Robert H 453 Posted January 25, 2018 EDIT 16-APR-2018: With the help of Raymond W, we've been able to define a single hotkey for flipping an open position: Simulator: ROUTE=MARKET;Share=Pos*2;TIF=DAY+;SEND=REVERSE Interactive Brokers: ROUTE=SMRTM;Share=Pos*2;TIF=DAY+;SEND=REVERSE Note that this hotkey will send a market order. ===== I'm trying to define a single hotkey to switch an open position. For now, I was able to create two separate hotkeys for switching a long-to-short, and a short-to-long. Flip Long to Short ROUTE=SMRTL;Share=Pos*2;Price=Bid-.05;TIF=DAY+;SELL=Send Flip Short to Long ROUTE=SMRTL;Share=Pos*2;Price=Ask+.05;TIF=DAY+;BUY=Send 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Greg K 5 Posted February 1, 2018 Very cool Robert! I could have used this today in trading BABA. Sorry I don't know the answer to your question. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Martin 1 Posted March 1, 2018 Hi Robert, I used the hotkey today to flip a position from short to long, but i did not work out well. i was short MU with 183 Shares and after flipping it to long i was in possession of 2 Shares :) Long to short works fine. i think its because of the -2 in the script. instead of ROUTE=SMRTL;Share=Pos*-2;Price=Ask+.05;TIF=DAY+;BUY=Send i was trying ROUTE=SMRTL;Share=Pos*(-2);Price=Ask+.05;TIF=DAY+;BUY=Send but that does not work either. I was playing around but i couldnt figure it out. Any suggestions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robert H 453 Posted March 1, 2018 Great catch, Martin! I updated the original post with the corrected script: ROUTE=SMRTL;Share=Pos*2;Price=Ask+.05;TIF=DAY+;BUY=Send 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FlourishingWeee 43 Posted September 3, 2019 So, to close an open position, long or short, I could just use this one hotkey right? ROUTE=SMRTM;Share=Pos;TIF=GTC;SEND=REVERSE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
