NS Strategy creating ATM strategy

[uacvax]

When programming a NS strategy that manages PositionAccount via ATM strategies for me to manage on Chart Trader, the NS strategy is preventing the chart's "Plot executions" setting from showing through.

Is there a setting or code line I can add to prevent the NS strategy from blocking "Plot executions"?

Hello,

This is a bit tricky, due to the way your strategy is interacting with manually managed orders (if I'm interpreting your strategy correctly). If you are entering and exiting orders manually, then there will not be a way to prevent the strategy from blocking the execution plots.

When a strategy is configured on a chart, you will only see execution plots for strategy-generated orders. If you remove the strategy, you should then see the execution plots that were missing while it was applied.

One way to resolve this would be to draw custom execution plots directly via your strategy, since strategies support using Drawing Objects (including Arrow and Text).

Hello uacvax,

Another workaround for this is overlaying an additional, same data series over the chart your strategy is running on.

For instance, say you're running your strategy on a 1 minute ES 03-16 chart. While still in that chart, type "+1M" (no quotes) and hit enter. This will bring up another 1 minute ES 03-16 right below the chart your strategy is running on in a new panel. Go ahead and click and drag that new data series into the top panel.

Both the strategy executions and the regular plot executions will now be combined in one panel.
