meatskin2000 1 Posted April 23 I want to switch over to using 1% of my account instead of using fixed risk. I was going thru the “bbt.dastraderpro_hotkey_config-V2” and I tried them but I’m confused how it suppose to work b/c, I don’t know if my account is margin x4, if so how do I calculate 1% of my balance. So when I took a trade in sim, I still couldn’t figure out if I just used 1% of my account. Also I didn’t get the auto SL/TP flags. I thought maybe someone has been in the same situation and switch from fixed risk to % risk. Any help is appreciated! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will cover it in the next article I am preparing regarding the reading of object properties. Or as I mentioned in the other posts, do it by changing weekly the static risk Edited Wednesday at 07:10 AM by peterB 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Where I double click on the chart it thinks that is where my order should be placed. So when I press the hot key to submit the short order nothing happens. Also I cannot seem to get any other hot key working. I have your youtube videos and viewed your substack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
