The AgenaTrader++ plusplus entries category allows you to edit the general Entry Escorts settings.
| Setting | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Fixed Tick Distance | Sets distance in ticks from the calculated entry price to the actual order. Calculated entry prices are usually highs/lows of the periods. To avoid spoofing at these points the order will be placed n ticks away from the entry price. |
| Distance on ATR | Allows you to smooth distances in tick size e.g. between cheap stocks and Futures or Forex. As a result, a tick calculation will be performed based on the ATR(20). |
| Distance ATR Factor | Refers to the ATR factor used for the size calculation based on the ATR. 0.10 means that the distance in ticks will be set to 1/10th of the current ATR value. If a value is also entered in the Fixed Tick Distance cell, the distance will be measured based on the maximum of both values. |
| Synthetic-Orders on MinStop Distance | Allows you to place synthetic orders on the market. By enabling this you avoid problems with CFD brokers (e.g.: FXCM / XTB) if you are not able to place the entry as close in the market as you would like due to restrictions on the broker's pages. |
| Auto Cancel invalid Orders | Automatically removes the order at the end of the period if a candlestick breaches the initial stop and the entry order is not executed. The order will also be deleted if the validity note after n periods passes and the order is not executed. You will receive the following information in the Protocol tab: "Due to your settings in the ConfigurationEscort/Entries/AutoCancelOrder, the order for instrument "xxx" was canceled". If you enter "0" for the option "Check validity of order after N Bars" then this functionality will not be activated. |
| Recalculate Order Size on Entry Order | If the order bar of the entry order is moved after it was created the order size is recalculated if necessary. |
| Show Counter Signals | Informs you of counter signals while your trade is running (functionality of AgenaTrader++). For example, if you are positioned long with the JoJo signal, then you will be informed of counter signals (not only for JoJo but also RubberBand etc.) in the message box in the Order Escort via the blinking status bar of the AgenaTrader. |
| Show Initial Risk Violation Popup | If activated the "Initial Risk Violation Popup" will appear when the initial risk was increased. |
| Throw strategy alerts | If active, the AT++ strategy will send email and mobile notification every time signal appears. |
| Check Validity of Order after N Bars | Displays number of bars (n) after which you will receive a note in the log tab if the entry order has not been executed or if the initial stop has been breached. If you enter “0” then you will not receive these notes. Please note! Proposal Orders will be automatically deleted if the close price (=periods end) breaches the stop price. |
