Creating ATM Template

Here’s how to set up a basic 1 Stop/1 Target ATM Strategy and save it as a template:

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Open your ChartTrader or SuperDOM

2. Select <Custom> from the ATM Strategy control list.

1. Define Parameters:

• Stop Loss: Set at 10 ticks.

• Profit Target: Set at 20 ticks.

1. Save as Template: Name the template (e.g., “20 Tick Target”) and press "Save".

This ATM Strategy will now automatically submit:

• A Stop Loss order 10 ticks from the entry.

• A Profit Target order 20 ticks from the entry.

Once saved, the template becomes available in all order entry windows.
