EnterShortLimit
SetProfitTarget
SetStopLoss

Hello shildebrand324,

Thanks for your post.

Managed Approach order methods are only available in a NinjaScript strategy. You would not be able to use Managed Approach order methods in a NinjaScript indicator.

To place orders using an indicator you would need to access the Account class and use <Account>.CreateOrder() to create an order and <Account>.Submit() to submit the order.

See the help guide documentation below for more information.
Account class: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...ount_class.htm
CreateOrder: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...reateorder.htm
Submit: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...nt8/submit.htm

Let us know if we may assist further.

Thank you.

Is there an example using Submit with an ATM?

Hello shildebrand324,

Thanks for your note.

Atm Strategy methods are only available for use with NinjaScript strategies and could not be used in an indicator to submit orders with an Atm strategy template attached. This could be seen in the Strategy section of the help guide under Atm Strategy Methods.

To submit orders with an Atm strategy template applied, you would need to create a NinjaScript strategy instead of an indicator.

See this help guide about Atm Strategy Methods: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...gy_methods.htm

Also, see the SampleAtmStrategy script that comes default with NinjaTrader. You could view this script in a New > NinjaScript Editor window.

This may also be accomplished by creating an AddOn and using the AddOn Approach. See the example script made by my colleague Chelsea in the forum thread linked below.
