Changing ATM strategy on an open trade

[maiganrui]

Hi,

I am currently evaluating NT to switch over from TradeStation. I like the ATM Strategy features very much, but I am having trouble changing the ATM strategy on an open trade.

As a context, I use OSO order features extensively in TradeStation. I attach OSO order templates to every order I place. This feature automatically creates a limit order and a stop market order.... and makes the trade management very easy.

Another flexibility in TS is that I can change the limit order or the stop market order on an open trade created by the OSO template.

This is the flexibility I am unable to replicate with NT's ATM Strategy feature.

For example, in the attached picture, I have an open order using the ATM Strategy. If I now want to change the limit order or the stop market order managed by the ATM Strategy, I am unable to do this. If I click on these order, I get a pop-up asking me place another order (second picture attached).

Can someone let me know if I am doing something wrong or confirm if you cannot change ATM strategy on an open trade? All I am looking for is the ability to change the limit orders and stop market orders managed by the ATM strategy.

Best,

Mai
