Multiple ATM trades

[shazzmoe]

I have DisplayActiveAtmStrategyOnly enabled. I could have sworn I've placed multiple atm orders before without problem. However recently I tried to place 2 atm strategies and the following occurred.

1. Both strategies had 1 stop and 1 target
2. One strategy was a sell order placed several points above where the market was trading, and the other was a sell order placed several points below the market. (LMT and STP MRK respectively) Each one had a 4 pt stop and target.
3. However when one of them got filled (I think it was the higher sell LMT) it canceled the other order AND canceled the ATMs stop and target.
4. I was short with no exits.

Do you know why this may have happened?

Hello Shazzmoe,

Did you do this using two separate DOM displays? This is what the "display" selection mode is designed for. If you want to place multiple ATM stratgies using the same DOM and want to keep them separate, then the "KeepSelected" mode is for this.

Please see here for more information on AtmStrategySelectionMode and let us know if this doesn't explain what you're seeing:
