Attention!

I am using the SetProfitTarget function to set profit targets for my entries. Is it possible that I can set the order to execute as a market order instead of a limit order at the profit target using SetProfitTarget? I can do this manually by having the system detect when the profit target is hit then send a market order to exit, but being able to use SetProfitTarget would make things much easier.

Unfortunately this is not supported.

Just keep polling in the update loop for the price on every tick in NinjaSript. When you see the price you want on the bid or ask, just exit with a market order.
