save ATM strategy

[junkone]

the ATM strategy has <None> or Custom.
if i use custom, how do i save the custom strategy so i can use it the next time
how can i have multiple custom strategy. for eg. in some cases i may have a stop of 4 ticks and other cases 8 ticks. i dont want to keep changing the stop values and rather save it with some label so i can reuse it later.

After you have input your parameters, simply right click the DOM and select 'manage ATM strategies', then name it. It will overwrite the ATM strategy highlighted in the 'manage templates' dialogue box without deleting it. Poof! You have added another strategy. Just be sure to change the names. Good trading to you!

thanks.
can u change or cancel a strategy during a open trade.

Yes, click in the DOM--> Cancel all orders.

This will take off your strategy. Keep in mind that you will be left in a naked position.

how about changing teh strategy.
for eg. i may start a strategy with 10 ticks Trail stop and later during the trrade decide that i want to tighten to 4 ticks stop strategy. can i do it during a open trade and will it take immediate effect

[NinjaTrader_VinceB]

Absolutely,

When the order is working, right click on the Stop Loss in the Buy colum then uncheck 'Auto trail'.
Right click again at the same place and select Auto trail properties. Set up your new parameters and click OK.
Now right click once more on the Stop Loss and enable the Auto trail. Your new parameters will now kick in once the markets hits them.

without using ATM how do u setup trailing stop using chart trader

[NinjaTrader_VinceB]

Not possible. You need to have a stop loss to trail.

What I suggest is to attend today's SuperDOM session which starts at Noon Eastern. A lot of your questions will be answered there. See the link in my signature for more info.
