ATM for CreateOrder and Submit

[llanqui]

In NT7 I could submit an order with the selected ATM using an OIF file....I see this is still available in NT8

However, there is a slight delay in placing the order with an OIF file and so I want to avoid this in NT8

The Submit works very well, but it does not have a parameter for ATM strategy

?????

How can I include an ATM name with the Submit()?

Thx

Hello llanqui,

You can use the StartAtmStrategy method with CreateOrder to start an ATM, you wouldn't use submit in that case.

Ok, will try that...thanks

[llanqui]

would this work to get the ATM Name for StartAtmStrategy?

string this_ATM = ChartControl.OwnerChart.ChartTrader.AtmStrategy.Na me;

--- Using Chart Trader values only ---

First you need the Chart Trader account,
Account acct = ChartControl.OwnerChart.ChartTrader.Account;

You'll also need the Chart Trader quantity,
int quantity = ChartControl.OwnerChart.ChartTrader.Quantity;

Now create your entry order, such as a Buy Market,
Order entryOrder = acct.CreateOrder(Instrument, OrderAction.Buy, OrderType.Market, TimeInForce.Day, quantity, 0, 0, "", "Entry", null);

Now bind the Chart Trader ATM strategy template name to your entry order,
NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.AtmStrategy.StartAtmStrate gy(ChartControl.OwnerChart.ChartTrader.AtmStrategy .Template, entryOrder);

Then submit your entry order,
acct.Submit(new[] { entryOrder });

Good reading (with full example from NT support) here.

Ok, how do I get the name of the ATM Strategy...would prefer to use that so I can also print it....???

[bltdavid]

Have you tried printing it?

[llanqui]

and...how can I tell if there is no ATM selected? In NT7 I tested for the string <None>

[bltdavid]

If that value is null, then no ATM is selected.

You'll need to experiment a little here.

I don't think it's documented very well, but I presume
whatever behavior you do discover, that behavior
will be consistent.

[llanqui]

yes, very little doc...will have to give it some time...thanks

[llanqui]

Ok, found what I was looking for

ChartControl.OwnerChart.ChartTrader.AtmStrategy.Di splayName

this can be used to test for <None>

and also works as the text override for StartAtmStrategy

will need to do more testing

[llanqui]

well, not sure if it is working right yet...

[llanqui]

yeah, it is working
