Splitting Profit Targets

fifty2aces · 10-10-2007, 07:50 AM

I've recently discovered ninjatrader, and I'm trying to create a strategy which mimics the way I manually trade. I've managed to get the entries working, but can't figure out the exit. What I want to do is have a fixed profit target where half the position will be closed, and a trailing stop which will either close the entire position (if the fixed target isn't met) or close the second half of the position.

Any ideas? I've only just started learning C#, so please be gentle!

Welcome to NinjaTrader!

Your requirement is actually the basis for a reference sample that I wanted to provide to the community. Please bear with me as I will have a reference sample demonstrating how to accomplish this on the site in this section by early next week.
