i created strategy using the ATM strategy method. the goal is to
1. enter on market GBPUSD has tick size .00001
2. setup stop 100 pips away
3. setup profit 200 pips away

Hello junkone,

Thank you for your post.

As this pertains to ATM strategies, not NInjaScript Strategies, I have moved it to a more appropriate forum.

First, I note that you mention that you want to set the stop and target 100 pips away and 200 pips away respectively, but in your screenshot you have these set to 1000 pips and 2000 pips. Which is the intended distance?

I also note the log snippets you've posted seem to have changes submitted for the stop - does your ATM have any sort of trailing set up or was the stop manually moved?

Thanks in advance; I look forward to assisting you further.
