Maunual Entry and ATM management?

[Jim-Boulder]

Is it possible to invoke a strategy that 'waits' for a manual trade entry (executed by me manually)--but then the strategy takes over the trade management using ATM commands and logic?

My idea is to have the strategy 'watching' for a position to be taken-then it takes it over...I would do this from chart trader-----

Jim-Boulder,

Unfortunately not. A strategy does not know about any of your manual trades.

OPen Position?

Thanks Josh--I was hoping it could 'ping' the positions object and if there was a position open take an action-I figured it wouldn't know that I manually traded---but in effect it could by monitoring if I had an open position in the account...

Strategies only know what its own strategy position is and not what is held by the account so that won't work.
