Appreciate the video, bro. Can you create a video to show how to set up custom buttons for executing BUY and SELL LIMIT OCO orders as well as BUY and SELL STOP LIMIT ORDERS WITH take profit and stop loss? Do you offer 1:1s to go over these topics? Thx.

Thanks. Need your help - I was trying to configure a Preset in TWS for "Adjustable Stop" in a Scenario where I bought the stock @100 (With 20% stop loss) and in case it hits 4% profit and it triggers a Trailing limit for Sell with a Trailing amount 5%. Some how I am getting the error of "Invalid Trigger Price" and I have tried multiple options included Parent order in the Adjusted fields. I have tried this in both Pre market and normal market. Can you please help on what all need to go in the Primary order and Attached stop order (in terms of %)

Hello Nicco, I am currently using buttons on booktrader for simulation trading and following the configuration for limit orders, and when put in use I get a message "you must enter a valid price." Does buttons on booktrader only works for live account with purchased data? Thank you!

[isshikiotsutsuki]

how do i change the size from the normal size to the lot size on the level 2? the nromal size shows the full size of the orders but the lot size shows 1 lot which would mean 100 shares, thats what i want. thank you.

So no idea what that means? Under the section "DEEP BOOK BUTTONS" all my buttons are greyed out such as NYSE OPENBOOK, ARCABOOK, BEX, BATS. ETC however i cant even see that on yours
