ATM Strategy Position Sizing

[Elynt]

Hello,

When coding an ATM strategy for automatic entries and manual exits, is it possible to adjust position sizing within the strategy code itself or must all sizing be done through the ATM interface (such as chart trader or the superdom)?

If sizing is always done through the ATM interface, does adjusting the number of contracts on the ATM strategy template guarantee that the next automatic entry by the strategy will match the position size on the strategy template? I seem to be getting inconsistent results, even when I save the template before starting the strategy.

Hello,

Thank you for the questions.

The ATM properties you see in the ATM strategy its self would need to be changed directly from the ATM strategy, unfortunately there are not many supported methods for this process, all of which are supported you can find here: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...gy_methods.htm

Regarding your statement on inconsistent results, are you seeing different fills and results based on market movement or are you not seeing the different ATM strategy being used?

In general the strategy is basically doing what you would upon submitting the order or is just picking X template that you specify to place the order with. If the template is saved it should be up to date when called upon, can you provide more detail on the results you are seeing different regarding what item is not changing with the new template?

I look forward to being of further assistance.
