ATM display SL & TP before order fill

[davidred]

Hi!

Apologies if this has been answered before but I've not been able to find an answer.

Is it possible for an order with an ATM strategy attached to display the SL & TP before the order is filled, and adjust those values? This is common enough in other brokerage platforms but I've not been able to find this in NT8.

Thanks in advance!

Hello davidred,

Thank you very much for your post.

At the current time, this would not be possible. As the Stop Loss and Profit Target depend on the price of the entry, the platform only sets them once the entry order fills.

We currently have a pending feature request with our Development Team in this regard that would enable a preview of where the exit orders would submit upon the projected fill of the entry order.

We are tracking interest in this feature under SFT-3700, I have added a vote to this request on your behalf.

When a feature request is implemented, you'll find a description of the new feature in the release notes:

Should you have any further questions in this regard or any other suggestions, please don't hesitate to let us know!

Hello, I would like to vote for SFT-3700 as well. Is there a timeline on implementing this? Thanks!

Hello fbolo,

Thank you for your post.

I would not have an ETA to offer at this time. As with all feature requests, interest is tracked before implementation is considered, so we cannot offer an ETA or promise of fulfillment. If implemented, it will be noted in the Release Notes page of the Help Guide.

Please add my vote to this feature request. NT seems to be so focused on strategies that it ignores what should be simple tools for manual order entry and management.

Yeah, this feature likely won't ever happen. Thinkorswim has had this since forever. I use Sierra for futures trading now. I could kick myself for plunking down $1k for Ninja "Trader". Such a waste of money. I wish I could get a refund on a lifetime license. Oh well, live and learn. It's just money, right?? Lol.

Is there an update to feature request SFT-3700? This would be a fantastic addition to NT8.

Hello chrislbonganilewis,

Thanks for your notes.

Your vote was added to this feature request.

Deciding on features for future releases is not a simple black and white decision. There are many factors involved including but not limited to:

• Demand which is measured by objective user requests and subjective discretion on the part of our Product Management team.
• Feasibility
• Developer bandwidth
• Current projects in the queue
• Economics

You'll find a note regarding your feature request in the release notes when a feature is implemented.

This is a very much required feature, because when I place a entry limit order with ATM and waiting for it to get filled, at this point the ATM in action will have a lightning sign and wont let me see the ATM parameters. So seeing the ATM stop and target would give me confidence. Please add my vote for this feature.
Also, what is the status of the deature request SFT-3700 ? Is there a way(link) for us to track the progess?
