Automated Strategy

[ct]

I just wanted to confirm that if I am running a strategy I can't use the DOM to place manual orders. When a strategy is running it has control. Is this correct?

I wanted to access some of the functions a strategy but wanted to place my own orders and manually move my stops/targets.

You can run a strategy and trade manually at the same time provided that you do not interact with the orders generated by your strategy.

If you interact with strategy generated orders, the strategy will modify the order back to the price that the strategy says it should be.

If you want to have a strategy automated your entry and then manually manage your stops and targets, use the strategy to initiate an ATM strategy. Additional information can be found here - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...trategies.html

Thanks for the reply.

So if I want to have a strategy for no other reason than to access additional functions that an indicator can't I will be ok given the strategy will never place an order. Plus I can still have my existing indicators show on the chart.

Any other ramifications or issues on having a strategy that really doesn't place orders?
