Using trade beads to workout quantity to trade

Recommended Posts

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?
