[cowboyss]

the notes say use middle mouse button to place market stop, but I am on mac and only have a keyboard and touch pad

cowboyss, an alternative would be then setting up a HotKey for your needed order in our Hot Key Manager interface for this task - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...h_hot_keys.htm

thanks - to followup now.
i need to create a stoploss hot key
and a take profit hot key
which terms do I make hot keys?
eg. I can just click buy market without hot key - now im in a trade
I want to create stop (each time is different - eg 1.50 below the buy price)
and I want to create a take profit (each time is different - eg 1.50 above the buy price)

Yes, you could create a custom order hotkey here (right click in the order entry hotkey manager section), however what would be easier for you is creating an ATM that would automatically submit stop and target as desired then for you:

you're making it even easier...
question:
how do I make the SL and PT 1.25, 1.5 1.75?

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

So that would be expressed in points? You would need to convert those then to ticks and enter them in your ATM strategy template as stop / target off set values (taken off your entry price once triggered).

If you right click in the SuperDOM or ChartTrader interface you can set the Parameter type to pure price and percent as well, a dedicated mode as well for points here in on our feedback list in product management for consideration.

oh, I need to be clearer in my goal

How to convert the ATR figure as the SL and PT —
so if the ATR says 1.25 I want to subtract that from the buy price and make that the SL; etc.

or if this is not simple, I would do the math on the paper and still would need to know how/where to place the SL PT

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Thanks for clarifying, using an ATR based offset would unfortunately not be automatically possible here.

You would need to do the math and then setup as desired, using the steps shown here for an ATM based on ticks - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...y_example_.htm

thanks -
I see a simple way around this using the ATM strategy you suggested
if I set up a SL & TP and enter the trade, then I can manually raise/lower the SL TP to my desired prices.

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Correct, that would be an option as well - enter at a static offset first and then adjust as desired with the trade progressing.
