SAS Online

This page shows how to add a SAS Online account in AutoTrader Web. It has two steps: get your TOTP key, then add the trading account.

Demo

Step 1: Obtain TOTP Key

When you set up TOTP, SAS Online gives you a Key. If you already have this Key, skip to Step 2.

If you do not have the TOTP key, do the following:

1. Go to the SAS Trading Website.
2. Login with your password.
3. The next page asks you for TOTP.
4. Click the Forget TOTP / Mobile Lost? link.
5. Enter your PAN number.
6. Enter the OTP received on your mobile.
7. When you login again, you will see a “TOTP setup” screen:
   1. Install Google Authenticator on your phone.
   2. Scan the QR code shown by SAS Online in Google Authenticator. This shows a TOTP that you can use to log in to the SAS Online website.
   3. Important: Click the “Can’t Scan, Copy the key” link on the SAS Online website (just below the QR code).
   4. Copy the shown Key and save it in Notepad for the next step.

Step 2: Add Trading Account

1. Go to the AutoTrader Web menu (Accounts -> Trading Accounts).
2. Click the Create button.
3. Select Broker as SAS.
4. Select SAS_STOCKO_API as the platform.
5. Enter your SAS login id.
6. Enter your SAS password.
7. Enter the TOTP Key obtained in the previous step. (See screenshot below.)
8. Click Validate and Save.

That’s it. You have added your SAS Online account. Do not forget to read these known limitations.

Bracket and cover orders on SAS Online

SAS Online offers bracket and cover orders of its own, and you can carry on using them — they are still in the Variety list and nothing about them changes. AutoTrader has its own versions too, and they are worth knowing about because they behave the same way on every broker you trade.

An AutoTrader bracket order (AT_BO) attaches a target and a stop-loss to your SAS Online order, with an optional trailing stop that follows the price in your favour and never moves back. An AutoTrader cover order (AT_CO) is the same thing with a stop-loss only. Your entry reaches SAS Online as an ordinary intraday order, and AutoTrader Web watches the price and sends the closing order when your level is reached. Use it when you want a trailing stop that behaves identically across brokers, when you want to change your levels after placing, or when you trade several brokers and want one set of rules.

Place one from the order window, from your own code, or from a chart alert. It is intraday only, it does not give you the extra intraday margin some brokers give on their own bracket orders, and the position is squared off automatically a short while before the market closes.

Read the risk before you use it. A stop-loss decides when we try to exit — it does not decide the price you get. A sudden move can take the price straight past your level, so your loss can be larger than the stop-loss you set. The full explanation, and the one-time terms you agree to before your first one, are on Bracket & Cover Orders.
