ATM strategy second entry

[Douglee]

Hi I’m looking to build a simple atm strategy. I want the strategy to add a second entry when I enter a trade.

For example: I set a buy limit at 10500 on the NQ. once that order gets filled I want a second buy limit order 10 points back. That’s it, can anyone provide any advise thanks

Hello Douglee,

Your post is in the Strategy Development section of the forums.

Are you developing a NinjaScript Strategy and using Atm Strategy methods?

You can use GetAtmStrategyEntryOrderStatus() to find when the entry order fills. Once filled, you can use AtmStrategyCreate() to submit a second entry order.

Maybe I posted in the wrong section. I’m not sure if I need a ninja script add on if just a ATM strategy. I’m trading manually and what I explained above is everything involved in the strategy, simply put when ever I decide to put a trade on it puts a second one on 10 points back. Do I need a ninja script for this or can it be done by atm strategy? I do t know how to make a ninja script that’s why I ask, thanks

Hello Douglee,

If you are wanting to automate placing an entry this would need to be accomplished with a NinjaScript.

Below I am providing a link to a forum post with helpful information about getting started with NinjaScript.

Being able to recognize a manually placed order being filled would require using the Addon approach and monitoring the Account.
