Question Stop loss with Strategy Wizard

Hi,

Great software!
I am starting out by defining a strategy with the wizard and using imported historical daily data.
My strategy works fine, except for the stop loss, which never gets executed.

I am trying to have a stop loss of 5%:
stop loss for entry signal
mode: percent
value 5

Any idea ? Thanks

Hi ptolar, welcome to the NinjaTrader support forums! Please enter 0.05 for the stop loss value, as this would represent 5%.
