How do i catch a falling market with an automated order if i want to short and conversely how do i catch a rising market with an automated order if i want long?

Your help would be much appreciated if this is possible

Hi Ryan,

Much appreciated for the reply.

Not sure if i explained myself properly though! What i wanted to know is what order type do i place if i want to go short under a falling market, to catch a falling market and vice versa to take a long position to catch a rising market? Not certain Ninja allows me to do this?

Hi Rento,

I see - my reply was for a completely different topic. Thanks for the follow-up.

Yes, you can place these orders in the Superdom, as either stop or stop / limit.

StopLimit Orders are submitted with middle mouse button (Scroll wheel)
StopMarket orders are submitted by holding Control + middle mouse button.

If you have an ATM strategy predefined, the ATM submits your target and stop loss orders once the entry order is filled.

This link here can help with order submission on the Superdom:
