Order Quantities Assigned to Targets

[sgordet]

I use an ATM strategy with two targets. Sometimes I want to change the quantities assigned to each target.e,g., I might enter with 4 contracts assigned to each target and, after the orders trigger, want to change the near target to 5 contracts and the far target to 3 contracts.

Is there an easy way to do this?

Hello sgordet,

The easiest way to accomplish this is by directly modifying the quantity for one of the involved orders.

With how ATM strategies create connected orders, this would then automatically 'balance out' the remaining quantity and adjust the other orders.

In the example below I've created an ATM that placed a 3-quantity stop-loss and profit-target at 20 ticks and additional 2-quantity orders at 30 ticks each.

If you then click on the marked number a small modification window will appear that lets you modify the quantity directly.

Once this is confirmed, the quantity of both, the connected profit target and stop-loss as well as the other target then adjust to fill back up to the same quantity.



Please let me know should you have any questions about this!

Thanks for taking the time to supply the images and being so explicit in your reply.
This covers it, but I was wondering if there's also a way to accomplish this from the SuperDom.

Thanks again,
Stephen

Hello sgordet,

Absolutely! To do this on the SuperDOM simply click the quantity next to each order. You will then receive the same modification window letting you quickly switch the quantities around:
