Do you have a PANIC hotkey for a market order just to be safe that I always get out 100%?

Does this panic button work for premarket and after hour trades as well?

the PANIC command works in normal market hours only and it cancels all orders and exits all positions you have.

to script a panic hotkey for extended hours in DAS Trader Pro is tricky as we have only option to go through the watch list and call the positions exits one by one. there is no way to read all the symbols for all the opened positions for now

Peter, are you able to share a writeup of optimal DAS setup settings for the quickest speed/executions? I've recently pivoted to Ocean One for quick entries and exits (plus the added benefit of your scripts not needing to be customized to another broker), but I'm getting some lag vs the TOS version. Thank you sir

You are seeing more lag with Ocean One + DAS than you saw with Schwab + DAS?

I was the first day. (User error thankfully) I've since come to know the true speed. It's lightning fast!

the execution speed is something out of our control so despite the technicals like internet connectivity and selling on bid and buying on ask while using the broker recomended routes (like FLSH for exits on Ocean One) there is not much to optimize in terms of scripting
