ATM Strategy Order Modifications
ATM Strategy Multiple Targets Order Modification

Left Mouse Click | Modifies the lowest numbered Stop Loss or Profit Target order. |
Right Mouse Click | Modifies the second lowest numbered Stop Loss or Profit Target order. |
Right Mouse Click + CTRL Key | Modifies the third lowest numbered Stop Loss or Profit Target order. |
For example: if you attempt to modify the target or stop orders of a 3 target/stop ATM Strategy then:
“Target1” or “Stop1” would be moved using the left mouse button.
“Target2” or “Stop2” would be moved using the right mouse button.
“Target3” or “Stop3” would be moved using the right mouse button + the CTRL key.
Note. Stacked orders are moved together when the “Stacked orders adjust together” indicator property is turned on.
Move All ATM Strategy Stop or Target Orders
You can move all ATM Strategy stop or target orders managed on different order management lanes with a single middle mouse button click.
If you wish all your target orders to go to market you can hold the shift key, then click the middle mouse button below or above the current market depending on the direction of your trade. For example, if you have multiple long targets above the current market price you would hold the shift key over one of the order management lanes, while your cursor is above the market, then click the middle mouse button below the current bid. This will move all target orders to market.
Entry Order Modifications
Move All Entry Orders
You can move all entry orders managed on different order management lanes with a single middle mouse button click.
When clicking the middle mouse button on an entry order lane that rests below the last trade price, all below market entry orders move to the price that was clicked on. Doing the same using an entry order that rests above the market, results in all above market entry orders moving.
