How to use ATM Strategy with Strategy Builder?

[MatthewLesko]

I'm testing a simple Strategy in strategy builder and while I can get it to enter long, I am not sure how to tell it to use an ATM where I have 2 contracts with different stops.

Hello MatthewLesko,

Calling an Atm Strategy instead of using NinjaScript Strategy stop losses and trailing stops uses a separate advanced set of methods and cannot be setup with the Strategy Builder.

The Strategy must be programmed manually in the NinjaScript Editor using Atm Strategy methods.

When using Atm Strategy Methods the Atm strategy is basically send to the core to be handled. It is then completely abandon by the strategy, other than the id that can be used to retrieve the state.
Orders placed through Atm Strategy methods do not affect the Strategy Position and do not affect the StrategyPerformance.
Think of these as manually placed orders that are not part of the strategy, but still are able to have the entry automated with logic.

Below are links to the help guide on Atm Strategy Methods.

Included with NInjaTrader is a strategy named SampleAtmStrategy which demonstrates.

In the Straetgy Builder, it would be necessary to use Exit orders and control the prices of these with logic.
Below is a link to examples.
