Hotkey issue

[danielvae 0]

Hello

I use the sell/cover % and move stop loss to BE. However, when i use it to cover a % of a short it removes the stop loss completely. Really appreciate any help, this is driving me nuts lol

you probably wrongly assumed that Pos-share on longs equivalent should be Pos+share for shorts, but it is not like that. Change the Pos+share to Pos-share and it should work.

you are probably getting error Invalid shares because you are trying to set a stop order for number of shares you do not have or do not have the BP for.

for working hotkeys always go here

I got the script directly from this link https://bearbulltraders.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/DAS-Video-Series-Hotkey-Scripts.pdf
I dont even remember where i found this link and have no idea if this file is still being used but there it says Pos+share, somebody should maybe check that out lol.
Thanks for the help 🙂

it might have been that the post is so old that at that time it worked like that then it was changed in das over the time. or maybe you have enabled the new syntax in your das while the syntax you use is old syntax which does not work

Just starting with the Das simulator. Want build a specific hot key script unless there is one already out there that I have not seen. 

if the share is $20. I want to buy 100/1000/etc. limit order. that will sell automatically if the share drops to $19.80 or reaches $21..

that is available here as the OCO order. the example there is 1/3 risk/reward so you  need to adapt it to 1/5
