Hi itrader46,

The GetAtmStrategyEntryOrderStatus method returns an array of three strings where the order is as such:

Print("Average fill price is " + entryOrder[0].ToString());
Print("Filled amount is " + entryOrder[1].ToString());
Print("Current state is " + entryOrder[2].ToString());

This will be a good time to Print out whatever status[0] status[1] and status[2] is in your script to make sure you're making the right comparisons. The Price series collection just happens to be arrays as well, and the way you access prior data would be to iterate through the indices, but that is not applicable here.

[itrader46]

Can you please tell me what these errors mean?

Long ATM Reset

Hi itrader46,

This error means you are accessing an ATM ID that doesn't exist in the system: GetAtmStrategyEntryOrderStatus' method error: Order ID 'ce5a...' does not exist.

Is seems like you're not using the most up to date ID for the ATM strategy. Can you confirm you are performing the ATM order submission similar to how it is done in the SampleATMStrategy code?

I'm struggling to do the condition of cancelling the order before execution, no matter how many variants I am doing

When I use the syntax below, from the help guide, I get the compiling error that || cannot be used with 'char' and 'string'

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
// ATM strategy methods only work during real-time
if (State != State.Realtime)
return;

string[] entryOrder = GetAtmStrategyEntryOrderStatus("orderId");

// checks if the entry order exists
// and the order state is not already cancelled/filled/rejected
if (entryOrder.Length > 0 && entryOrder[2] == "Working")
{
AtmStrategyCancelEntryOrder("orderId");
}
}

... while this (from Sample ATM strategy), doesn't reset the ATM id

else if (longAtmId.Length > 0 && isLongAtmStrategyCreated && (CONDITION) && (currentAsk <= stopPrice - CancelOffsetTicks * TickSize))
/*|| (longOrderId.Length != 0 && isLongAtmStrategyCreated && currentBid > stopPrice))*/
{
longAtmId = string.Empty;


... and neither do


AtmStrategyCancelEntryOrder(longOrderId);

OR

AtmStrategyClose(longAtmId);

[itrader46]

...And these are the error messages the system SampleAtmStrategy prints plus, just like I said, there are no Trace order prints, even when I copy the logic and add TraceOrders = true

Hello itrader46,

TraceOrders will only show information for orders that affect the NinjaScript Strategy. Atm Strategy method orders do not affect the strategy, or the strategy performance, or the strategy position, and do not trigger any order methods.
Think of these as the same as triggering a manual order.

First, what is the compile error message and what line is it on?
What is the code on that line?

Regarding the ID, what is the ID string you are supplying to the method GetAtmStrategyUnrealizedProfitLoss() call?

If you test the script included with NinjaTrader without making modifications are you able to reproduce the behavior?
Do you have an Atm Strategy template with the specific name 'AtmStrategyTemplate'?

[itrader46]

Hello

I've sorted out the compile error now, but I am still getting the following errors when using OnEachTick calculation mode.
This is a strategy I've adapted after the Sample Atm Strategy Reversal from NT User App Share and the original strategy prints the same errors when calculating on each tick, but when in On Bar Close, it doesn't print the errors.

I've downloaded the executions into an Excel format and looked for that order ID missing and true enough, it's not there, so what am I missing?

Is this even an issue, given that the strategy seems to run fine anyway?

Finally, in times of high volatility, it submits and cancels so many orders in such a quick succession, that most of the times it gets it wrong eventually.

Do I have the possibility to enter an additional timing filter on top of my pullback condition given by " ...&& LONG CONDITION FALSE && currentAsk <= stopPriceLong - CancelOffsetTicks * TickSize "?
Something like: if the triggering condition becomes false and the price pulled back X ticks and more than X seconds passed, then cancel the entry order?

Should I try using the OnOrderUpdate or OnExecutionUpdate, or these methods don't apply to orders triggered by ATM? I'm not quite sure of that.

Thank you

[NinjaTrader_ChrisL]

Hello itrader46, thanks for your reply.

That error is coming up just because the script is calculating on each tick. There is a certain amount of time between the ATM order creation and getting back to OnBarUpdate that causes the strategy to not recognize the order ID. The error won't affect anything about the strategy. The only way around that would be to use your own stop and target orders.

[itrader46]

I posted issues with two errors, so which are you referring to?
Also, what about my questions about the timing and OnOrder/ExecutionUpdate?

[NinjaTrader_ChrisL]

Hello itrader46, thanks for your reply.

I was replying to this issue here in my last post:

Order ID '97e93dd5cbe94cdbb27d8592c977b317' does not exist

For high volatility, you can either run some code on the bar close using IsFirstTickOfBar or you can add a low period SMA (2-4 period) to your condition and compare the current price and that SMA. That can reduce the number of times a condition is hit. Sorry, I didn't your questions about OnOrderUpdate/ExecutionUpdate. Those will not be applicable when using ATM strategies in your script. When the script submits an ATM order it executes a command for the NinjaTrader core to carry out. We have an example here that uses OnOrderUpdate/ExecutionUpdate to submit protective orders:

https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...and_onexec.htm

[itrader46]

Hello

I have a question about the floating point arithmetic: in the Sample On Order Update strategy is explained that rather than setting 4 ticks, we should be using (7 * (TickSize / 2)).

Can you please tell me why not (8 * (TickSize / 2)) and, more importantly, should I use the same method myself?

Would that have to be instead of " currentAsk <= stopPriceLong - CancelOffsetTicks * TickSize " something like " currentAsk <= stopPriceLong - ((CancelOffsetTicks + 1) * TickSize / 2) "?

In case (8 * (TickSize / 2)) would not be fine, than how would I need to rewrite my syntax in case CancelOffsetTicks = 3, 5... etc

[NinjaTrader_ChrisL]

Hello itrader46, thanks for your reply.

The code you posted is OK as long as 'y' in this formula is not returning a whole number: stopPriceLong - y. 'y' would be some calculation of ticks. They do this in the example because doubles can sometime return non-whole numbers. If you did not want to do this you can confirm that 'y' is a whole number by taking the floor or ceiling of that number. See these two pages on the floor and ceiling methods:
