How to support scaling in and out when using CreateOrder with StartAtmStrategy

[Xiongl80]

Hello,

How do I continue using the same ATM bracket orders to support scaling in and out of a trade when I press my button below? Each time I press the button, it creates a new ATM bracket order rather than increasing the quantity to the existing ATM bracket. In my Chart Trader Properties menu, I have "Select active ATM strategy on order submission" selected.

if (button == stopMarketButton)
{

Order stopOrder = account.CreateOrder(Instrument, OrderAction.Buy, OrderType.StopMarket, OrderEntry.Manual, TimeInForce.Day, 1, 0, lastBarHigh, string.Empty, "Entry", Core.Globals.MaxDate, null);
account.Submit(new Order[] { stopOrder} );

// Submits entry order with the ATM strategy in " "
NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.AtmStrategy.StartAtmStrate gy("01_ES_Swing_020SL, 020PT", stopOrder);

}

Hello Xiongl80,

Unfortunately, there is not a known approach to scaling in when using Atm Strategy methods. Each call to StartAtmStrategy requires a new unique ID.

Further, the selection of any chart trader or superdom properties would not have any effect on ninjascripts. These would be completely separate.

I will be happy to add your vote to SFT-4410 for this to be considered.

Thanks Chelsea. Please add my vote.

Chelsea,

For the line:
NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.AtmStrategy.StartAtmStrate gy("01_ES_Swing_020SL, 020PT", stopOrder);

Is there a way to reference the currently selected ATM strategy in the Chart Trader rather than hard coding a specific strategy in the parenthesis?

Hello Xiongl80,

The atm selector control can found by the automationID ChartTraderControlATMStrategySelector in the WPF.
