ATM resets to "None" by itself

[cassb]

Scenario: I place a trade in a sim account with a selected ATM strategy. The trade is closed. I place another stop order on the same chart and the order is filled, but there is no ATM strategy managing it. How can the ATM strategy be changed to "none" by itself? I do trade more than one instrument on the same chart - switching between them to place stop orders. Could that cause the ATM to reset to None? I do not change the ATM strategy or even click on it when I switch instruments, but somehow it's getting reset to None. It's really annoying.

Thanks!

Hello cassb,

Thank you for your post.

This may be designed behavior when switching instruments depending on the settings you are using.

Can you please right click on Chart Trader--> select "Properties"--> tell me what you have the "Strategy Selection Mode" set to.

I look forward to assisting you further.

Hi Matthew. Long time no see. :-) That setting is set to "SelectActiveAtmStrategyOnOrderSubmission". What should it be if I want the ATM strategy to not change even if I switch instruments or data series?

Thanks!

cassb,

That would be intended using that setting. Please change this to "KeepSelectedAtmStrategyOnOrderSubmission" and you should see the ATM Strategy template retained when switching between instruments from the same chart.

Please let me know if you need further assistance.

OK I'll try it, thanks buddy.
