ATM Automated vs. User Initiated Actions

[neo302]

Hello,

With an existing running ATM strategy, is it possible via code to detect if an order action such as changing an order price, cancelling an order, etc. was done by the ATM logic itself or the user changing the order via the UI?

Thank you!

Hello neo302,

That would not be possible. If a NinjaScript strategy uses the specific ATM methods it can submit an ATM and then observe it for its status but it would not know if the status changes due to the atm logic or manual changes to the orders. ATM strategies are self contained and do not provide much information to external strategies.

OK. Thanks Jesse. It would be great to have something simple like "User" vs "System" in some field in the future.
