Move Breakeven/stop farther away

[sigma70]

I have my initial stop set at -5 ticks (on long trades). I want to move it down to -10 ticks after a couple of ticks profit. I know this may sound counter-intuitive, but it may help my results. I tried to use the auto breakeven feature in the ATM stop strategy, but the stop didn't change when the profit trigger was hit. I set it up like this: profit trigger = 2, Plus = -10.

Is there a way I can get this stop to move down?

thanks.

Hello sigma70,

Thank you for contacting us with this question.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to use an Stop Strategy to widen a stop within NinjaTrader 7. Stop Strategies will process only those modifications which cause the stop to be moved closer to the last traded price.

That is what I thought, but thanks anyway.
