ATM orders conflicting

[velocity7180c]

Not sure if my post went through so I'll do it again. Sorry

I run a little strategy that I enable when my set up conditions are right. If my entry signal forms within 5 bars the strategy enters a market order on the open of the next bar and auto disables so I can manage the ATM settings manually. Also, if no signal bar forms after 5 bars the strategy auto disables. Often I may be short a position and the setup enters a long before I am stopped out on the short position with my manually trailed stop.


Here is my question: I would greatly prefer there be no interaction between these 2 orders. No averaging of entries. I just want my stop from the previous order to be left alone and the new order should have its entry, stop and targets independently of the prior order. In other words, I do not want the 2 separate trades to "talk" to each other at all. Is this possible in NT7??

I hope this is a matter of some settings in Chart Trader, but my experience tells me sometimes things are not as easy and straight forward as we would like.

Thanks for your input.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the post and welcome to the NT forums. It sounds like you're looking for this setting, you can access from the ChartTrader right click > Properties screen
ATM Strategy Selection Mode

Keep Selected ATM Strategy Template on Order Submission
This mode will keep the currently selected ATM Strategy template selected in the strategy control list upon order submission.

You can do this manually as well, by changing the atm selection from *Active - AtmStrategyName to just the AtmStrategyName in-between placing orders.
