ATM strategy with stop and no target

[sean606]

I have set up an ATM strategy with no target. I thought I would be able to manually exit. When I attempt to do so I get the message "you cannot submit exit order to strategy until all entry orders has been filled".

The mode I am in is selectactiveATMstrategy. After I enter order my ATM strategy stop enters the market. Then I attempted to manually enter target. When I manually attempt to enter target is when error occurs.


Any help would be appreciated

ATM Strategies (Discrentionary Trading)

Hello Sean,

If you have an open position without a strategy, you need to add a limit and stop order to protect the position.

- Set strategy to <none>
- Right click in the DOM and enable OCO order
- Then place a limit order where you want to exit at a profit
- Then place a stop order where you want to exit at a loss
- Then right click again and disable OCO order

Let me know if this works for you.
