Atm strategy alteration

[Bullywig]

I'm trying to run the atm strategy alongside a strategy I built. The stock ATM strategy only has a long condition. How can i have both the long and short condition within that strategy, or do I just need to employ a 3rd strategy specifically for shorts. I'm not ninja script fluent, so any help you can provide would be welcome.

Hello Bullywig,

Thanks for writing in.

ATM strategies are built with the flexibility to reverse the profit target and stop loss if the strategy is entered either long or short. You can observe this easily by opening a SuperDOM window, assigning your ATM strategy, and witness the behavior when entering sort or entering long.

If you are designing a strategy using the Strategy Builder you will have to specify each condition and order entry to suit your needs for each long entry or short entry.

If you would like to get more familiar with designing strategies without getting too involved with NinjaScript I suggest viewing the Strategy Wizard 301 webinar recording on our Youtube page. The content is just as relevant for using the Strategy Builder in NinjaTrader 8. I will provide a link below:
