Auto Breakeven script

[asdfadf]

Hi,

A newbie question: how do I programmatically implement Auto Breakeven?

All the threads I found are either very old (2008-ish), or contain Wizard Scripts (without meaningful variable names and such) or subsequent changes are required. Also, they mention race conditions involving MarketPosition.Flat

Is there a readily available script that I can just borrow? Something that closely mimics the Stop Strategy dialog, with inputs called "profit trigger" and "plus"?

I understand it's very simple, but this is my first experience with Ninja Script and I've got to provide estimate for this and other functionality ASAP. And it just seems logical that programmers should have an easy access to all the features available via GUI.

Thank you

Hello asdfadf,

Thank you for your inquiry.

You would be able to implement an auto breakeven in this way. This example will set your stop loss to breakeven once you reach 50 ticks in profit:

[FONT="Courier New"]if (Close[0] > Position.AvgPrice + 50 * TickSize)
{
SetStopLoss (CalculationMode.Price, Position.AvgPrice);
}[/FONT]

Our forum has an extremely helpful references sample section for both strategies and indicators: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...splay.php?f=30

The code I've mentioned above is a snippet from the code in the "Strategy: Modifying the price of stop loss and profit target orders" post.

The NinjaTrader help guide also has a very handy alphabetical reference for NinjaScript as well: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h..._reference.htm

Please, let us know if we may be of further assistance, and enjoy diving into NinjaScript!
