What do you mean by template ?

An example.

basicly it works like this :

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if (Historical)
return;

// Check for valid condition and create an ATM Strategy
if (Close[0] > SMA(20)[0])
AtmStrategyCreate(Action.Buy, OrderType.Market, 0, 0,
TimeInForce.Day, GetAtmStrategyUniqueId(), "MyTemplate",
GetAtmStrategyUniqueId());
}

and MyTemplate == the name of your created + saved ATM-strategy.
The strategy enters + starts this ATM for Targets+TS+Exit+Stops

you will find more infos here :

hmm - dont know if we are talking about the same subject here ...
ATMs are the automated exit-styles - you can define them ie in the chart-trader : ATMStrategys.
You create them with your variables like Lot-size+Stops+targets .... + save them with specific a name
MyTemplate in this case is an example of a name of one ATM you have created yet and that includes all variables you have putted in.
it can also be named as EUROT3 or however.
if your strategy now enters a trade, it enters with this predefined ATM you have choosen in your strategy (ie EUROT3 or MyTemplate)
Then it is like it is - you dont need more variables - its all in the ATM.

Let me know if i dont understand you right.

Should be a strategy in your NT samples titled:
"SampleAtmStrategy"

otherwise, you should be able to find it in the NT forums.

I am trying to include an ATM template in a strategy, however it does not open the orders as per the ATM strategy. Can anybody correct the code?

I have defined ATM Strategy Tempate as a string in a variable and included in properties.

privatestring aTMStrategyTemplate = @"";

and then this code to call an ATM strategy

if (Historical)
return;

// Check for valid condition and create an ATM Strategy
if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Long)
AtmStrategyCreate(OrderAction.Buy, OrderType.Market, 0, 0,
TimeInForce.Day, GetAtmStrategyUniqueId(), "ATMStrategyTemplate",
GetAtmStrategyUniqueId());

if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Short)
AtmStrategyCreate(OrderAction.Sell, OrderType.Market, 0, 0,
TimeInForce.Day, GetAtmStrategyUniqueId(), "ATMStrategyTemplate",
GetAtmStrategyUniqueId())

Here is a picture with d9 particle oscillator strategy.

I searched through the ninjatrader support forum and found a template to include an ATM strategy in a ninjatrader strategy.

1.Select the code under variables, OnBarUpdate and properties sections into the main ninjatrader strategy.

2.Make 2 separate ATM strategies for buy and sell orders in superDOM with the names matching those in a strategy.

3.The orders opened by ther main strategies can now be managed manually by openeing a separate chart of the same instrument and linking that chart and superDOM. The chart trader is disabled on a chart running a strategy.

Here is the zip file for the sample ATM strategy.

hi, quick question to all

so i'm working with the ''sampleatmstrategy' sample that comes with NT.

i also created an atm strategy on chart trader.

now its time to test to see if it works. but during my test something strange is happening (by design i think).

my orders are being clearly submitted on the order tab in NT. but my orders are not displayed on the chart.

is there a way to get a similar view that chart trader gives you when using atm strategies with your custom trading strategy?

also my realized/unrealized gains for the strategy are not being shown on the strategy tab. nor is my equity changing.
