Message box inside Strategy

[JerryWar]

Can a Message box or some other technique be used to trigger manual events
inside an automated strategy such as a messge box to go long and one to go short so the strategy can then place the order and programatically handle the stops. If anyone has an example of doing something similar I would appreciate it.

Thanks

Hello JerryWar,

Thank you for your post.

There are some similar items out there, butnothing exactly as this.

The following is an interface used to submit orders, I expect the logic would be similar to check for a condition and then call out for user input/manual input to take the actual position or place the order.

thanks, I used that and created a strategy to call something similar to the SampleAtmStrategy. The problem I am having is in modifying the Stops on the fly for the Template. I am using AtmStrategyChangeStopTarget() but do not know what the "Name" is such as "STOP1" in the example.

Parameters limitPrice Order limit price
stopPrice Order stop price
orderName The order name such as "STOP1" or "TARGET2"
AtmStrategyId The unique identifier for the ATM strategy

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
AtmStrategyChangeStopTarget(0, SMA(10)[0], "STOP1", "AtmIdValue");
}

To make it slightly more complicated my ATM Template has 2 Stops and 2 Targets.
So even though I have the AtmStrategyId from using the GetAtmUniqueID I can not reference and change the template Stops. Is there some default value or is there a way to specify when your do the ATMStrategyCreate.

Thanks
Jerry

Ignore that last message "STOP1" and "STOP2" work. I had two issues one was hiding the other.

Thanks
