When I apply an ATM strategy to my position with right button click (for example, a trail stop), can I activate only a part of the total position for execution? For example, I have long 5 contracts, but I want to activate the strategy only for 2 contracts, and leave the rest alone ..? Is it possible? By default, stop trails all my 5 contracts and cannot be reduced to 2 contracts only for example...

Apply an ATM strategy to a part of the position
Hi NT team!
When I apply an ATM strategy to my position with right button click (for example, a trail stop), can I activate only a part of the total position for execution? For example, I have long 5 contracts, but I want to activate the strategy only for 2 contracts, and leave the rest alone ..? Is it possible? By default, stop trails all my 5 contracts and cannot be reduced to 2 contracts only for example...Tags: None

Hello Aporshnev,
Unfortunately this is not supported. When you add an ATM strategy to an existing position in the Control Center-->Positions-tab (by right clicking the position), it will submit ATM orders for the same quantity as the position. Even if you select an ATM strategy template that was saved with a certain order quantity.
You could submit OCO orders manually for the order quantity you like instead. Please see the instructions below.- In the ATM Strategy drop down menu, choose "none"
- Right click in the SuperDOM or Chart Trader and enable OCO by selecting "OCO Order"
- Set the order quantity as you like and place a limit order where you want to exit at a profit
- Set the order quantity as you like and place a stop order where you want to exit at a loss
- Then right click again and select "OCO Order" to disable the OCO order placement.
Let me know if this will not work for you.
