'Stops & Targets' missing from the Condition Builder?

[Elliott Wave]

I was wondering why the 'Stops and Targets' section of order management is available from 'Insert Action' in the NinjaScript editor, but not from the condition builder in the strategy wizard?

Considering the lack of ATM support in the strategy wizard, I really think being able to modify stops and targets vis a vis the condition builder would really make life a lot easier. For example, when the unrealized PnL target is reached, move the stop to break even, or when the ADX crosses below 25 tighten the stop etc, there are countless ways this could be useful...

I realize there is a 'Stops and Targets' screen at the last stage of the wizard, but it lacks the flexibility of being condition based.

Through the Strategy Wizard you can easily just use ExitLongStop() for your stop orders.

True enough.

I just noticed the discrepancy between one part of the program and another, which often equals missing functionality, but I guess it makes no difference in this case.

Thanks.

You are comparing apples to oranges.

- In the editor, the dialoge window inserts pre-defined code wherever your cursor in the editor sits.

In the Strategy Wizard, the same stops/targets methods are available in the second to last wizard screen. They can't be part of the "actions" since these methods were designed to go in the Initialize() method. The resulting code under "Actions" goes is executed within OnBarUpdate().
