ATM Strategy - TIF Day/GTC

[ryebank]

Hi,

Can you tell my why my ATM strategie(s) keep changing TIF from GTC to Day.

Is this an additional bug that I will have to correct on a daily basis.....for all the charts i use?

Hello ryebank,

Unfortunately this setting cannot be saved. You will need to set it manually to Gtc each new session.

So, I have a situation now where my orders have been cancelled because after restarting NT during the day I've forgot to amended my ATM strategy (for the 10,000th time) to GTC as opposed to DAY. How do i recreate these orders on an active position?

If you have an open position without any stop loss or profit target orders protecting it you can easily add these exit orders.

Please see a post in our support forum at the link below that outlines how to accomplish protecting an open position.

Does this work for 2/3 profit targets with 1 stop loss which is amended if some of the profit targets are hit?

Unfortunately not, you cannot setup an AutoBreakeven or AutoTrail stop strategy for manually submitted orders. You would need to manually modify the order.

And that's why NT is crap. There are so many dumb features that are either useless or don't work.
