How to add ATMStrategy to a automated trading?

[wagnerbro]

Hi Friends, I have few simple strategies that I would like to test, the have good entries but no trading management, so they enter and when they cross some parameter they reverse. I'd like to be able to give a order to the strategy to exit according to a pre set Atm management, like: Auto6E would have a first target of 10 ticks and a open second target with a trail.
How could I be able to override the targets from the auto strategy and create one for each market on the DOM, like: Auto6E, AutoCL, etc?

It would be much easier than assign different targets and stops for different markets and time frames in the strategy codes.

Thank you for help me.

Hello Wagner, thanks for the post here - would you entries come from an automated strategy as well or would they be done manually? ATM strategies could be called from automated NinjaScript strategies, but then the entry has to come from the script to mechanical rules as well. You could check into the 'SampleAtmStrategy' we install per default with NinjaTrader, it would show the usage of those features.

Hi Bertrand, the entries would also be automated, the idea is to be able to have automated and fast entries and be able to pre determinate targets and stops through ATM Strategy, and also change them manually after it enters for discretionary exits.

I saw a strategy that does that, but I don't like the way it enters but the fact that we can manage targets and stops after it is on the trade is an excellent idea.

I need to know how to link the ATM set ups from the DOM to the auto strategies I create.

Thank you.

Hi wagnerbro,

Have you checked out the sample Bertrand mentioned for this? Click Tools > Edit NinjaScript > Strategy > Select SampleAtmStrategy and open. Pretty much all the structure in this sample is required. You can make modifications by Right clicking in the editor > Save as > Provide a new name. Documentation for this is available here:
