How to do a negative/subtract offset?

[Diveaholic]

Please help! I've been working on this for hours and I'm going crazy!

I can't code so I'm using the Strategy Wizard. I'm new to NT and so far I've had an easy time setting up the entries and exits I want to test. But I've hit a wall with the Stop Loss. I want my stop loss to be my Entry Price minus ATR(x). (Entry Price doesn't seem to be an option, so the Open Price is an acceptable substitute for now.)

I found instructions on this forum about setting Variable0 in the conditions and using that in the Stop Loss, but apparently the Wizard will only add not subtract. When I view the code I can see the + and I know that I could change that to a - if I edit the code, but then I wouldn't be able to use the Wizard any more.

Am I just missing something stupidly obvious? Or did NT overlook this stupidly obvious functionality when they built the Wizard?

Hello Diveaholic,

Thank you for your post and welcome to the forum!

You are not missing anything. The offset value was designed to add values. You could use a hard value such as -5 which would turn out like this -

Open[0] + -5 * TickSize

However, you would not be able to do the same with an Indicator's value. I will forward this to development to consider for the next major release of NinjaTrader

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
