I have a couple questions:
1) If I have an open position with a stop loss and target stop in place, and I want to move the stop loss, I left mouse click it, and then I get a hand icon (and I can move and place the stop), but if I change my mind and no longer want to move the stop (or if I forget whether it is the stop loss or target that was clicked), how can I make the hand icon go away without moving the stop?
2) If I want to trade ATM strategy 1 and ATM strategy 2 on the same product, but want to watch each strategy independent of the other, I can select in the "Properties" window's ATM Strategy selection mode field: "DisplaySelectedAtmStrategyOnly". But then when I try to submit an OCO stop entry above the market and below the market, I get an error message "You can't submit an exit order to a strategy until any of its entry orders has been filled." I don't understand why there's a problem, I'm just trying to place a buy stop above the market connected OCO to a sell stop below the market, and there's no problem doing this when I am in "KeepSelectedAtmStrategy.." mode, so what's going on?
3) Also when I goto the "Strategies" tab, it does not show me the difference in ATM strategy 1 and ATM strategy 2, it just lists all strategies as active or not, how can I see what each strategy is cumulatively doing? why does it not distinguish between different strategies and allow me better insight into which is working better?
4) Also when I then try to go to the "Account Performance" tab, it seems that when NT software renames certain ongoing strategies with new names e.g. Active ATM Strategy 21, then that changes the results such that I can analyze it as one strategy?
5) Also in "Account Performance", when I generate a report, and I go down to "Total # of trades", it does not give me the actual number of contracts traded. If I trading in 25 lots, and the Total # of trades" says 20, then does that mean that I had 500 contracts traded? or is a partial fill considered a trade, and therefore it's not a straight conversion? Please have the programmers add in some simple line that shows the total number of contracts traded (since that's way more important than the number of trades as you currently have it).
6) Can the Strategy Analyzer, show me comparative analysis of ATM strategy 1 and ATM strategy 2 that I run concurrently on the same product (in Sim101 account)? If so how do I set such up?
7) So that I can better observe ongoing profits and isolated reactions of 2 ATM strategies on one product, I'm thinking maybe that I can use a second computer and a free NT account, to test out these different strategies on same product without the crossover effect or no distinction in cumulative PnL on the fly. Can I use a second computer to sign on to NT with a free demo account (or does it not allow me to test ATM strategies on free account?) to do this?
Thank you for your time and assistance..
