stop strategy problem

[donho]

setup is 2 contracts 1 profit target =8 ticks other 16 ticks with stop loss at 12 ticks. a stop strategy is set at profit trigger = 8 ticks plus = 1 tick. This set up should move the stop to entry + 1 tick when 1st profit target is reached. This works most of the time but I noticed that when doing a rerun that if the 1st target level is touched by the price bar but the contract is not sold/bought the stop is moved anyway. This is not what I expected as now you have 1 stop of 12 ticks and 1 at entry +1 tick. Is this the way it is supposed to work?
I did find a work around by setting the profit trigger to 9 ticks thus being sure that the target is sold/bought. This does however move the stop 1 tick later than desired.

donho, can you please post a screenshot of the setting you're using for your ATM strategy?

Hi Don,

Thanks for providing that image.

Keep in mind that NinjaTrader ATM and Stop Strategies operate off of price values. Unfortunately, there's not a method by which to configure a strategy to make modifications only when a fill occurs. Rather, those stop strategies will make their modifications immediately upon the price being reached.

What you're looking for would be possible through a fully automated NinjaScript strategy, but custom programming would be required. If you are not a programmer, any of the NinjaScript consultants listed at the following link could code this project for you: http://www.ninjatrader.com/webnew/partners_onlinetrading_NinjaScript.htm
