Manual Entry and Automatic Exit?

[rcsingleton]

Hello,

Here is one for your wishlist.

I know you can call an ATM strategy from within a programmed strategy, but can you support the reverse?

When creating an ATM strategy, I want to be able to enter the name of a programmed strategy in the "Stop Strategy" field of the ATM strategy.

So when I enter the trade manually with that ATM strategy, the trade will be managed with the programmed strategy.

This would free ATM strategy developers from being restricted to just "autobreakeven" and "autotrail". We could call a programmed strategy to handle trade managment.

Thanks,
R. C.

Hi RC,

Thanks for the feedback. This is currently on our suggestion list with ID #294.

Unfortunately there is no support for this. NinjaScript strategies are automated for both entries and exits. They can't be applied to a manual entries for the purpose of automating the exit only.

You can use the unmanaged order entry system to programatically submit, change and cancel orders. It may be an option for you but you would have to also custom code any order management that would normally be taken care of by the managed order system. There's also no way to link the manual entry with it.
