ATM Strategy cancelling All Orders

[hector720]

I am trading manually using ATM strategy. However have the following issue.

When I am in a position, lets say LONG. I have a Profit Target and a Stop Loss.

However, Lets say that I want to go SHORT, at a price above my Profit Target (before this profit target is reached on the current Long position). I am then placing a Sell Limit (with the same ATM strategy as the Long Position).

However, when my Profit Target is Hit, all the orders are cancelled. The Stop Loss on the Original LONG trade (which makes sense). But also the SHORT LIMIT ENTRY order.

How can I avoid my "reversing" entry order being cancelled ?

Thanks

Hello Hector,

One of the great features of NinjaTrader is its ability to manage multiple virtual positions in the same market. This allows you to manage a long and short position in the same market simultaneously.

Here is how this is accomplished:

- Open 2 SuperDOMs and set them both to the same market
- Right click in on of the SuperDOMs and select the menu "Properties"
- Set the 'ATM Strategy selection mode' parameter to "DisplaySelectedAtmStrategyOnly"
- Repeat the last two instructions on the second SuperDOM
- Submit a buy order to open a long position in the first SuperDOM
- Submit a sell order to open a short position in the second SuperDOM

In addition to these instructions, I suggest reviewing the content available in our Online Help Guide specific to this topic at the link below.
