Forgot to enter my ATM, now what?

[peregrine]

What can I do to put a target in and stop loss?
I accidently forgot to scroll my ATM. I'm in green, but I need to leave and don't want to kill this trade, it could turn into a solid several day swing.

Hi peregrine,

Thanks for the post.

To add a profit target and stop loss to an open position with no strategy, please follow these steps:

• Set the ATM strategy in the ATM Strategy selection drop down box to a value of <None>
• Right click in the SuperDOM/Chart Trader and enable OCO order placement by selecting the menu name "OCO Order"
• Then place a limit order where you want to exit at a profit
• Then place a stop order where you want to exit at a loss
• Lastly, right click again and select the menu item "OCO Order" to disable the OCO order placement

Now you have a target and a stop placed protecting your open position, and when one of these orders is filled the other will be cancelled automatically.

Please see the OCO section of the link below for more information:

Do I do this last part if I want my OCO orders in. ?
Or is this if I want to cancel my orders that I just inputted?

Hi peregrine,

Thanks for the reply.

Disabling the OCO feature will not affect orders that you have already placed.

It is important to reset the OCO by disabling and re-enabling it after the completion of submitting an OCO order group; otherwise, you may run into problems where orders are rejected due to usage of duplicate OCO id values.
