Modifying order sent with StartAtmStrategy

[pjsmith]

Hi,

I have a few goals here and wondering if someone could point me in the correct and proper direction!

I create and submit orders, like this

ordername = "Entry";
myOrder = myAccount.CreateOrder(myInstrument,OrderAction.Buy,OrderType.Limit,OrderEntry.Manual,TimeInForce.Gtc,defaultQTY,convertedPrice,0,"",ordername,Core.Globals.MaxDate,null);
NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.AtmStrategy.StartAtmStrategy(ATM, myOrder);

This gets me an order entered with the ATM I want.

Now, what I want to do, once that is filled, is have the following options

Add another contract/increase the position to the running ATM by buying/selling more
Move the exit and stop for the ATM
Sell part of the position of the ATM via a limit order

Thanks.

Hello pjsmith,

Thank you for the post.

The items you mentioned are not possible with NinjaScript. ATM's manage their own targets/quantities, if you want to add more or control the targets you would need to use the addon methods directly to submit and control the orders yourself. An ATM would need to have a pre defined targets which it then controls.



I look forward to being of further assistance.

Hi Jesse,

I'm not sure this response was entirely correct because I've managed to do it via Ninjascript just fine. It may be that this is an unsupported, or non recommended way to do it, but it seems to work.

For the benefit of anyone else trying to do this, I was able to loop through myAccount.Orders, examine each order item, and make appropriate changes with myAccount.Change just fine, even on running ATM's. I've been testing it and have not experienced any issues of yet.
