Expose strategy template or ATM from a manually entered order

[luxurious_04]

Is there a way to expose programmatically the strategy template or ATM from a manually entered order?

Hello,

Thank you for your post.

If you have an open position and you wish to add a limit and stop order to protect the position please follow these steps:

• In the ATM Strategy drop down menu, set it to a value of "none"
• Right click in the SuperDOM or Chart Trader and enable OCO order placement by selecting the menu "OCO Order"
• Then place a limit order where you want to exit at a profit
• Then place a stop order where you want to exit at a loss
• Then right click again and select the menu "OCO Order" to disable the OCO order placement
• Now you have a target and a stop placed protecting your open position, and when one of these orders is filled the other will be canceled automatically.

To add an ATM strategy to an unprotected open position, please follow the steps below.

• Select the Positions tab of the Control Center.
• Right click on the position.
• Select Apply ATM Strategy and then select the desired ATM.
• Now your position will have ATM applied to it.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance.

I want to get the "Strategy Template" name, the encircle in red. I tried using foreach(Orders order in Account.Orders) but there's no option order.GetStrategyTemplate and order.Name doesn't work either. I just want to know if that entry is came from specific strategy template in the chart trader.

Hi ...
I guess you need to use OnOrderUpdate to detect all orders issued...
something like this
private void OnOrderUpdate(object sender, OrderEventArgs e)

But I would prefer to have a way to check that from the current active orders...

I want to detect or get the order from a specific atm strategy template by code. I am entering the order manually using the chart trader with an ATM Strategy template. Now I want to check the trade I have entered using that ATM Strategy template. In the attached image I encircle the "SampleATM2-1", that is what I want to get by code. I am coding it on the indicator, not on strategy.

foreach(Order order in Account.Orders)
{

}

doesn't give that option. I can only get the name, instrument, quantity, average price, etc., but what I want is the ATM Strategy template that I used in the chart trader when I took the order.

Hello luxurious_04,

You could loop through the Account.Orders collection, or you can subscribe to account level OrderUpdates to capture the Order updates of an ATM strategy.

Intercepting and modifying ATM strategy orders would go beyond the level of support that we would offer, but I do have a rough example that can give some further direction for identifying ATM strategy orders from account level OrderUpdate events. This example is attached to give you some further direction.

Could this be evoked programmically from a custom button in ChartTrader?

Hello EminiTrader,

There is not a supported means to apply an ATM strategy to an open position programmatically and having the user actions automated would also be outside of what we can support and give direction for.

I may suggest creating a NinjaScript strategy that uses Adopt Account Position for this purpose. I have attached an example here.
