Stoploss/TakeProfit/Unable to right click/etc

[rcurran92]

Hello,

I just recently started using Ninjatrader to do some paper trading and have found the process to do anything in here completely infuriating... I have run into a multitude of issues such as from being unable to have historical data load before the selected day so I normally cannot place a trade until 3-4 days into the start of the replay because it has to load before my indicators will tell me any useful information.

I was hoping I could get my multitude of issues resolved without having to scour the forum for hours trying to find these answers as I've already spent quite alot of time already with no luck...

Please be easy on me as I do know these are probably very silly questions.

1. Take Profit / Stop Loss (Before and after the order is placed...) How do I do this?

2. How do I populate historical data before my selected replay date? (9/30/13 (i want to load the month prior))

3. Sometimes I am unable to right click on my chart while I was initially able to do so... Anyway to fix this? Am I pressing a button that is causing this?

4. How do I center the graph on the current price? (the graph was going off screen randomly)

5. Is it possible to change the order form from contracts to lot size?

Thank you all for your support, and sorry for having such noobish questions...
