ATM Strategy hits target, stop order remaining and atm still active

[Mokaru Zen]

Hello Support,

I have my Strategy script call my Atm template. It is working, but when it hits target the stop is dangling, and I can see now three stop orders and three Atm are still active. There are three of them in the attached picture. I have no idea how to remove them too. When it hits stops, the target disappear and the Atm is removed. When price hits those stops, nothing happens.

Please let me know how to remove those stops and active ATM. And also how to avoid this from happening again.

Thanks.

Best Regards,

Mokaru Z.

Hello Support,

I now have 5 Stops dangling. I did "cancel all orders", it has no effect.

Thanks.

Hello Mokaru Zen,

Does the strategy have logic to prevent a new entry while a position is open?

The SampleAtmStrategy demonstrates this. When the orderId and atmStrategyId have a value no new entry is allowed. The values for these are removed when atm strategy position is flat, on line 93.

Use Print() to understand the behavior. Print all values in the condition set that submits the entry order. Include the time of the bar and include labels for all values.
Below is a link to a forum post that demonstrates using Print() to understand behavior.

The output can be saved to a text file by right-clicking the output window and selecting Save as.

I am happy to assist with analyzing the output from prints.

Hello Chelsea,

My strategy file is based on the SampleAtmStrategy but the logic is in my custom indicator, which will issue signal at the close of bar. The Atm first target is typically smaller than the next bar, the second target will not be hit within the close of next bar, when a new signal may be issued.

How can I keep 2 trades per signal and avoid the issue? I mean I would like to enter another 2 trades, while the second target has not been hit. What is the easiest way to resolve the issue?

I can actually release my strategy file, I did minimal changes from the sample.

Thank you.

Best regards,

Hello Mokaru Z,

If you plan to have two active Atm Strategies, you will need two sets of variables to track the Order Ids and Strategy Ids for these separately. You will need the logic to check each of the ids, separately.

If you want to submit a new entry after the first atm is active, you can check the position of the first atm by supplying the Strategy Id of that atm to GetAtmStrategyMarketPosition().

You can use Print() to understand which conditions are evaluating as true and when.

Hello Chelsea,

Thank you for the explanation. I will implement it some other day.

Can you tell me how to remove those 5 dangling orders? that will not do anything (will not get filled even when price touch them) and yet remaining on the chart as attached.
I have tried cancel all orders, no effect.

Thanks.

Hello Mokaru,

If these are Sim101 orders, reset the Sim101.

If these are live orders, disconnect from all connections and re-connect.

Are you able to reproduce this behavior when placing manual orders with Atm strategies attached?

Hello Chelsea,

I have reset my Sim101 account, all is well.

I am able to do manual entry with the ATM, and select inactive template for second entry and all works.

Each corresponding stop is cleared when target is hit.

Thank you.

Best Regards,
