind an expensive paywall. You have a very limited command to communicate out of the program and that's it, but nothing can come back in via traditional means. That means you're limited in what variables and math you can do unless you get creative with in-memory editing or abuse some Windows API's. If there's enough interest in the topic, I can go over it a tad more in one of the classes .. but it's usually very technical orientated, so it'll probably make the majority of the audience get lost.

1. I'll try to remember to do that when I'm at my desk and can test things.

2. To be honest, I don't have much experience with the Basket Order system. There's not much documentation either (that I've seen). It's kinda made for a different type of trader.

Launch a BBT Mobile App which will roll out diff modules over the next couple yrs.

Mod 01 - Party Zone - Virtual and Real get togethers even mix them

Mod 02 - BBT Scanner Alerts.....traders subscribe to scanner of choice and will get an alert sent to phone

Mod 03 - Calendar of Events which auto sync to Outlook, Google, Yahoo calendars

Mod 04 - ??? etc

I'd like to second the call for more information about the coding of hotkeys. Is there detailed documentation on this (the Hotkey Command List from DAS is, quite honestly, useless as far as constructing code is concerned.)

Thank you.

John.

Kyle u made some google "notes" (i think) or examples in last session, could u keep a running link in 1st post to this notes file ?

specifically looking for new ALERT hotkey script

This actually already exists.  See William's video here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPSLj7W-KQA&t=14s&ab_channel=BearBullTraders

What I'm interested in is an addition of the range order feature to Mike's BHOD/BLOD hotkey.
