ATM tie to specific instruments

[ChasK]

Is it possible to tie an ATM to a specific instrument, for example an ATM to buy 2 contracts at market price but only works with ES & it only shows up with ES is selected?

Hello ChaseK,

Currently there is not an option to link an ATM Strategy to a specific instrument within NinjaTrader.

Got it. Thanks!

This feature suggestion, or similar, was requested in 2018 (SFT-2060), and I don't know status.

Different instruments require different Chart Trader /ATM Strategy configurations, and as NT8 functions now, Chart Trader /ATM Strategies apply to a chart window and all its tabs until manually changed, regardless of instrument, not to each different instrument separately. Ideally, the Chart Trader would have an ATM strategy selector to either Apply to Chart (applicable to all contained tabs - the existing functionality) or Apply to Instrument (separately applicable to each different instrument tab, and to all Instrument Linked tabs in other charts). Default ATM strategies could be assigned to each instrument in Chart Trader properties, or in Control Center > Tools > Options > Strategies.

So anyone interested in this, add your vote for SFT-2060.
