How to submit break-up/down bracket orders with ATM strategy

[3lliot]

I have an ATM strategy with stop loss & profit targets. I'd like to place two of these orders, ideally as SLM orders, one above & one below the current price, so if the market moves in ether direction the order gets filled & the stop / profit strategy is applied.

However when I try to do this - using OCO - I get the message "You can't submit an exit order to a strategy until any of its entry orders has been filled".

Is there an option I'm missing somewhere?

Hello,

Thank you for your post.

Glad to assist. Before submitting the second order, please use the ATM strategy menu to select the ATM Strategy template needed. This error indicates the active strategy (listed with a lightening bolt) is selected when the second order is submitted.

Let me know if you see the same after taking these steps.

Ah yes that works, thanks. I want to use the same stop loss & profit targets in each direction, so I was using the same strategy.

I don't understand what the solution was? I selected the template that did not have a lightning bolt and still it does not let me place the other side of the breakdown order when breakout order is already placed
