ATM Strategy in Automated Strategy

[outstretchedarm]

for example, I've changed lines 71 to say:

			if ((orderId.Length == 0 && atmStrategyId.Length == 0 && Close[0] > Open[0])
				&& (EMA(4)[0] > EMA(19)[0]))

I've added this condition of one ema being over another. However, this strategy does not trade.

Where does one input more lines of code to add conditions to the existing sampleATM strategy?

You can put these checks in a number of areas.

Your statement is going to wait until all of those conditions are satisfied and it may be difficult to debug what condition is not returning true.

To work around that, you can put the condition checks in separate blocks and add Print statements to the beginning of the blocks. This will help you identify exactly what part of the code is not true, and you can debug from there.

for example:

				// checks your data condition
				if(Close[0] > Open[0] && EMA(4)[0] > EMA(19)[0])
				{
					Print("Condition is true");
					
					//checks ATM Strategy is empty
					if (orderId.Length == 0 && atmStrategyId.Length == 0)
                                        {
						Print("ATM Strategy is empty");
					
						//rest of ATM logic goes here
					}
				}

In this example, when the strategy is running, you can check the Tools--> Output Window and if your data condition is true, you should get "Condition is true" printed. If that is true, it will run through the rest of the logic and check your ATM Strategy. Once you're sure the logic is sound, you can remove these debug prints.
