Scaling in on ATM Strategy

[davewolfs]

Hey everyone,

I'm wondering how I could properly address this.

I have a strategy in place where

When I enter a strategy that is configure with a 8 tick stop loss and a break even after 5 ticks that I trade with two contracts. The first contract I scalp, the second I swing. Now sometimes I will want to scale in on a second contract while I already have one swinging.

Is there anyway to enter on a new strategy without my old strategy being modified? What I am seeing, is that the stop order from the first strategy will move up to the stop order from the second strategy when I put in my second scale in order for another scalp. Is there anyway to prevent this?

Thanks!

Hello davewolfs,

Thank you for your post.

You can accomplish this by right clicking in your SuperDOM and selecting properties. Change your "ATM Strategy Selection Mode" to "KeepSelectedATMStrategyOnOrderSubmission."

Perfect, is there an option to disable order confirmation? Or initiate an order through my chart?
