Arg Posted January 6, 2021 Report Share Posted January 6, 2021 Hi, What's wrong with this buy hotkey...says 0 position size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Medved Posted January 6, 2021 Report Share Posted January 6, 2021 Quantity is Default. Which means that, if on chart, it is whatever is in the Trading ribbon menu tab under Qty. Is it 0 there? Also, if you want to trade in the account that is specified in that Trading ribbon, you don't have to specify which account it is in the hotkey, it will take it from the window on which it executes.

Arg Posted January 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2021 I mean sell hotkey of course. It's a nice feature to have the hotkeys take default values from the trading window. The default share size was set - so it shouldn't have been zero. AFter using the hotkey the trading window got reset...changed appearance, eg share size options changed, and also share size was set to zero.

Mike Medved Posted January 6, 2021 Report Share Posted January 6, 2021 Hm. Was the trade account selected on the trading window the hamilbody one? Is this repeatable (obviously change the Send to false so you dont send stuff out when testing)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arg Posted January 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2021 It works now...I hadn't filled in the correct section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arg Posted January 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2021 I bought with a hotkey - works ok. Then I try to sell with a hotkey and I get Order Quantity of 0 error (see snapshot below). When I press the sell hotkey it changed some parameters in the trading window..eg it changed the quantity box to 0 and also TIF and I think some others. So it seems the problem is that pressing the hotkey is changing the trading params. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
