Errors in placing orders in DAS

[Chris Shepard 1]

Hey guys,

 

I am getting "can't get valid price" error pretty often when I am trading in the SIM...  how can I avoid this?  My hot keys are working about 50% of the time.

I am using the Buy $50 Risk 2-1 hotkey where I am getting the error and I am double clicking where I want to put my stop:

CXL ALLSYMB;StopPrice=Price-0;DefShare=BP*0.925;Price=Ask-Price+0.00;SShare=50/Price;Share=DefShare-SShare;DefShare=DefShare+SShare;SShare=Share;Sshare=DefShare-SShare;Share=0.5*SShare;TogSShare;ROUTE=LIMIT;Price= Ask+0.05;TIF=DAY+;BUY=Send;DefShare=200;Price=Ask-StopPrice*2+Ask;TriggerOrder=RT:STOP STOPTYPE:RANGE LowPrice:StopPrice HighPrice:Price ACT:SELL QTY:POS TIF:DAY+

 

Cheers,

besides some minor syntactical errors in the hotkey itself you might be using your hotkey wrong. there are better hotkeys available for some time already which are more human readable and easier to understand so do yourself a favor and switch to the newer syntax, you will need to do it sooner or later anyway
