autotrail on manualorder

[vk2205]

Hi,

I am sending orders from an external program to the "incoming" folder of NJ for autobtrading. I'd like NJ to manage the autotrail order and take profits. How do I do this?

thanks much!

If you mean that you want to send an order to NT which then opens a position managed by an ATM strategy...then you have to use the following string and pass in the ATM strategy template name.

You can use the OIF Builder to rapidly test various options to get the results you desire. This will show you the correct string format for the files that your external program will generate.

thx

thx, Ray.

Here's what I was trying to do

1.Open Position : External program uses OIF builder syntax
2. Close position : Autotrailing order using nj script. No OIF.

OIFdoes not have a way to send a one click autotrail order from external program
