Enter two orders, close one independent of the other

[jpatri]

Hello,
This maybe obvious and I’m just in a blind spot:
I use the chart trader with two different ATM strategies. I place one order then click on the other strategy and place the second order. Now I have two orders running at very close to the same time with two different stops and targets. How do I close one of the orders without effecting the other?

Thanks,

Joe P.

Hello Joe,

Thank you for your inquiry.

To be able to achieve this, you'd wanna adjust the ATM Strategy Selection Mode to the 'Display Selected ATM Strategy Only' so that each position is managed separately from one another, virtually. Otherwise, selecting the 'Close' button will close both positions with market orders and cancel all of the Profit Target and Stop Losses. For example, in the video below, I changed my ATM Strategy Selection Mode to 'Display Selected ATM Strategy Only' with 2 different ATM Strategies running. This caused the system to virtually separate the positions so that I could manage them independently by selecting whichever associated ATM Strategy that I wanted to close out of from the ATM Strategy drop down.

Zachary,

t works perfectly. All I need to do is remember to reset the "ATM selection strategy mode" back to "select active ATM strategy ..." before I place the next set of orders.
Thank you!
