DAS - Dynamically Calculate Shares on %Risk or $Risk - Hot Key + Configuration, Updated 9/10/19, v2.1

[natelockett 0]

I am wondering if there is a way to Use the Hotkeys for Price targets based on R multipliers and still have the stop loss from the equalized risk in place. When I try to do this I get an Error. Also, is there a way that when My first target gets hit, lets say 25% of my position gets sold at 1R can I then move my stop order to breakeven based on what I have profited already? Thank you for this as the tool is incredible!

@KyleK29 I noticed in the DAS "Configuration Management" window under "New Features-under development" the option to turn-on "Hotkey Advanced Script". Have you had a chance to investigate and is there any information available on how it works?

Hi,

 

in regards to these scripts, specifically the modified ones from William in the below video, the R target price gets put almost at the entry price when ever R > 1.

CXL ALLSYMB;StopPrice=Price+0;DefShare=BP*0.925;Price=Price-Bid+0.00;SShare=100/Price;Share=DefShare-SShare;DefShare=DefShare+SShare;SShare=Share;Sshare=DefShare-SShare;Share=0.5*SShare;TogSShare;ROUTE=LIMIT;Price=Bid-0.03;TIF=GTC;SELL=Send;DefShare=200;Price=StopPrice-Bid*3;Price=Bid-Price;TriggerOrder=RT:STOP STOPTYPE:RANGE LowPrice:Price HighPrice:StopPrice ACT:BUY QTY:POS TIF:GTC

 

Please see the above script and see the issue reproduced Price=StopPrice-Bid*3; gives the issues but Price=StopPrice-Bid*1; works fine.

 

Thanks

In order to do this, you would need two trigger orders.  The first trigger order would be a range stop order for 25% of your position and then the second would be the standard stop order for 75% of your position.  After the Range Stop is triggered, you can manually move the regular stop to break even.

There is a problem with this, though.  If your dynamically calculated position is an odd number of shares, the 25% and 75% would not equal your complete position.  In that case, you would need to manually change one of the orders.

I'm guessing you are talking about having a Trigger order that is a Range Stop order where the high and low are calculated on R.

Hello Kyle,

I downloaded this hot keys but some reason I don't get the exit and target entries for the short script only on the long. I may have messed something up when I copied them, but I can't find it. Nor can I find the document I originally copied them from. Any help would be appreciated. 

Short:

CXLALLSYMB;StopPrice=Price+0;DefShare=BP*0.925;Price=Price-Bid+0.00;SShare=100/Price;Share=DefShare-SShare;DefShare=DefShare+SShare;SShare=Share;Sshare=DefShare-SShare;Share=0.5*SShare;TogSShare;ROUTE=LIMIT;Price=Bid-0.05;TIF=DAY+;SELL=Send;DefShare=200;Price=StopPrice-Bid*2;Price=Bid-Price;TriggerOrder=RT:STOP STOPTYPE:RANGELowPrice:Price HighPrice:StopPrice ACT:BUY QTY:POS TIF:DAY+

 

Long(Which works fine):

CXL ALLSYMB;StopPrice=Price-0;DefShare=BP*0.925;Price=Ask-Price+0.00;SShare=100/Price;Share=DefShare-SShare;DefShare=DefShare+SShare;SShare=Share;Sshare=DefShare-SShare;Share=0.5*SShare;TogSShare;ROUTE=SMRTL;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+

 

Thank you

Tom

TriggerOrder=RT:STOP STOPTYPE:RANGELowPrice:Price

It's only and educated guess but I'd assume the lack of a space here between the RANGE and LowPrice would be causing an issue because it's two different calls. So basically this instead.

TriggerOrder=RT:STOP STOPTYPE:RANGE LowPrice:Price

There may be other issues but I'd try that first.

Hi All,   I hope anyone can help me with this? So I have a hotkey for a fixed risk of $50: StopPrice=Price-0.01;DefShare=BP*0.97;Price=Ask-Price+0.01;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=400;TriggerOrder=RT:STOP STOPTYPE:MARKET PX:StopPrice-0.1 ACT:SELL STOPPRICE:StopPrice QTY:Pos TIF:DAY+;ROUTE=LIMIT;   My question is, how can I make a hotkey for a stoploss (when by any reason my original stop loss is lost) at that $50 fixed risk level (example: AvgCost=340.83, Shares=250, so 50/250=0.2 > AvgCost-0.2= 338.83= Stoploss fixed risk $50

Hey D-Zitter2, thank you for sending over that excel file. As they stated on the PDF page I had, "Do NOT copy this as there are line breaks that will cause the script not to work"! Was put there for a good reason. However that spread sheet has all of them. 

Much appreciated. 

 

Best Regards, 

Tom
