Will a strategy entry cause an ATM strat to work?

[maxpi]

I want to run an automation strategy that enters on the first tick of a bar and after the order goes through I want an ATM strategy to put up the target and stops. Will an ATM do that or do they only work after a manual entry?

A NinjaScript strategy that initiates an ATM strategy will do that. See the SampleAtmStrategy script via Tools > Edit NinjaScript > Strategy for a reference.

Thanks. I'm having a bit of trouble sorting all this out...

The help file has a lot of information on how to use the various methods available too.

Look at anything that starts with AtmStrategy...() and GetAtmStrategy...() in the index of the Help Guide.
