ATM (Advanced Trade Management) strategies are one of NinjaTrader 8's most powerful features. They let you define complex exit logic — multiple profit targets, trailing stops, and auto-breakeven — that executes automatically once your entry fills.

What Can ATM Strategies Do?

• Multi-Target Scaling: Split your position across 2-4 profit targets. Take 50% off at Target 1, let the rest run to Target 2 with a trailing stop
• Auto-Breakeven: Once price hits a defined level, your stop loss automatically moves to your entry price, making the trade risk-free
• Trailing Stops: Your stop follows price at a defined distance, locking in profits as the move develops
• Stop-Loss Offsets: Define your initial stop relative to your entry in points or ticks

Triggering ATM from TradingView

With NinjaView, you trigger a pre-saved ATM strategy template by name in your webhook payload:

{"alert":"atm strategy market buy","account":"Sim101","ticker":"NQ 06-26","qty":2,"strategy":"MyATM_Scalper"}

The strategy field must match the exact name of your saved ATM template in NinjaTrader.

Why ATM Beats Manual Exits

The biggest edge in automated trading isn't the entry — it's the exit. ATM strategies remove the emotional decision-making from exits and ensure your profit-taking and risk management rules are followed consistently, trade after trade.

Example: NQ Scalper ATM

A common NQ scalper ATM setup:

• Target 1: +10 points (50% of position)
• Target 2: +25 points (remaining 50%)
• Stop Loss: -15 points from entry
• Auto-Breakeven: After Target 1 fills
• Trailing Stop: 8-point trail on Target 2
