Attach Custom ATM to a trade in progress

[tyogi]

Hi, i am trying to attach a custom ATM to a trade already in progress and the take profit and stop loss are not showing correct compared to the trade price. but when i place a trade from chart trader then the profit target and stop loss are correct. i am using currency Type with $100 as take profit and $100 as stop loss.
example: in the attachment correct... NQ - trade price is 14401.75, take profit is 14406.75, 14396.75 which is correct
example: in the attachment wrong... NQ - trade price is 14396.00, take profit is 14391.00, 14401.75 which is wrong because i am expecting profit target and stop loss at $100
if this is the expected behavior then is there a script or other method to achieve what i wanted above as have the Stop loss and profit target set based on the ATM for the trade already in progrss.
Thanks a lot!

Hello tyogi,

Thank you for your post.

Please note that when applying an ATM Strategy to an open position the current market price will be used as the 'Entry' price as described in the link below:

• Applying an ATM Strategy Template to a Position

If you wish to use your original entry price you may manually place the Profit Target and Stop Loss orders using the method described in the link below:
