trailing stop loss inputs and variables

[SteveReiza]

i'm setting up an automated strategy. and, i'd like to use a trailing stop. for instance, if price hits 40 ticks from entry then i'd like to have a stop loss of +5 ticks. what inputs and variables do i need to have for that?

Hello SteveReiza,

Please watch the 'Automate Your Trading with NinjaTrader's Strategy Builder' training video which demonstrates adding an input and using this as the amount of ticks for the stop loss distance.

On the Inputs and variables add an input.

When selecting Stop loss on the Stop and Targets page in the Value click set, then select the input.
