How to move my stop to be+1 after so many ticks

[newtrader1]

Hi all,

Please bear with me as I have never coded before. I have created a strategy using the wizard which I am happy with. I have set a profit target and stop loss in the wizard.

My stop is set to 15 ticks. How can I move my stop to be+1 after I get 10 ticks of profit in my position. I have not coded before so any assistance would be appreciated

Thanks

newtrader1,

What you want to do would require custom programming. You will need to unlock the code. Please take a look at this reference sample: http://www.ninjatrader-support2.com/...ead.php?t=3222

Thank you very much Josh. I will import and take a look.

I have a simple strategy setup which is just cross of Moving average. When I apply the strategy to a chart it always enters a postion straight away as the price is already below or above the MA. Is there any way to stop this from happening

thanks again for your help

This is most likely a virtual strategy position. Remember a strategy position is not the same as an account position. If you do not want your strategy to calculate out any historical strategy positions you will need to use this in the beginning of the OnBarUpdate() method.

if (Historical)
     return;
