Hello Daza,

Please use the following settings to set up your ATM strategy.

Order qty: 4

3 target ATM strategy

target 1:
Qty: 2
stop loss: 15
profit target: 5

target 2:
Qty: 1
stop loss: 15
profit target: 10

stop strategy/auto trail (1step):
stop loss: 15
frequency: 99 (that way it will occur only once)
profit trigger: 5

target 3:
Qty: 1

Hi Daza,

Initial ATM strategy set up:
Stop loss: 14; 14; 14
profit target: 10; 20 ;0

Can you please verify if my explanation of your strategy is correct.

As soon as you have 10 ticks in profit, you will sell two contracts, which will cancel the two stop losses of "1 target". So after the two contacts are filled you want the stop loss of "target 2 and 3" to move up by 17 ticks behind the market.

Target 2/ stop strategy:
Auto Trail (1 step):
Stop loss: 17
Frequency: 99
Profit trigger: 10

Target 3/ stop strategy:
Auto Trail (1 step):
Stop loss: 17
Frequency: 99
Profit trigger: 10



Then, after you have reached 20 ticks in profit, you will sell one contract, which leaves you with only the stop loss of "3 target". So you would like to modify this stop loss to breakeven.

Target 3/ stop strategy:
Auto breakeven:
Profit trigger: 20


If you would reach 30 ticks in profit you would like to have the stop loss 4 ticks behind the market.

Target 3/ stop strategy:
Auto Trail (2 step):
Stop loss:4
Frequency:10
Profit trigger:30
