Add Target method

[martyn73]

Is there a NinjaScript method that executes the function of adding a target to an active atm strategy, just like you can do on the SuperDOM? (+Target / -Target functionality) I would like to execute this from an indicator on my chart. Thanks.

Hi martyn73, thanks for your post.

The template for the ATM defines the targets an ATM will have. One would need to change the ATM strategy template to do this. After an ATM entry order is created with ATMStrategyCreate you can use any of the management methods on this page:

This can certainly be done with stop and target orders/entry orders generated by the strategy itself. There is an example on making an ATM-like strategy here:

Chris, trying to wrap my brain around what you are trying to say here. When I look at any of the Atm Strategy methods I don't see how I could "split" a target into two replicating the +Target functionality. For example using AtmStrategyChangeStopTarget() I can only move an entire lot. Since I can't specify the quantity, I can not move a portion of that lot. Which would simulate the split functionality. Are you saying this is just not possible? How is it done from the SuperDom, is there a NinjaScript method?

Regarding your second comment, I understand this could be done when not using Atm Strategies, and create my own Atm-like version. But I want to apply this functionality to Atm Strategies only. Really just replicating what you can do on the SuperDOM, but providing that option on the chart.

Hi martyn73, thanks for your reply.

There are no methods to change a certain target through ATM strategy management functions. The Account class has many order management methods, so this will be the best tool to use for order entry from an indicator.
