Hi, and congratulations on

Hi, and congratulations on being the first not-me person to use the forum :-)

But I think there is some confusion. Because I have no idea what the system.any directive is.

ATM is not connected to any other trading software. It doesn't translate your settings into code to be plugged in to some other trading package. Is that the misunderstanding, or am I way off?

Anyhoo, I've had it in my to-do list for a while to add this FAQ entry, and this question spurred me to action. So see if this answers your question: What is ATM's relationship to MetaTrader / TradeStation / NinjaTrader / Wealth-Lab / Other?

Thanks for your kind words

Thanks for your kind words there mantise, but I'd have to say that matshorics did a far better job of helping you out than I did :-) Hooray for user-power.

I just wanted to mention that all the documentation is now up-to-date. Those links that matshorics gave above will now forward automatically to the correct place.
