ATM stop loss failure

[Antny]

I have been trying to setup a very simple ATM strategy for a futures instrument (CL specifically). Obviously I can't get it to function correctly. I have tried this in BOTH the superDOM and charttrader. It does the same thing in both. I have not been able to find any settings to change this problem either.

The problem-- When I attempt to setup a custom ATM strategy, the values I enter in the 'Stop loss' and 'Profit target' fields is used as a literal price, instead of number of ticks away from the order. Everywhere I have looked it says both of those fields should be a number of ticks away from the entry average price. In my ATM, it is a literal p[rice. How do I fix this?

Thanks for the assistance in advance!

And...just to be completely clear....when I said the ATM is using the 'Stop loss' and 'Profit target' values as literal prices. I mean it is placing my stoploss at the price 15.00, and the target at 15.00....instead of (assuming avg entry at 54.00 for a buy) stoploss at 53.85 and target at 54.15.

Hello Antny,
Can you please clarify if you are using NinjaTrader 7 or 8?

Nevermind...I finally figured out where the issue was. It is basically recognized as a footnote in the help files.
