Can You Name an ATM Used by an Automated Strategy Anything You Want?

[outstretchedarm]

hello all, and thanks in advance for any help.

I have been experimenting with using the SampleATM strategy that comes with NT.

However, there is a comment in the code that says

"**** YOU MUST HAVE AN ATM STRATEGY TEMPLATE NAMED 'AtmStrategyTemplate' CREATED IN NINJATRADER (SUPERDOM FOR EXAMPLE) FOR THIS TO WORK ****"

Does this mean that only an ATM strategy specifically named 'AtmStrategyTemplate' will work?

Or does this mean that if you change around the code for using an ATM, replacing ' 'AtmStrategyTemplate' with 'DivergenceATM' it will also work?

I'd like to be able to name the ATM's that get used by automated strategies whatever I want. That would make it easier to pick apart which strategies are being used by which ATM's they employ.

Hello outstretchedarm,
Any atm template will work. Just make sure a template with that same name is present.

Thus if you have a atm template named DivergenceATM the just change the name to it.

Thus the code will look like

AtmStrategyCreate(Cbi.OrderAction.Buy, OrderType.Limit, Low[0], 0, TimeInForce.Day, orderId, [B]"DivergenceATM"[/B], atmStrategyId);
