Example of using AtmStrategyChangeEntryOrder()

[bobperez]

Hello,

I'm trying to use AtmStrategyChangeEntryOrder() to chase the market while a condition is true and a pending order is placed. I can't get it to work. Do you have a sample that shows how to use this method?

In the screenshot I want the sell stop order to change and be placed over the green diamonds until the order is filled.

Thanks.

Hello bobperez,

Thank you for your note.

I have created a sample strategy that is based on the SampleAtmStrategy that comes with NinjaTrader by default. I have added logic to the ChangeATMStrategySample that I created that will modify the entry order price by using AtmStrategyChangeEntryOrder()

                if (Close[0] > Close[1])
                {
                    AtmStrategyChangeEntryOrder(Close[0] - 10 * TickSize, 0, orderId);
                    Print("ATM Entry Order Changed");
                }
​

Here is the link to download the sample: ChangeATMStrategySample_NT8.zip

In this sample, the initial entry order with ATM strategy attached is placed at the Low[0] price minus 20 ticks. Next, once the entry order is pending it checks if the Close[0] > Close[1] and if so it will change the limit price to Close[0] minus 10 ticks. The entry will trail the price until the price comes down and fills the entry; I just wanted to use a condition that will show the entry order being modified multiple times before it is filled and triggers the ATM strategy with the template "AtmStrategyTemplate." You will need to save an ATM template with this name in order for the strategy to work properly.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance.
