Chart Trader Not Saving ATM Order Quantity

[DeskTroll]

Today when I opened Chart Trader all my ATM Strategies were gone and after re-entering none would save the order quantity...defaulted to 2 contracts even after several attempts to change.

Update: Deleted all newly created ATM's, re-entered and now seems to be saving...will play around with it more today.

Interesting. Please ensure you are on 7.0.0.3 in the meantime.

Question...in NT7B6...ATM Strategies set in chart trader in charts do not persist when you close and then open NT again...is this intended ??

Thanks...

Hmm .. here is what I just tested:
- start NT
- open DOM on ES
- open chart on ES 1 minute + enable chart trader
- start ATM strategy from a AT strategy template on DOM

-> active strategy is selected on both combo boxes of DOM and chart trader

- shut down NT + save workspaces
- restart NT
- connect

-> active strategy is selected on both combo boxes of DOM and chart trader -> no issue

What are you doing differently?

[Alfred]

Well...
Just tried again on 2 machines..

Set ATM strategy in DOM
Set same ATM strategy in chart trader on one chart (same instrument)
(while connected on 1 machine...does not seem to make a difference if connected or not though.)

Closed NT7B6
Opened NT7B6

Same ATM shows in DOM but in chart trader says "none" both before and after connecting.

Don't think have ever gotten this to persist...am I missing a step perhaps ??


Thanks...

Neither Josh nor I had been able to reproduce.

- please double check you are on latest NT7B6
- if issue persists: pls zip and attach
* your Default chart template
* your active workspace

Thanks

Am on NT7.0.0.6

Just emailed zipped files...

Dierk...

My default template did not include showing chart trader as True initially (when I made the video)...although the template for the chart itself did include chart trader and Chart trader was shown as true in properties for the chart in the video.

I just changed my default template to include chart trader as True. Then went back and reloaded the regular template for the chart that was there initially which also included chat trader as True.

Now the ATM in the chart trader will persist upon shut down and restart OK.

Is it a requirement to have chart trader set as True in the default template to make the ATM persist in all other templates that include chart trader ??

Thanks...!!

The technique described in the post below was tested on my single monitor machine...I can duplicate this ATM persist there OK as below...

But on my 2 monitor machine the same technique as below does not work with NT7B6...the ATM always reverts to "none" upon restart. The DOM and Control are on monitor #2 there...wonder if that makes a difference ??

Thanks...

Please send me the Default (!) chart template which would exhibit that behavior. Thanks
