Is it possible to set up a DAS hot key to go directly to a url

[michael3301 3]

Is it possible to set up a DAS hot key to go directly to the url with a stock symbol as a place holder (coming from montage)

 

In other words for example, I want to press hot ` which brings up the finviz.com website. But instead of

 

https://finviz.com

 

I want it to look at the montage and use the selected stock symbol (ex: VTVT). For example when I press the DAS hotkey `, I want it to go to the following URL:

https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=VTVT

 

Then I can use the Stream Deck to link it to the key press `. This way it's a lot smarter (save a lot of keystroke).

 

Thanks,

 

Michael

Michael, I don't think it is possible to pass a parameter (like stock symbol) into a DAS command hotkey. Wouldn't hurt to ask them directly though [email protected].

Thanks for the quick response Robert. I just emailed DAS support as suggested. I will share the response once I hear back from them.

It's very much possible. Here's how you do it:

 

In your hotkey screen, add the following hot key and it will work like a charm!

One other question, am I allowed to upload an image. Was trying to but got a privilege type error.

 

Thanks,

Wow that is incredible! I noticed it only works with the Montage selected. Chart and watch list don't work.

 

We don't have image uploading enabled in the forums. You can upload to imgur.com and paste the link.

I supposed it's kind of like using the hotkeys for long or short. It needs the montage selected. For me this is useful since I have a montage button and a finviz button on the stream deck also. The montage button allows me to traverse through the montages screens (similar function as the keyboard End key) or I can also use the mouse (which ever I can touch first).

 

My setup is just a simple. Beside the stream deck, I am using a 34 inches wide monitor to view 3 stocks (set of 1 min and 5 min charts). Going to practice and try to master 2 strategies for now (Support and Resistance, VWap).

 

Thanks,

 

Michael

Great tip thanks boys

This is awesome. I've added this as an icon and a hotkey on my StreamDeck home screen.

Thanks! I had that script correct, but didn't realize you needed to have the montage selected  and not the chart/market viewer.

As a tip, they added a FocusWindow hotkey in version .33. If you give the montage (right click title -> config -> name) a title, you can then set focus before executing the webpage hotkey.

Example: Montage window title: MyMontageA

FocusWindow MyMontageA; https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=%SYMB%

 

Downside is that it'll always use that montage for the SYMB value.

A huge thank you for posting on this. I use the Finviz hotkey dozens of times a day and half the time have had to type the symbol manually because of a dead page. This is really helpful!

This is the hotkey command:

You have to select the montage for pressing the hotkey.
