Breakeven ATM strategy with Hot Keys

[michi08]

Hi,


I need some guidance with this one.


In the Hot Key window under Order entry there are a possibility to set a Hot Key for "Breakeven ATM strategy".


How and where I need to write this strategy and where to I copy that strategy in, so that the Hot Key will work?


Thanks for any help,
Michael

Hello michi08,

Thanks for your post.

This hot key is for having an active Atm strategy move its stop loss to the breakeven point. The hotkey will need to be assigned in the Hot Keys window and then order entry hot keys will need to be enabled in the Tools > Options menu of the Control Center under Trading.

Capturing key presses in a NinjaScript strategy would involve writing your own logic to detect key presses and then to move your stop loss to the breakeven point. We do not offer any out-of-box NinjaScript code to capture key presses, so you will have to create your own implementation. You may reference the conversion and the exmaple below for some direction on capturing keys and also to modify your stop loss.

I know it's an old post but I have a question.
I have a hot key for Breakeven ATM Strategy and my trade is entered using an ATM with a Stop Strategy that includes a breakeven with a 5 tick cushion. I am expecting that when I hit the hot key I will get break even plus 5 ticks, like the BE in the ATM. but I just get a straight up BE. Which is no different than the garden variety Breakeven in the Hot keys.
What am I missing?

Hello Denver_Wayne,

The Breakeven ATM strategy hotkey only moves the stop to the position average price and cannot have an offset.
There is not an option for adding an offset with the hotkey.
Further, any breakeven stop strategy behavior would be separate from this.

[Denver_Wayne]

So how is that different from the hotkey "Breakeven Position"?

Hello Denver_Wayne,

Breakeven ATM moves the stop for the ATM on the active window.
Breakeven position moves any stop for any position, not just for ATMs.
