Resources for building a custom automated order entry?
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.
