Issue implementing ATM in a strategy

[Jeddy197]

This is my first time trying to add an ATM to a strategy, and I'm running into the issue that the strategy isn't taking any trades. Before I added the ATM, I just used a regular market entry and stop loss on the condition builder, and it would take trades.

I created the ATM template, and I believe I added it to the strategy. Anyways, here's the relevant section of the code:


protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if (Historical)
return;

// Condition set 1
if (Force_Index_v02("EMA", 13, "EMA", 13).FastLine[0] > Force_Index_v02("EMA", 13, "EMA", 13).FastLine[1]
&& EMA_Slope_Color(20, true)[0] > EMA_Slope_Color(20, true)[1]
&& EMA(5)[0] > EMA(5)[1]
&& EMA(5)[0] > EMA(5)[2]
&& Median[0] <= EMA(5)[0]
&& High[0] > EMA_Slope_Color(20, true)[0]
&& CrossAbove(EMA(5), EMA_Slope_Color(20, true), 5)
&& Force_Index_v02("EMA", 13, "EMA", 13).FastLineAbove[0] > 0)
{
AtmStrategyCreate(OrderAction.Buy, OrderType.Market, 0, 0,
TimeInForce.Day, GetAtmStrategyUniqueId(), "PERATM",
GetAtmStrategyUniqueId());
}
}



Note: PERATM is the name of the ATM template.

Hello Jeddy197, how are you determining that the entry condition fired on realtime data? With this setup you would not see any backesting / historical trades, as the ATM methods could not offer that.
Also: do you see any errors in the log tab running the script live?

For a complete working example of a NinjaScript ATM please check into the SampleAtmStrategy shipped with NT.
