need advice on breakeven stop

[NinjaTrader_ChrisSch]

Hello gwenael,

Thank you for your note.

You can setup commissions in NinjaTrader as per the information below.
http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...ission_tab.htm

A flat commission (minimum commission) will apply commissions per side per order.

A tiered level (commission level) will apply commissions per side per contract/share.

For example, if you like a commission of $2.00 per order per side, please enter a flat commission of 2. A commission of $2 will be calculated for the entire order per side. So if you submit an order for 5 contracts, it will calculate a commission of $2 per side, which is a total of $4 per the entire order.

If you would like a commission of $2.00 per contract, please enter a tiered commission of 2/99999999. Each contract traded will calculate a commission of $2 per side. So if you submit an order for 5 contracts, a commission of $2 * 5 is calculated per side, which is $20 for the entire order.

Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

Hello NT,

I juste need help on this.

I want to open a position
1) stop loss at -10 ticks
2) if markets moves +5 ticks, stop loss become -5 (instead of -10)
3) if market moves +12 ticks, stop loss become breakeven and stays breakeven.

I cannot find how to do 3) on ATM strategies.

Thanks for your kind help.

Hello,

Thanks for your post.

The third part would be a part of the stop strategies section of an ATM:

https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...p_strategy.htm

In this case, you'd set the Stop Strategy Profit Trigger to 12 and leave the Plus section at 0 to remain at breakeven

If you have any further NinjaTrader inquiries we may assist with, please don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks for your reply.
I don't get it. I understand how to put a breakeven stop after 12 ticks of profit but I do not see the previous part, I mean how to raise the stop loss by 5 ticks from -10 ticks after a +5 ticks favorable move.
Sorry to be such a noob on this ! :-((

Hello,

Thanks for your reply.

In the case of setting multiple levels for an ATM stop, you can use the Auto Breakeven for the first one, (and set it to -5), and for the actual breakeven set a single step Auto-Trail to cover the rest of the space to the breakeven:

Please let me know if I may be of any further assistance.

Thanks for your screen capture
The thing is that your setup , when market reach +12 in profit, put effectively a breakeven stop (no more risk)...BUT breakeven stop raises one tick more by each increment of +1 tick. I do not want this, I want breakeven stop stays at breakeven, even if market skyrockets.
Sorry to disturb on that.

Hello,

Thanks for the reply.

If you change the 'Frequency' for the +12 profit trail from 1 to 999 it will remain at the new level, as it is unlikely that the market will ever move 999 ticks while your strategy is active.

Please let us know if you have any further questions.

It works fine. Thank you so much for your time. Good day !

Hello,

I have a question on another topic. I have sometimes "holes" in my chart....the feed stops, and I have then a hole in my quotes (see screen capture enclosed between 12153 and 12166 NQ). Generally, reloading all historical data (ctrl+schift+R) makes the job...but sometimes no as today. What can I do more to prevent this from happening ?
Thanks for your time. Gwen
