eSignal / NT Change Target Size Issue

[TaoNhan]

Greetings,

I am using an ATM strategy of say 1 contract, stop 10, target 6, going Long. Upon entering the trade I have placed a NTBuyLimit Order for another contract to double position. However, the problem is that when that second contract enters the market, the target size does not increase to the total number of contracts. I notice that however, that target size adjsuts properly if I place my Buy Limit order by hand in the DOM. I have tried to specify the Strategy in the Buy Limit order, but then I get another limit 6 ticks above, following that ATM strategy. I think i should use the NTChange command but i could not figure out the proper synthax to adjust TARGET1, can anyone help or show me a sample code involving TARGET1?

Thank you in advance, Tao-Nhan

Hi Tao-Nhan,

You will need to use NTCommand() and submit an order and specify the user defined strategy id used with the entry order to create the ATM position. Ensure that you *DON'T* pass in the strategy template name on your scale in order, only the id value.
