How does this work?

[SystemTrading]

I've created a template for an ATM strategy in my superdome named VolumeStop. I then enter a position on the Superdome with my VolumeStop ATM Strategy selected. However when running in debug mode of visual studio, the code doesn't even get hit. There are no errors in the log. This is the basic of my code.

Hi SystemTrading,

not sure I follow - you can use NinjaScript and ATM strategies to manually exit (via your ATM templates) NinjaScript strategy generated trades, to attach an ATM template to a strategy you want to use the ATMStrategyCreate() - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...egyCreate.html

Here is some general info on NinjaScript and ATM strategies - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...trategies.html

So is it possible to enter a trade using the dome window and attach an ATM strategy to it for money management?

Hi SystemTrading,

Yes, of course - if it is a template created in the SuperDOM - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...nStrategy.html

Or you can code a NinjaScript strategy and use a predefined ATM strategy template as exit order management strategy, to see how to link those to your NinjaScript strategy, please review the 'SampleATMStrategy' installed by default with your NinjaTrader.
