ATM strategies as a drop-down (variable) within a strategy

[slimcactus]

I am using AtmStrategyCreate() within a strategy to create orders. At present, I am hard-coding the ATM strategy names to be used with each instrument. It would be more elegant to have a variable within the strategy, populated with existing ATM strategies, so that I could choose from a list along with other variables in the Strategies window. Is this possible?

Hello slimcactus,

You can find a sample of creating a dropdown menu for ATM's in the following link. The later post in the thread has a example of how the FriendlyAtmConverter class would go inside of an indicator or strategy script.
