Hello,

Thank you for your post.

If you left click on the small button with the three periods above the Strategy dropdown list a box will open where you input the strategy parameters. Upon creating a strategy please right click on the window and select Manage ATM Strategy Templates. From there you can save the template. Please see the following link for more information.

ok, never know its built using right click.

I have problem setting up 3 steps system.

First when profit is 10 ticks, it is Breakeven, this part is easy to do by putting 10 in "Profit trigger".
Step 2 is i want to change the stop lose= +5 when Profit hits 20 ticks.
Step 3 is after profit is 21 or more, SL is +6, +7 ..... until original target is filled.

IM not too sure what to do on step 2, 3.

Hi,

I have attached a screenshot of the stop strategy you would use. Basically, since at 20 ticks you want the stop to 5 ticks above entry it would an offset of 15 ticks behind the profit trigger. The frequency means it will readjust every additional tick in profit. You can test this using the Simulated Data Feed and trending the market. Also, please see the following link for more information.

How come the simulated data doesnt work for me?
I can see the price on the trading part is moving up/down, but on the chart it is empty..

Hi,

The simulated data feed provides internally canned data, but it does not provide simulated historical data. What you are seeing with the current price trading, but no historical data is to be expected. Please see the following link.

How do I enter trade and test the SL strategy without data?
When i Enter Market, it says i must be connected to submit order.
The price under those buttons are moving up and down, but the chart is always empty.

Never mind, i found the DOM can place orders.

Hi,

Thank you for the clarification.

Even though there is no historical data on the chart you should be able to place trades if there is real-time data. But, you can place orders in the DOM as well.

im playing with the DOM, i uncheck Auto-center, it still center itself so keep moving up/down.

[NinjaTrader_RyanO]

Hi,

Are you using the Static or Dynamic SuperDOM?

[MoreYummy]

you are right, i was using dynamic DOM..
How come dynamic DOM has auto-center, since it doesnt work.

[MoreYummy]

when using dynamic DOM, the entry, SL, profit target isnt showing on the chart, is it what it should be?

[NinjaTrader_RyanO]

Hi,

The Dynamic SuperDOM has that feature since the right hand submenu is based on the SuperDOM, whether Static or Dynamic. However, the Dynamic does not take advantage of Auto Center since the prices are always centered in the DOM, and the price ladder moves.

Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

[MoreYummy]

How about when i enter order using Static DOM, and show the entry, SL, profit target on the chart, just like the chart trade?

Or put DOM in the chart trading session on the right hand side.

Hi,

On the top of a chart, the fourth icon from the right, if you enable Chart Trader you can view any orders placed using the DOM. As long as the account and instrument are the same as the DOM then with Chart Trader enabled you will see order entries on the chart. Please see the following link.
