'GetAtmStrategyMarketPosition' method error: ATM strategy

[junkone]

According to the documentation, I should get a marketflat response instead of this error.
'GetAtmStrategyMarketPosition' method error: ATM strategy ID 'a14d63f8bbf24672a1c7931bebdd3f80' does not exist

Hello junkone,

Thank you for your post.

You are correct that it needs review. If the ATM Strategy ID does not exist the method could not be called. Make sure the ATM Strategy ID is not set to null before trying to call it.

To avoid error on Output window you have to check first if an ATMstrategy is open with atmStrategyId.Length, just the same as the sample file. This works either on NT7 and NT8

Example: Dataseries that keeps track of position on every bar while the strategy is running:

position.Set(-1); // Flat
if (atmStrategyId.Length > 0)
{
if (GetAtmStrategyMarketPosition(atmStrategyId) == Cbi.MarketPosition.Long)
{
position.Set(1); // Long
}
else
{
position.Set(0); // Short
}
}
