order issue and smartphone application

[jjanguda]

Hi,

I have a question about order.
Using ATM, I can put pre-configured targets and Stop Loss.
However, I can't do that with a manual order.

Let's say that I buy 5 contracts of ES using my own ATM setting.
After it hits both my 1st and 2nd targets, I still have 2 contracts remaining.
I think it will move higher so I want to put 2 targets for 1 contract each
which means that I need to place one more target profit by breaking 1 pending
target (2 contracts) into 2 pending targets (1 each).

If I change 2 Sell T3 to 1 Sell T3, it will automatically close one contract.

The one way I can do this is
cancel the remaining ATM target and stop loss
and put 2 separate sell limit (1 contract each) and sell stop for stop loss (2 contracts).

However, this setting requires monitoring until I cancel call orders.
In other words, if the price hits 1st target and reverses and hit loss,
the remaining buy position closes and new 1 sell order becomes active.

How do I connect Target and Stop Loss like ATM when they are placed manually?



And is there a way to see chart on smartphone?

Hello,

Thank you for your post.

1.) Because it is not possible to split a stop loss order you would need to cancel the existing Stop Loss and Profit Target order then place your protective orders again manually. If you have an open position without an ATM strategy, and you wish to add a limit and stop order to protect the position please follow these steps:

Set strategy in the strategy selection drop down box to a value of
Right click in the SuperDOM or Chart Trader and enable OCO order placement by selecting the menu "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
Then right click again and select the menu "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 canceled automatically.

2.) A mobile application for NinjaTrader is not currently available. This is something which our development team is looking in to creating in the future however. I will forward your support for this type of change to development for further consideration.

If other questions come up which I could assist with please let me know.

Hi,



And is there a way to see chart on smartphone?

What most of us use is TeamViewer or other such applications.

It's free for personal use, I'm not sure what the limits are.. I haven't hit any, but I'm mostly 10 minutes here or there during the day.

Thanks for the reply.

OCO order has a shortcut key, CTRL + Z

When I press CTRL + Z, cursor changes to magnifying glass
which allows me to select and draw a dotted line on the chart
to enlarge the selected area.

It has nothing to do with OCO order.

How do I use this shortcut key?

Hello,

Thanks for your reply.

This would be expected when the chart is selected, and not Chart Trader. To effectively use this Hot Key, please be sure to click on Chart Trader to select it before using the Hot Key.
