ATM trade's markers on the chart

[webus]

Hi,

I'm using ATM in my Strategy. However, I do not see the related text markers on the Strategy's chart. The related parameters are enabled.. I see the markers on another chart, but not on the Strategy's chart. How can I solve the issue?

Hello webus,

Thank you for your post.

This is an expected behavior and there is a note about it on the following help guide page about using ATM strategies in NinjaScript:

• "Executions resulting from an ATM Strategy that is created from within a NinjaScript automated strategy will not plot on a chart during real-time operation"
  • https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...strategies.htm

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

Thanks! But.. Probably I don't understand something. But what is the purpose of such decision? Why do I see these labels in other windows, but not in the window where they are actually most needed? What's the point? Seems pointless.
Is there a way around this?

The reason this happens is that when a NinjaScript strategy is enabled on a chart, only executions from the NinjaScript strategy are plotted on the chart. When it comes to ATM strategy executions, they do not have an impact on the hosting NinjaScript strategy position or PnL. The strategy does not have visibility into the executions via the regular NinjaScript strategy methods or performance tracking.

As a workaround, I ran a simple test and added the same data series to a chart twice and put them both onto the same panel. The strategy may be enabled on one data series and the other will plot the executions from the ATM strategies within the NinjaScript strategy. Here is a quick video demonstration:
