View Full Version : Auto Trading and the Super DOM

I apologize if there is a thread with this topic, but I could not find it.

1. When I open a new position strategy using the order.txt OIF, it does not automatically appear on the SuperDOM. If I open a new SuperDOM window, and choose the strategy that I am using, then it will appear in the DOM. Is this normal? Is there a way to automatically have the strategy appear in an already open DOM window, without having to go through the above described process?

2. Somewhat related to the first question; if I enter a position strategy from the SuperDOM window, and have an autotrade program active at the same time which would issue orders under the same strategy position name, will any orders generated by the autotrade program be treated as scale in orders? If yes, will they automatically appear in the existing open SuperDOM window? Or do I need to do the process in #1 to be able to "see" them?

3. In the above example #2, if you have a strategy that uses 2 contracts, and say you have scaled out 1 contract, then an autotrade order to reverse is received, will it reverse to a full position of 2 contracts? or will it just reverse the 1 contract that was active at that moment?

Thanks in advance,

Mike

1) Right click in SuperDOM when AT is enabled, Automated Trading menu.

2) No, separate strategy

3) Reverse with 2 contracts.

Ray, thanks for those answers. Just one problem, it seems the Load Automated Strategy does not work for me....right click on SupDom, Automated Trading, Load Automated Strategy....and nothing happens. As before, if I open a new SuperDOM, and choose the appropriate strategy, then it will load.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

It only loads when a strategy is created. It does not load an existing strategy.

hmmerritt,

If you leave the "Load Position Strategy" checked within the supderdom the next new automated strategy sent to NT will open a new Superdom window once filled with the loaded position strategy profit targets and stops.

Ninjatrader can correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks Underground. I think that's the answer I was looking for.

Best regards to all.
