Default Multiple Limit Orders in a single ATM Strategy Order?

Hi,

I wonder if it is possible to include multiple limit orders in a single ATM strategy order. What I want to perform is:

limit buy 1 lot at (current price-10 ticks)
limit buy 1 lot at (current price-20 ticks)
stop sell 1 lot at (current price-40 ticks)
stop sell 1 lot at (current price-50 ticks)

It is easy to perform this by placing "two" different limit orders with the same strategy (e.g., place 1st limit buy at (current price-10 ticks) with stop loss of 30 ticks + 2nd limit buy at (current price-20 ticks) with stop loss of 30 ticks). The question is if it is possible to cram these two orders in "one" ATM order. In other words, is there any way to make a ATM strategy order that can perform multiple entrances (two limit buys)?

The ATM strategy function allows to select up to three pairs of profit targets + stop losses (which means flexibility in "closing" the open positions), but does not seem to allow multiple "entrances" (which means no flexibility for entrance). Am I right?

Thanks,

Acapulco

Hi Acapulco,

Unfortunately, this is not possible using an ATM strategy. However, you should be able to create such as strategy upon creating an automated strategy using NinjaScript. More information can be found in the links below.
