Default Enter Manual Exit Auto

Hi All
Is it possible to enter a position manualy, using a dome or from the Control Center, then exit it using a strategy. Iv'e tried it in sym, but never get an exit.
Apologies, as I'm sure this has come up before but I can't find anything on it.

Good Trading.
Dave

Dave, unfortunately this is not supported - you could use our ATM feature for an automated exit of your manual position entry - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...verview13.html

Thanks Bertrand.
I was hoping to exit when price closed above or below an MA. Will try to automate the entry also.

Ok, I see Dave, no this is unfortuantely not supported - only if you'd worked fully with automatic entries and exits with a NinjaScript strategy.

Found a straw to clutch at Bertrand.
Would it work if I entered using Order Instruction Files?

OIF files only allow you to attach ATM strategies to positions opened by them, not NinjaScript strategies.
