2 orders in opposite directions

[Balthazar]

Hi guys,

Could please someone tell me how can I open 2 orders in opposite directions in the same time? Is there any set up on the DOM or something else?

Thanks for help

Hello Balthazar,

Unfortunately this is not supported. You cannot submit a buy and sell order simultaneously upon trading discretionary.

However you can 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 or 2 Charts (with Chart Trader) and set them both to the same market.
- Right click in on of the order entry windows and select the menu 'Properties'.
- Set the 'ATM Strategy selection mode' parameter to 'DisplaySelectedAtmStrategyOnly'.
- Repeat the last two instructions on the second order entry window.
- Submit a buy order to open a long position in the first order entry window.
- Submit a sell order to open a short position in the second order entry window.

I have provided a link below to our Help Guide that goes over ATM strategy selection mode.
