Programatically updating positions with ATM strategy active

[rokups]

Hi,
My indicator creates entry orders and attaches current selected ATM strategy like so:

var entryOrder = account.CreateOrder(instrument, OrderAction.Buy, OrderType.Market, OrderEntry.Manual, TimeInForce.Gtc, int.Parse(_quantityBox.Text), 0, 0, null, "Entry", DateTime.Today.AddDays(1), null);
var atm = ((NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.AtmStrategy)_atmBox.SelectedItem);
AtmStrategy.StartAtmStrategy(atm, entryOrder);​

Everything works as expected. Now when i execute same code again, i have two SL and two TP orders, ATM strategy adds separate SL and TP for each entry. Is it possible to somehow have ATM strategy update existing SL/TP orders once new entry order is executed and position quantity changed?

Thanks

You should be able to fix this by changing the settings in chart trader properties to increase quantity of preexisting order instead of summit new order for additional quantity

Hello rokups,

Thank you for your post.

Unfortunately, at this time there is no method to scale into an existing Atm.

As a workaround, after submitting the entry, you could then modify the quantity of the stop and target with <Account>.Change().

You can loop through the Orders collection to find the orders on the account.
