Apply ATM and StopLoss to Existing Position via AddOn

[outcodenick]

Hello!

How can we apply an ATM Strategy to an existing position from an Addon?

Also how can we set a StopLoss for that same position?

We have an addon that is submitting orders and managing them via an Addon with a custom user window with specific settings not allowed in a Strategy. We need to be able to do the "apply ATM strategy" and "Set Stoploss" functions via the AddOn logic automatically (via code).

Thanks,

Hello Nick,

There is not a supported method to add an ATM to a position from NinjaScript after the position has been opened.

It is possible to submit an order with an Atm attached.

It would also be possible to create an Add-on that would submit a stop and limit order as a stop loss and profit target by either checking the account position after a button press or automatically from monitoring an account position update.

Chelsea,

Would the addon require a button to be pushed? Or could it submit the stop and limit orders automatically via the addon?

Hello outcodenick,

This could be automatic by monitoring the account position update, or could by button click. The choice is yours.
