Is an ATM Strategy User Accesable

[ct]

Can an ATM strategy definition be read or modified. I didn't know if it was stored somewhere in an XML file.

Scenario: I want to use an ATM strategy in a strategy for placing orders but would like to modify the ATM strategy sometimes.

Hello ct,

The only supported way you can modify an ATM Strategy is by opening up an Order Entry for example an SuperDOM, select the ATM Strategy, modify it, and then save it again.

The ATM Strategies are going to be saved in the NinjaTrader Database file ( Documents -> NinjaTrader 7 -> db -> NinjaTrader.sdf ) so it will not be easily open and modified via code.

This is a Microsoft SQL file, which can be modified but would require quite a bit of SQL and coding knowledge to be able to change this.

You may want to make multiple ATM Strategies and then use a user defined input parameter to change the name of the ATM Strategy that you would like to use.

What you could do, is to create several ATM strategies and save them, and then let your automated strategy select one of them. Once the ATM strategy has been activated by your strategy, it cannot be modified anymore.
