Auto Trail

[Trader61]

In Ninja, is the AutoTrail feature only available with ATM? Is there any other stop features in Ninja?

Hello Trader61,

Thank you for your reply.

Auto-Trail is a component of ATM Strategies.

Along with auto-trail, auto breakeven and simulated stop orders are also available.

Thanks for your reply.

Is simulated stop orders also in ATM? So is all stop functionality in Ninja only in ATM?

I'm looking for an auto stop where when I enter a trade, the stop is automatically entered with the trade, I think I would prefer it as simulated rather than actually entered in the market. Example: Buy CL at 69.73, auto-stop at 69.61, so if the market suddenly crashed down to 68.00, would the stop get executed at 69.61? Or would it just go market as soon as it's touched off? Simulated stop order functions like this? Auto-trail actually enters a real stop order?

Hi Trader61,

Thank you for your reply.

Yes, simulated stop orders are available in ATM as well.

In the case of a simulated stop, the order (limit or market) would be submitted to market as soon as the price touched your stop value.

Auto-Trail will use a 'regular' stop loss order unless you specify that the strategy is to use simulated stops.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
