Use a variable for ATM Strategy template

[mlarocco]

I would like to be able to use a variable for the ATM Strategy template name but I cannot get it to work correctly. Below is the code I have in my strategy......

#region Variables
// Wizard generated variables
private string aTM_Template = @"StrategyAtm2"; // Default setting for ATM_Template


#region Properties
[Description("Enter the name of the ATM Strategy Template you wish to use")]
[GridCategory("ATM Strategy Template")]
public string ATM_Template
{
get { return aTM_Template; }
set { aTM_Template = value; }
}




{
atmStrategyId = GetAtmStrategyUniqueId();
orderId = GetAtmStrategyUniqueId();
AtmStrategyCreate(Cbi.OrderAction.Buy, OrderType.Market, 0, 0, TimeInForce.Day, orderId, "ATM_Template", atmStrategyId);


}

mlarocco, can you please clarify what exactly is not working? It would compile for you normally? And if you then enter the already setup ATM strategy template name in your user input, what would happen?

Thanks for your reply, I did get it figured out. I needed to remove the " " marks from around the ATM template name..... see below....

AtmStrategyCreate(Cbi.OrderAction.Buy, OrderType.Market, 0, 0, TimeInForce.Day, orderId, ATM_Template, atmStrategyId);
