simple atm

[mezameo]

Hi everyone,

I am at a loss when trying to apply a very simple trading strategy.

1)open 2 contracts,

2)1st contract hits target (variable each entry not the same amount of ticks every trade)

3) move stop to break even on trailer

How to set up an atm for #3???

Are you wanting to create a NinjaScript strategy or define an ATM strategy through one of our order entry windows?

When I enter at mkt manually I want to have #3 as a default.

Hello Mezameo,

Thank you for your post.

To do this you will use the Auto Breakeven feature. You will set a profit target for the first contract. Then on the second contract from the 'stop strategy --> Auto Breakeven' you will set your Profit trigger to the same value as the first contracts Profit Target and leave the 'plus:' field set to zero.

For more information on the Auto Breakeven feature please view our User Guide section here: http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/HelpGuideV6/AutoBreakeven.html

I would also recommend attending our ATM level 1 and ATM level 2 webinars. The webinars are always free and will cover this topic in detail. You can find a schedule of upcoming webinars here: http://www.ninjatrader.com/webnew/trading_online_events.htm
