Can you use an ATM in an Automated Strategy?

[ckodad]

I am new to programming but was wondering if it's possible to set up an automated strategy that will enter when your criteria are met but have it enter at one of your pre set ATM strategies. i.e. once criteria are met and I enter, have it enter 2 contracts in CL with stop losses, profit targets and trailing stops based upon what I have set up in one of my ATM stratgies. I appreciate your feedback.

Welcome to our forums - yes, that would be possible, although this approach could not be backtested.

A fully working example of this concept is preinstalled with every Ninjatrader, just look for the SampleATMStrategy script please, it could be reviewed in our NinjaScript editor and used as starting place for more complex custom scripts of course.
