Autp trail runner on ATM strategy

[michelle99]

Hi there,

Is there anyway to setup an ATM strategy such that the runner can have a trailing stop come into place once price has exceeded a given amount of ticks from the entry price?

Thank-you
Michelle

Hello,
This is not possible with an ATM Strategy.
To achieve this you would need to use custom programming with an automated strategy. You would need to check when the price is greater than your entry price and then have it submit the order.
For example if you want it to submit the order after price has exceeded by 10 ticks

if(Position.GetProfitLoss(Close[0], PerformanceUnit.Points) == 10)
        SetTrailStop(CalculationMode.Mode, double value)
