ATM Strategy Plus shows your ATM strategy orders directly on the chart. For every open ATM strategy it labels the stop loss and the take profit with the projected PnL (currency, points, ticks or percent), with the correct sign for both long and short positions (target positive, stop negative). It also paints a colored area between the entry and the stop (red) and between the entry and the target (green). Colors and opacity are configurable, and the area can start at the entry candle or extend to the left edge of the chart. The area disappears when the position closes.
Based on NinjaTrader's ATM Strategy Identifier.
Instructions for use & setup notes Installation: in the NinjaTrader Control Center go to Tools > Import > NinjaScript Add-On and select the downloaded .zip file. Then open a chart, right click > Indicators, and add "ATM Strategy Plus".
Usage: the indicator reads the ATM strategies of the account selected in Chart Trader, for the instrument of the chart. Place an order with an ATM strategy (stop loss and take profit) and the labels and the colored areas appear on their own. When the position closes, they disappear.
Settings: PnL display unit (currency, points, ticks, percent), font, brush collection (each ATM strategy rotates through the colors you add), colors and opacity of the stop and target areas, and where the area starts (entry candle or infinite to the left). "Diagnostics (Output)" prints extra information to the NinjaScript Output window and is off by default.
Notes: it only reads and draws, it never sends, changes or cancels orders. If you attach it while a position is already open, the exact entry time may be unknown, so with the "Entry candle" option the area is not drawn for that position; use "Infinite to the left" in that case. Tested on NinjaTrader 8 with futures (MNQ/NQ).
