Trying to create basic entry with TP and stop with Ninjascript

[firefoxforum12]

Hi,

I've made both managed and unmanaged orders, gone through the docs for how to create an ATM strategy in Ninjascript (not possible it appears) and I am struggling to simply achieve creating an ATM strategy in code and then using it.

I don't want to use an existing one from the ATM Strategy drop down.

This exists but it strangely does not do what its name says, it seems to still rely on an existing ATM strategy, hence not helpful: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...tegycreate.htm

Thanks

Hello firefoxforum12,

To use an ATM from NinjaScript requires that you make a template beforehand. Template creation is a manual process that is done through the user interface. Once you create templates you can use ATMStrategyCreate from a strategy to launch an ATM with that template name.

To otherwise have a strategy do similar tasks to an ATM but be dynamic would require using the managed or unmanaged approach and defining logic to do those tasks.

Hello, thanks.

Two questions:

1. Regarding ATM Templates, can I edit the stop and TP of the "Template" via code and then execute it?

2. So there is No way to create a brand new ATM strategy (i.e. new ATM strategy drop down option) via code?

Hello firefoxforum12,

There is not a way to edit or create templates from code, there is no exposed api for that. You can change the price of targets after they are working, you can see the available NinjaScript methods for working with atms here:
