Add to ATM Strategy "Trailing "Limit""

[shawnj]

This is the same concept that currently exists with Trailing Stops but instead it would be applied to the Limit (profit) side of the OCO pair.

If we enter a position and that position start to go underwater, then trail the "Limit" order (profit target) in towards the entry price (less profit).

The concept is, if the positition starts to go underwater, we begin to shift from offense (profit) to defense (minimize loss).

Set it up with same three parameters that currently exist in the Stop Strategy dialog but perhaps use names like: "Loss trigger", "Profit loss", and "Frequency".

thanks,

Thank you for the suggestion. I will forward this for our list of future considerations.

Also have you looked at our Chase options?

These can be applied to Profit targets as well.

Trailing Stop Added To A Open Position

TRAILING STOP ADDED TO A OPEN POSITION

It would be great to add Trailing Stop Strategies after a basic entry order has been placed...

The reason is I don't know what kind of TrailingStop OR Strategy I want to place until after the trade has matured, When I'm ready to exit I want to be able to enter a ATM Strategy...

As NinjaTrader is now after a Basic Entry Order (with no ATM-Strategy) has been filled, If I try to enter a Strategy Stop NT won't let me.
