SetProfitTarget not working ... don't know why

[louisecote12]

I've been working on this issue for 3 hours, maybe someone can help me.

In my initialize, I included :
SetProfitTarget(CalculationMode.Price, 2.5);

and for some reason, it's not exiting my position when it reaches a 2.50 $ increase in price.

I also tried : SetProfitTarget(CalculationMode.Percent, 1);

nothing works...

here is my ZIP. thank you

Hello louisecote12,

Thank you for your post and welcome to the NinjaTrader Support Forum!

If you want a value in currency you would use the following syntax: SetProfitTarget(2.5);
Using CalculationMode.Price is an absolute price value on the scale. I am not sure why the CalculationMode.Percent with 1 would not work. Are there any errors in your Log tab of the NinjaTrader Control Center when attempting to run this strategy?
