DAS Trader Pro – How to Exit All Positions at Once

Sometimes the unpredicted is happening, and we need to act before we understand what is going on. In those cases, many traders want to close all the positions quickly.

Regular Hours

For regular hours there is one simple command, which is called PANIC. Its usage is simple

PANIC;

It can be a hotkey, a hot button, a window button, or a conditional script call.

By default this command often comes pre-configured in the default DAS Trader Pro installation on a hotkey shortcut Shift+Escape.

However, the command does not work in pre-market and after-market trading hours. It is made to use market orders. For extended hours trading, but honestly for any time of day trading, we can use a script to close all the positions at once in a very similar way.

Both extended hours and regular hours

For extended hours trading, we need a bit more complicated script, but it is universal for anyone. I call it the true panic hotkey, as it fills in the missing space of the simple PANIC hotkey.

To use this script, you need:

  1. A recent version of DAS Trader Pro (version 5.8.1.6 at least).
  2. Advanced Hotkeys enabled in your settings and a named montage window as described in this blog. 

How It Works

Once called, the command performs the following steps automatically:

  • Scans for all open positions
    It checks all symbols you have traded today (up to a limit of 9999 positions for DAS Trader Pro version 5.8.2.5 or newer).
  • Identifies shares
    It cycles through each symbol and checks your current position size.
  • Determines the trade direction
    It detects whether you are LONG or SHORT for the position.
  • Clears the orders
    It cancels all open orders for those symbols.
  • Adjusts rounding
    For stocks trading under $1, it automatically rounds the price to four decimal places.
  • Exits the positions
    It triggers an exit for every position using your preferred route.

Here is the True panic hotkey

// name your montage window and set it here
$montage=getwindowobj("Montage1");

// set your exit route
$MYROUTE="LIMIT";

$IROW=0;
$TOTAL=GetAccountObj($montage.account).getallpositions().total+1;
while($IROW<$TOTAL)
{
if(isobj(GetAccountObj($montage.account).getallpositions().get($IROW)))
{
$montage.symbol=GetAccountObj($montage.account).getallpositions().get($IROW).SYMBOL;
$MYPOS=GetAccountObj($montage.account).getposition($MONTAGE.Symbol).share;
if ($MYPOS==0)
{}
else
{
$MONTAGE.CXL ALLSYMB;
if ($MYPOS>0)
{
$Montage.price=$montage.last*0.98;
}
else
{
$Montage.price=$montage.last*1.02;
}
if ($MONTAGE.price>=1)
{
$MONTAGE.Price=Round($Montage.price,2);
}
else
{
$MONTAGE.Price=Round($Montage.price,4);
}
$MONTAGE.ROUTE=$MYROUTE;
$MONTAGE.Share=$MONTAGE.POS;
$MONTAGE.Send=Reverse;
}
}
$IROW=$IROW+1;
}

You can set this up as a Hotkey, a Hot Button, or a Window Button. The script is also flexible - you can easily modify it to use different routing options based on the time of day or other specific needs in the $MYROUTE line. This hotkey uses a limit order to exit with a price offset of 2% up or down from the current price. This can be adapted in the $montage.price lines.
