ATM Strategies

[MarketAlly]

Is there an option to use simulated orders for ATM Strategies? I would prefer to have targets that converted immediately to market orders but are not kept at the exchange; both stops and profit.

Also, when I enter, via the Market button, the ATM stacks on top even after I move the stops/targets. Is there a way to have it always enter according to the ATM values. It appears to work correctly if I place the entry with Limit orders.

Hello MarketAlly,

Thanks for the note.

Simulated stops will only be applied to manual buy/sell stop limits and stop market orders. So an ATM strategy will not use them.

On the second question, if you select the ATM strategy from the list again to make a new "Copy" of it, then place another order, the orders will not stack on top of an existing strategy. Make sure that the ATM name has an italic 'i' next to it before entering again.

Please let me know if I can assist further.

An option in the popup still would be nice - you have many other options in there.

Hello MarketAlly,

Thanks for your patience.

You can enable a simulated stop in your ATM by making a custom stop strategy, and enabling it under "Simulated Stop". See the attached GIF.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
