Cross-trade instruments using the following manager module

Trading

  1. It would be nice to have the option to cross-trade instruments using the copy trade module. For instance, if I long ES in the parent account, the child account will long MES with lot size according to the set ratio in the module. Or, for instance, if I long ES in the parent account, then the child account will short NQ etc.

  2. This one may be impossible to program reliably, but it would be amazing. It would be extremely convenient to have the ability to alternate executions across multiple accounts. For instance, if I want to scale into 10 contracts across 10 accounts instead of concentrating all of that risk into one account. Every time I add contracts on the parent account, it will cycle those executions through each child account. The first contract long will execute in one account, then the next contract gets executed in the next account and so on. When I scale out, it will scale out in each account sequentially. If I add 5 contracts, it will spread those 5 contracts out across 5 accounts.

    Indispensable: I know several traders who don't want Atas because it lacks this function.

    Please see the way this is done in Sierra Chart in particular. It allows you to choose the trade symbol (which instrument is actually traded) and the chart symbol (what you are viewing) separately. It isn't necessary to go through the whole following manager modules to achieve this functionality -- for assets that have identical prices like the ES/MES or NQ/MNQ or CL/MCL, it is invaluable to chart one and execute on another.

    This should probably be a separate module, also related to spreads (again, c.f. Sierra's custom spread assets) where you can set ratios of up/down pairs for FX, bonds, even NQ/YM if you want, so as to create a natural hedge that only captures true delta/divergence between assets.

    If you want to beat Sierra in this area (and it'd get me to use ATAS as my sole platform), then also add a way to split orders such that I can execute 15 MES contracts and it will send orders for 1 ES and 5 MES, then display them together. I've not seen that functionality anywhere and it'd be really sexy.

    Great feature , cause usually is better read the Mini instruments, but trade de Micro by the margin available.

    This feature is a must have.

    I have to open a micro window just for trading.

    It is awkward to follow the price action, indicators and levels.

    imo, like the new Following Manager, this would be one of the best features.

    I want/need a symbol mapping option, but this feature request here is just that but even better.

    You could use this instruments-cross-trading feature to trade in your demo account, have your mini contract open for data and have your following accounts trade the micro contracts.

    That way, you can analyze the mini and trade the micro in the same chart.

    This is the last blockade that keeps me from switching over from Quantower to ATAS

      An idea as to how to configure it:

      Implement a new selection in the Following Manager.
      For each follower, you can add items to a new list.


      Those items contain:

      • A "target symbol", which is the traded upon symbol that is required for this condition to activate

      • A "replacement symbol", which is the actual symbol this trade will be redirected to

      Example:

      One of my items on my follower account is "ES@CME => MES@CME"

      Upon opening a position in my chart with the ES symbol loaded, the position will be opened for MES.

      If Any other symbol is opened in the chart, the position will be opened there as usual.

      Only if I open the ES symbol, this follower account will redirect it to the MES symbol. For all other markets, it won't perform any redirections. There will only be redirections for markets found in the target list for each follower account.

      That way, it's fully customizable, easy to configure and you aren't limited to only one symbol.
