Question about AtmStrategyCreate

[devatechnologies]

Hello,

I'm developing a strategy that uses multi-time frames and multi-data series.

I know that you can reference the barsInProgressIndex when submitting an order. As seen below:

EnterLong(int barsInProgressIndex, int quantity, string signalName)

Are you able to reference barsInProgress index when submitting an order using AtmStrategyCreate()? I don't see it on the reference page.

AtmStrategyCreate(OrderAction action, OrderType orderType, double limitPrice, double stopPrice, TimeInForce timeInForce, string orderId, string strategyTemplateName, string atmStrategyId, Action<Cbi.ErrorCode, string> callback)

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Hello devatechnologies,

Thank you for your post.

There is no barsInProgress parameter, however, you can use a BarsInProgress condition to submit the orders to an additional bars object.

I tested this by making a copy of SampleAtmStrategy, adding an additional series in the strategy, and then putting the existing code in a BarsInProgress condition.

//value of 1 represents the additional series added in State.Configure 
if (BarsInProgress == 1)
{
//logic for submitting and handling atm goes here
}

Please let us know if you have any further questions.
