Strategy and ChartTrader Conflict

[Camdo]

I am confused.
Is it a bug that SetStopLoss and SetProfitTarget cannot be simutaneously enabled from a Ninja script? And is this a problem that is to be resolved?

Camdo,

There is no bug. This is a regulatory limitation. You cannot place a stop and target at the same time to a stock with MBT.

I realize The regulatory limitation.

What I want is to program a NinjaScript strategy to perform the same way as an ATM strategy.

Camdo,

It already behaves the same way. Both from NS strategy or from ATM will result in rejected orders. If you want it to behave in a way that you can have it bracket your trade you will have to program one at a time. Submit a stop order. When price moves closer to the other direction, cancel the first and submit the other.

I will try CancelOrder(IOrder order) method. Thanks for the tip.

I will also investigate why my ATM strategies are accepting bracketed orders. They must be in simulation mode. I understand simulated stoploss is possible, but I am not aware that simulated ProfitTarget is a possibility.

I assume that ATM is just a preprogramed interface using the same order handling code as NinjaScript would have available to it. Is that true?

ATM and NinjaScript ultimately boil down to the same "interface", yes.
