AtmStrategyId 'xxx' does not exist?

[caiyusa]

I tried to use GetAtmStrategyMarketPosition(strategyId) but it always gives me an error message like:

**NT** GetAtmStrategyMarketPosition() method error: AtmStrategyId '2556d53c464c4ddc8d7d126ff2573c04' does not exist

What causes the problem?
My code is very simple:

string strategyId = GetAtmStrategyUniqueId();
if(GetAtmStrategyMarketPosition(strategyId) == MarketPosition.Flat)
{
EnterLong();
}

Ironically, the code still runs, but the backtest result is different from using the following statement:

Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat

Hello caiyusa,

During the time the order is alive but hasn't filled, this error is returned if the Atm Strategy is checked (because it doesn't exist yet). After the order fills, this error will no longer occur as long as the Atm Strategy is now active.

Do you check that the entry is filled before checking the status of the Atm Strategy?

Also, Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat would not work. When using Atm Strategy commands the orders are not visible to the strategy. You would need to use GetAtmStrategyMarketPosition().
