Hello mrsilv1 ,

Thank you for reaching out.

This error can occur when an existing order in an ATM Strategy is not yet filled, and a user attempts to place another entry order with the same instance of the ATM Strategy attached.

You can read more about this here:

https://support.ninjatrader.com/s/article/Cannot-submit-an-order-to-exit-a-strategy?language=en_US#:~:text=Explanation,of%20t he%20ATM%20Strategy%20attached.

Essentially the steps to avoid this error would be as follows:

• right-click within your order entry window and enable OCO
• select the desired ATM Strategy and place your first order
• Re-select the desired ATM Strategy and place your second order
• right-click and disable OCO

One thing that I would like to point out (it is a common mistake/misunderstanding) has to do with the "Active ATM Strategy" - it can get a little tricky.
Once you place your first order with an ATM Strategy selected, depending on your ATM Strategy Selection Mode, the dropdown list for ATM Strategies may automatically select the active strategy with a lightning bolt symbol to the left of the name.

*If you try to place a second order, you will receive an error message.

It is important that you select a template or custom strategy from the dropdown menu again so that it shows the name with the little 'i' for information to the left rather than the lightning bolt. For more information, I have included a link to the ATM 201 webinar with a timestamp for the section that goes over active ATM strategies:
