Applying the current active ATM strategy to new orders (not template)

[samanruptrader]

Hi - Chart Trader buttons have a feature that whenever a new order is placed then the ATM strategy stop and targets that are applied to each new order are the same as that of the currently active ATM strategy for the active position. Please see the attached GIF to demonstrate what I am referring to. This is really helpful as it allows managing the full position. Please can you help me direct me toward the code which will help me select the active ATM strategy for the existing position?


I am trying to do the same for an indicator I am programming. It has chart buttons to submit new order and it uses the following code to apply the selected ATM strategy template to each new order. However, this creates multiple stops and targets for each new order unlike the Chart Trader method demonstrated in GIF.

My code below

NinjaTrader.Gui.NinjaScript.AtmStrategy.AtmStrategySelector atmSelector = (Window.GetWindow(ChartControl.Parent).FindFirst(" ChartTraderControlATMStrategySelector") as NinjaTrader.Gui.NinjaScript.AtmStrategy.AtmStrategySelector);

myOrder = account.CreateOrder(Instrument, OrderAction.Buy, OrderType.Limit, OrderEntry.Manual, TimeInForce.Gtc, myQuantity, Math.Min(Low[1], GetCurrentBid() - 1 * TickSize), 0, string.Empty, "Entry", DateTime.MaxValue, null);

if (atmSelector.SelectedAtmStrategy != null)

{
NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.AtmStrategy.StartAtmStrategy(atmSelector.SelectedAtmStrategy, myOrder);
}

Hello samanruptrader,

Unfortunately, there is not a method to scale into an existing Atm.

A request for this feature was submitted, tracked with ID # SFT-2522, and I will be happy to add your vote to that request.

In the meantime, you could submit the entry, and then modify the quantity of the stop and target with <Account>.Change().

This example below may provide some ideas on how to find orders by the atm strategy.
