Bug in ATM strategy settings

[pjsmith]

Hi,

Just fyi - On ltest version 19.1 (but on earlier versions too), there appears to be a bug. If saving an ATM strategy, the 'chase if touch option', even though you disable it in the settings, always comes back. Also, even though you save it with the same name, atm selector often shows 'custom' after. Go back, and chase if touch is enabled again. Only way I got rid of it is to set the flag to 'false' in the xml file. After that, it's stayed off. I finally did this today, after having the problem for a _long_ time.

Hello pjsmith,

Thank you for writing in.

I did some initial testing on my platform and was able to replicate this behavior in version 8.0.19.1.
Here are the steps I took:

• Created a new ATM Strategy with the Chase if touch option selected
• Placed a simulation trade for this strategy, then closed it
• Selected "edit" next to my ATM Strategy to edit it
• Disabled Chase if touch
• Clicked "Save as Template" and overwrote my previous template
• Clicked OK

The platform did not respect my new template and reverted to Custom as you suggested. Furthermore, when I went back to my strategy that I had certainly saved it reverted to including "Chase if touched."

I repeated this process on the Chart Trader and SuperDOM and experienced the same on both. Additionally, when I do the exact same process but change a different feature, such as the Stop Loss limit or adding a reverse at stop, the platform respects my changes.

I am going to bring this up with our development team for further analysis; are there any steps or details you feel that I left out?

I will respond back here when I have further information.

Thank you for your patience.
