Basic Options Trading Hotkeys

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I am looking for a very basic hotkey script that I can use whereby DAS will automatically calculate the number of contracts to purchase based on a defined $ amount.

For example, I wish to buy $1000 worth of an option with a current ask price of $1 (contract price $100) - on punching my hotkey DAS should go ahead and purchase 10 contracts ($1000 / ask*100).

Is there a simple hotkey script to achieve this? Also, which window needs to be active when punching the hotkey - the options chain or the montage?

I don't know if it affects the script at all, but for reference my broker is IBKR.

Any help would be greatly appreciated - thanks!
