Oh, I actually figured it out, but never posted in this thread.
I posted a video of the
ATM strat working in another thread, but have deleted the video as someone told me I had some personal info in it.
I can make another video demo-ing the strategy, and post the code for it if it would help?
if you can DM me te video or YT link.
Can you help answer these questions from other members on futures io?

I no longer have the vid, its completely deleted from my YT and my PC. I'll have to re-record it when I get a chance.

Basic functionality in the script.
Might be a while before the HD version of the video renders?

Oh... I probably didn't explain well in the video.
But this strategy simple takes a starting price, and enters a grid of orders at that price and below.
Each orders has a fixed stop(I set them all to the same number), and a unique target. As a target is hit, that orders is REPLACED.
It does this until that lower level is hit.

Also.. in just thinking about it.. the example I created is WAY more complex than the basic example needs to be. I had some issues to work out with storing order names into the array... as that is how I created the order grid. I discussed that in THIS thread.
If you only need to do this with one order, or don't need a more complex grid of orders... THIS example may be the best to work with. It is how I built a basic functioning one the first time.

One other quirk I may have forgotten to mention, its been a while since I messed w/it.
But, for the ATM strat to work, I believe you have to have saved a ATM template, and it has to have the same name that I put into the script.
I named it "AtmStrategyTemplate".
So you need to create one using chart trader. Attached is a screenshot of the one I created.
When YOU create yours, you want to use that SAME name(or change it in the script to whatever you want to call it), and put your parameters in there. I used a a 50Tick stop and target, and I put a size of 10K in as I was testing on FX.
The stop/target.. The script will overwrite those values anyway once it places the order.
If you are using some other instrument, adjust your #s accordingly.
