Chart trader - add positions

[tonynt]

Hello,

when adding to a current position from chart trader another position it seems that the target and stop of the added position is not the tickvalue from chart-trader-atm, instead its putting the stop and target of the new trade to same price of stop and target that is currently shown from the prior, initial position. What has to be done for having a new entry with its proper stops and targets please?

Thank you!
Tony

Hi Tony, thanks for your post.

If an order is submitted with an old active ATM the stop and target will be added to the old stop and target (at the old price). You must select the ATM template again (change from a lightning bolt to an i) before submitting the order to get the stop and target to submit independently of the old order.

Best regards,

Hello,

when I have 2 charts, both with chart trader enabled but selected different atm, eg chart #1 with atm1 Target1 15 ticks and Target2 20 ticks and chart #2 with atm2 and Target1 5 ticks and Target2 15 ticks (the question is not if this makes sense...its about how the atm will work and where targets will be), and there is a trade from atm1, then there is the entry from chart2 with atm2 shouldnt then be targets of atm2 from what is set in the atm or will it be same as targets from atm1?

Thank you!
Tony

Hi Tony, thanks for your reply.

It all depends on the ATM strategy you have selected. If you submit ATM template 1 on chart 1 and ATM template 2 on chart 2 then these will be independent of each other. Expand the ATM list to view the active atm templates at any time you have an open position with an ATM attached.

Hello Chris,

I am having trouble getting 2 separate bracket orders at different prices based on the instructions above. Can you please post a short video to demonstrate how its done? While the Stop loss and target appear as separate trades, the order entry bars are merged ( Averaged out?)

Thanks in advance.

Hello j4trdr,

This is Jim responding on behalf of Chris who is out of the office at this time.

Creating a bracketed entry is demonstrated in our ATM 301 video.

The process would be:

1. Press Ctrl + Z to start OCO submission mode
2. Select the first ATM strategy template for the first order
3. Place the order
4. Select a new ATM strategy template
5. Place the second order
6. Press Ctrl + Z again to close OCO mode.
