Hi, I have a hotkey set up to sell at market, whereby it will immediately set a bracket order to take profit and stop loss. It gets me into positions fine, and also sets up the bracket orders ok, but I can't figure out what I have set up incorrectly (if anything) to get this popup. Screenshot below of (1) popup (2) hotkey setup.

Perfect - that worked - it wasn't checked before. Thanks!

Hi, How do I exclude pre and post market prices from historical charts? Examples here, NEM chart - Interactive brokers TWS shows this as a gap up (does not include pre-market trades), but Medved doesn't.

Apologies for bringing up this old thread - but is there an variable hotkey that is "account value" now? I don't see anything that resembles it in the variables page, but just want to be sure

Sometimes I have to be away from the screens for a while, and was wondering if it is possible for me to give Medved an instruction to enter (or exit) a position if something happens on the chart (e.g. MACD crossover, or the price moving below a certain moving average). Also, assuming it is an entry - am I able to also have it set a stop based on something else happening on the chart?

That makes sense. Thanks Jerry!

I have 4 level 2 windows with IB as the source. Is 3 the limit? I don't have Level 2 showing in TWS.

I have 4 tickers up on charts, each colour linked to Level 2 windows. Account is linked to Interactive Brokers, and data is also from Interactive Brokers. When changing tickers, I sometimes end up with the Level 2 just showing the first line, but then sometimes, all the lines show up. This seems to happen at random too. Sometimes, going into Settings > Data Source -Configure Accounts > Interactive Brokers, and changing "Max lines on Level II" to a different number resets some of Level 2 windows (and they show all the lines properly), but sometimes it doesn't make a difference (and the L2 will still just show the first line). Example of how it looks:

Sorry I wasn't very clear. I mean just for this one trade. So if I already have $15k of this position, I don't mind buying more. just that I want this specific trade capped at a specific amount.

Hi, I've got a buy at market hotkey which helps me automatically work out position size based on how much I want to risk, ask price, and stop loss price. I have it set up as per image below (It's set to risk $30 per trade). I'm now trying to incorporate a way to have a cap on the maximum position size, at say $10,000. How would I put that into the formula? Tried searching through help & forums on how to do this but couldn't figure it out.

Great stuff, that works. Thanks!

Hi, I've got a buy at market hotkey which helps me automatically work out position size based on how much I want to risk, ask price, and stop loss price. i.e. to risk $30 per trade, it's entered as: 30/(Ask-PriceAtMouse) I'm now trying to trying to do the same for a Buy Stop, using Trade Beads. I've got bead(1) as the stop loss price, and bead(2) as the trigger price to buy at market, but when I press the hotkey after selecting bead(1) and bead(2) on the chart, I get an error saying "Hotkey Error: Order quantity of 0". Screenshots attached: Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Just tested, it's fixed now. Thanks!

Hi Jerry, I ran into another problem now. Similar in that a hotkey is only executing on one account only, so will just add on to this thread. I'm trying to set up a hotkey to flatten both accounts, but when I execute it, only one account gets flat. Screenshot of hotkey setup and chart window / account view attached. Did I set up the hotkey incorrectly?
