Hello forextrader2003,

That feature is not available at this time.

I have submitted this as a feature request to the Development Team. I will follow up with an internal tracking number for your reference as soon as it is created.

Thanks in advance for your patience.

Hello forextrader2003,

I would like to clarify, Are you saying that you would like an order to be placed when your indicator alert goes off?

Or are you setting an alert based off an indicator and you want the action to be that it places a trade?

Is this a 3rd party indicator or a hardcoded NinjaTrader indicator?

I look forward to your response.

I would like an order to be placed when my indicator alert goes off and it is a 3rd party indicator.

Thx

Welcome to the forums Machado!

This is currently not possible with the Alerts system but we are tracking interest in this feature. I noticed a different ticket number was given out previously, so I have made sure all votes have been moved to the appropriate ticket. I have added a vote for you as well. Please note that the feature request ticket ID for attaching ATM strategies to orders in Alerts is SFT-1104. SFT-1986 is for using ATM strategies in the Strategy Builder.

If you have great interest in this feature, it could be provided with custom NinjaScript programming. If this interests you, we could have a representative of our EcoSystem reach out with information on NinjaScript Consultants who would be happy to write a script that accomplishes this at your request.

Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.

Hello BarefootHank,

If the desired entry for the ATM strategy is not too complex, you may consider entering your ATM strategy from an order attached to an indicator.

This is described in the ATM 301 webinar. Here is a link to part of one of the recorded webinars that demonstrates: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DH9y-j64X1U&t=2217s

If the automated entry is more complex it would require NinjaScript programming to be accomplished. In the meantime, I will add a vote to SFT-1986 on your behalf so your interest is tracked. This feature request tracks the ability to use the ATM strategy methods in the Strategy Builder so one does not have to manually program the NinjaScript strategy.

Hello,

Is it possible to assign an ATM strategy to a drawn object (like a trend line) once an alert triggers an order? There is no point on entering a trade without stops or targets in my view.
In my case Stops and targets will be determined in pips, don't know if this makes a difference.

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm exploring exactly this, right now, this evening.
I can't believe that there is not an option to link to an ATM strategy.
Has anyone made any progress in this without having to become a coder?

Thanks
