How to Download and Use Andrew’s DAS Layout
1. Download the files by clicking the button below:
2. Unzip the file; you will have two files:
- default.dsk
- Riskbased_
hotbuttons.dsk
3. Click File > Open Desktop. Locate, select and open the default.dsk file in the folder you just unzipped.
4. The most commonly used hotkeys are already included with the default installation of DAS. However, if you wish to download a PDF file that contains the scripts for commonly used/advanced hotkeys, please click here.
5. Note that everybody’s DAS configuration is constantly evolving – even Andrews – so minor differences are expected between the download files and prior videos. What’s important is that you learn the settings for yourself and modify your setup to fit your trading style.
6. The layout files provided are meant to be starting points for you to create and customize your own DAS desktop. Since each trading station has different monitors (resolution, orientation, etc.), it is difficult to just load Andrew’s layout and be on your way.
We encourage you to visit our Education Center, in the Technology sections you will find videos on how to configure DAS Trader.
