Long and Short

[ZendoZafu]

Can I go Long and Short on ES at the same time... One is for scalping and other for a longer time frame. Have both long and short open?

Hello ZendoZafu,

Thank you for your post.

One of the great features of NinjaTrader is its ability to manage multiple virtual positions in the same market. This allows you to manage a long and short position in the same market simultaneously.
Here is how this is accomplished:

• Open 2 SuperDOMs and set them both to the same market
• Right click in on of the SuperDOMs and select the menu "Properties"
• Set the 'ATM Strategy selection mode' parameter to "DisplaySelectedAtmStrategyOnly"
• Repeat the last two instructions on the second SuperDOM
• Submit a buy order to open a long position in the first SuperDOM
• Submit a sell order to open a short position in the second SuperDOM

In addition to these instructions, I suggest reviewing the content available in our Online Help Guide specific to this topic.
