Tracking ATM orders in an Indicator

[llanqui]

Hello,

in OnOrderUpdate in an indicator.....

is there a way to know if the order (including profit targets, stops, trailing stops) are from an ATM?

(and not for example from a managed or unmanaged order?)

thx

Hello llanqui,

Thanks for your post.

You could consider tracking orders of an ATM Strategy from account level OrderUpdate events.

The first stop order submitted with an ATM Strategy will have an Order.Name of "Stop1". The second stop order submitted with an ATM Strategy will have an Order.Name of "Stop2", and so on. The first target order submitted with an ATM Strategy will have an Order.Name of "Target1". The second target order submitted with an ATM Strategy will have an Order.Name of "Target2" and so on.

See the help guide documentation below for more information.

While undocumented/unsupported, GetOwnerStrategy() can be used to retrieve an ID.

yes, would track with account onorderupdate

question: the trailing stops would also be Named "StopX"?

Hello llanqui,

Thanks for your notes.

This is correct. ATM Strategy stop losses that use an 'Auto Trail' option for trailing the stop loss will also have a name of "StopX" where "X" is the number of the stop order.

For example, "Stop1" for the first stop submitted, "Stop2" for the second stop submitted, and so on.

Hmmm...it appears that OrderEventArgs does not include Name????

My mistake...there is an Order.Name
