'AtmStrategyChangeStopTarget' method error: Order name 'STOP1' is invalid

[fx.practic]

Hello.
I made my first ATM strategy.

This line:

AtmStrategyChangeStopTarget(0, Stop_Loss_Price, "STOP1", Atm_Strategy_Id); 

caused this error message in OutputWindow:
'AtmStrategyChangeStopTarget' method error: Order name 'STOP1' is invalid

Code was copied from SampleAtmStrategy.cs.
Need help.
Thank You.

Hello fx.practic,

Thank you for your note.

If you replace, "STOP1" with fx.practic "Stop1", do you no longer receive the error?

I look forward to your reply.

It's work.
Will it work same way on other systems if I will share strategy to some other peoples?

Hello fx.practic,

If the strategy runs correctly on your machine it should run correctly on any other machine, assuming all else being equal.

Please let us know if you need further assistance.

Can I change StopLoss and Target price in AtmStrategyCreate call back function, like this:

                        AtmStrategyCreate(OrderAction.Buy, OrderType.Market, 0, Sit_Long.Order_Price_Actual, TimeInForce.Day, Sit_Long.Atm_Order_Id, C.Atm_Slected_Name, Sit_Long.Atm_Strategy_Id, (atmCallbackErrorCode, atmCallBackId) => 
                        { 
                            //check that the atm strategy create did not result in error, and that the requested atm strategy matches the id in callback
                            if (atmCallbackErrorCode == ErrorCode.NoError && atmCallBackId == Sit_Long.Atm_Strategy_Id)
                            {                                
                                Sit_Long.Atm_Is_Created = true;
                                Sit_Long.Atm_Error_Code = atmCallbackErrorCode;
                                //Print( Sit_Long.Atm_Error_Code );
                                                            
                                double sl_price = GetCurrentBid() -TickSize;
                                for( int i = 0; i <= 2; i++ ) if( sl_price > Low[i] ) sl_price = Low[i];
                                Print( Time[0] +" ; "+   GetCurrentBid() +" ; "+ sl_price );
                        
                                AtmStrategyChangeStopTarget(0, sl_price, "Stop1", Sit_Long.Atm_Strategy_Id  );
                            }
                        }); 

This code giver error on both names: "STOP1" and "Stop1" (please, look at screenshot in attachment)

Hello fx.practic,

It may be that you are attempting to call the order before it is in a working state.

May I confirm the entry order has filled before this line is called?

[fx.practic]

I try to change stop ASAP after strategy successfully created.
I want strategy to work with Calculate.OnBarClose() - and wait for next bar to change stop is dangerous.

As for I understand, I have 2 ways:
1) to use Calculate.OnEachTick() (and to change stop on next tick after order filled
2) to use usual orders (SetStopLoss(), EnterLong())

Is it right?

[NinjaTrader_ChelseaB]

Hello fx.practic,

That would not be possible.

When the entry order is created, it hasn't filled yet and the stop loss and profit targets will not yet have been submitted.

You will need to wait until these orders exist to modify them.

If the initial settings are incorrect, you may need to create a new Atm Strategy template.


Yes, you can wait for the next tick and then check that the entry has filled and then check the state of those orders to be working and then modify them if you would like.

Or yes, you can choose to not use Atm Strategy methods and instead use methods internal to NinjaScript Strategies.
