ATM Trade Strategies

  Hello

  Is it possible to build predefined exit strategies such as the ATM’s in Ninjatrader for futures?

  For example if I click buy at market it automatically sets my stop and multiple targets for example I buy 3 lots and it populates 1 target at say 10 ticks with an OCO stop 10 ticks away, a second target at 20 ticks with an OCO stop at 10 ticks and a third target at 30 ticks with an OCO stop at 10 ticks? The distances of which can be varied prior to entry?

   

  Thanks

   

  Joe

  You’d have to click 3 times and make adjustments to stops in between ticks, but still less than 10 seconds to execute all 3 trades.

  Re the OCO … if your target / TP is met and trade exited / closed then the stop / SL  linked to that trade would be cancelled automatically and so OCO is achieved?

  Yeah that’s too slow as I’m a high volume scalper, I just wondered whether that could be coded.
