The ATRvalue @ this point is ATR Value 0.0582825907257643
it filled @ 99.45 and is trying to setup a stop @ 99.45
why is it setting a stop @ 99.45

should it not be setting it atleast 5 ticks below the current price.

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Hi junkone, your ATR value is 0.0582825907257643 which is very to close 0 ticks - try this multiplied by a factor of for example 100.

[junkone]

so if i set it to CalculationMode.Price would it then trail stop @ .05 of the exeution price and as it rises higher?
.05 is basically 5 pips range

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Yes, you could set it to price mode, but then you should put in OnBarUpdate().

[junkone]

why cannot i see the trail stop in my orders tab. i can see it being outputted to my output tab as i had set
TraceOrders = true;

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Not sure junkone - does it appear as working order on the SuperDOM?

[junkone]

would a trail stop kick inonly if there is initial profits? or would it trail from my execution price?

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

Execution price.

[junkone]

i simplified my strategy to debug. for some reason, its not triggering my trail stop. here is the code. pl let me know what is wrong

CalculationMode.Ticks, 5

What role ATR supose to play here?

[junkone]

i want to trail stop to 1 ATR.

[junkone]

now this makes me mad. i have been led on a goose chase wasting a good full day worth of effort.
SetTrailStop("buying", CalculationMode.Ticks,5, false);=WORKS
SetTrailStop("buying", CalculationMode.Price,.0005, false);= DOES NOT WORK.


some one from NT better come up with some explanation....,

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

junkone,

Everything works as expected. CalculationMode.Price means you type in the EXACT price you want your stop to be at. You do not type in the price you want to offset. That is what CalculationMode.Ticks is for.
