ATM generating incorrect profit target

[traderji]

I have the Ninjatrader for Interactive Brokers live license. I plan to use this for Forex trading on IB. Interactive Brokers uses halfpips for Forex and that is setup in Ninjatrader->Options->Data.

While test trading $EURUSD on the Sim01 account, I set the ATM Strategy to custom with the following parameters

1 Target
Qty: 0.5M
Stop Loss: 10
Profit Target: 10
Stop Strategy was set to <None>



So assuming Stop Loss & Profit Target @ 10, if I buy $EURUSD at 1.38580 then the ATM should insert

Stop Loss at 1.38530 &
Profit Target at 1.38630


However what happened is

Stop Loss at 1.38530 (Correct)
Profit Target at 1.38650 (Incorrect. Off by 4 ticks)


I tested it again with a short position. Sold $EURUSD at 1.38565, ATM generated

Stop Loss at 1.3861.5 (Correct)
Profit Target at 1.38495 (Incorrect. Off by 4 ticks)


It seems that the ATM is generating profit targets at 14 ticks instead of 10 ticks as configured.

I can see the log.xxxx files but I can't see any trace files. How do I turn tracing on?

You can find trace files at (My) Documents-->NinjaTrader 6.5-->trace folder.

Also, what setting do you have enabled for 'Quote currencies (FX) in' at Control Center-->Tools-->Options-->Misc-tab. Make sure it is set to HalfPip with IB.

Subsequently if you enter values of 10 for your ATM orders, they will be submitted 5 pips above and below your entry price.
