ATM Strategy Orders

[mlprice12]

Is there a setting to achieve a hybrid version of "selective active ATM..." and "Keep selected ATM..."

I want to achieve 2 separate ideas:
1. I want to achieve a setting where the orders are visualized as separate like attached screen shot (Keep selected ATM) So they can be moved either individually or as the group.


AND

2. When orders are executed they automatically have the same stop loss (Select Active ATM)

Hello mlprice12,

Thank you very much for your post.

Unfortunately, it would not currently be possible to enable a hybrid model between both settings.

The only way I see to enable this would be to submit the Profit Targets at slightly different values. As all targets with the same value in an ATM strategy are then paired up, it would split the Profit Targets, but not the Stop Losses, e.g. by using these settings:



Once submitted, the three Profit Targets would then appear individually, while the Stop Losses would be combined:



Should you have any further questions in this regard, please don't hesitate to let me know!

Thanks Manfred.

Your example is how I have been trading. The problem arises when I add onto the trade. Because the next 3 contracts will all be placed on the same target and can’t be detached as desired.

Hello mlprice12,

Thank you very much for your reply.

The only way to submit an additional order that is not considered 'scaling in', would be to select the ATM strategy template, rather than the currently active strategy. This would then open a second strategy upon submission.

While this would create individual Profit Targets, it would unfortunately also create individual Stop Losses and would not merge these across the different strategies.

Outside of this, I'm not aware of a way to further adjust this behavior within the platform.

Should you have any further questions, don't hesitate to let me know!
