Consolidated ATM Questions

[ThatManFromTexas]

1. I get this in the output window. What do I need to change?

GetAtmStrategyEntryOrderStatus() method error: Missing orderId parameter

string[] entryOrder = GetAtmStrategyEntryOrderStatus(orderId);

if (entryOrder.Length > 0)
    {
         Print("Average fill price is " + entryOrder[0].ToString());
         Print("Filled amount is " + entryOrder[1].ToString());
         Print("Current state is " + entryOrder[2].ToString());
    }

2. In the Sample ATM Strategy, what is the significance of Cbi.MarketPosition.Flat as opposed to MarketPosition.Flat?

if (atmStrategyId.Length > 0 && GetAtmStrategyMarketPosition(atmStrategyId) == Cbi.MarketPosition.Flat)
				atmStrategyId = string.Empty;

3. Is this the correct syntax?

string[,] Torders = GetAtmStrategyStopTargetOrderStatus("Target1", atmStrategyId);

4. Is this correct Syntax?

if(Torders[i, 2].ToString()=="Filled")

{
Print( "Target Worked");

}

string[,] Torders = GetAtmStrategyStopTargetOrderStatus("Target1", atmStrategyId);

if (Torders.Length > 0)
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < Torders.GetLength(0); i++)
         {
              Print("Filled amount is " + Torders[i, 1].ToString());
              Print("Current state is " + Torders[i, 2].ToString());
			
			if(Torders[i, 2].ToString()=="Filled")
			{
					Print( "Target Worked");
			
			}
			
         }
    }

You created three separate threads for help working with ATM strategies. Since it's all related to the same topic, can you please keep ATM questions in one thread for better continuity.

Thanks to Ryan_M

Ryan,
Your efforts were not in vain. With the information you provided I was able to finish my system and get everything working perfectly.

Attached is a pic of the trading platform I built for discretionary trading. I trade on range bars and needed a way to manually enter orders at the projected range bar close without hitting the wrong key or missing a trade because I was too slow and clumsy to work the keyboard like a video game.

I can now click on the buttons on the lower tool bar to place a stop order at the projected close of the range bar with just one click. If the value changes before the end of the bar, the system changes the order automatically for me. It also locks out the other keys until the system is flat so I don't inadvertently hit the wrong key or enter unintentional multiple orders.

Once I press the button, I can cancel at any time by hitting the same key again.

I put a mini data box in the top tool bar, so I don't have to look away to see the numbers.

The order info is displayed on the lower tool bar next to the buy/sell buttons.

I also did the screen gradient myself. It changes color in sync with the indicators I wrote.

... and they said you can't teach and old dog new tricks...


Thanks for your efforts.

TMFT
