Only Move Stop When Trade Executes

[IndyScalper]

I have a few strategies where I take partial profit and a stop gets moved to breakeven.
For example:
I buy 10 MNQ at 15000
The price moves up 10 points so I sell 5 MNQ
The stop moves to breakeven and I let the other 5 run or stop out

My problem is that it is not uncommon to reach the 10 points, have my stop move to breakeven, but the selling of the initial 5 MNQ does not execute.
Is there any way to make the moving of the stop to breakeven dependent on the actual execution of the trade instead of simply reaching a price?

Thanks!

Hello IndyScalper,

Thanks for your post.

So I may accurately assist, are you referring to an ATM Strategy template seen in Chart Trader or SuperDOM?

Or, are you referring to using a custom NinjaScript strategy that you programmed?

I look forward to assisting further.

Hello IndyScalper,

Thanks for the clarification.

Unfortunately, the ATM Strategy templates in Chart Trader do not have the option/ability to set the ATM Strategy to wait for the partial fill to occur before moving the stop to breakeven.

A workaround you could consider is to increase your stops Auto Breakeven Profit Trigger value to say 11 or 12 points in your favor so that those 5 orders are sold when the price moves 10 points in your favor and then the stop is moved to breakeven once the Auto Breakeven Profit Trigger is reached.

Yes, I've tried a couple of workarounds like padding the profit target and even removing auto breakeven completely and moving it manually, but each has its own difficulties, especially when things are moving quickly.
Anyhow, thanks for the information, I wanted to make sure there wasn't something simple I was overlooking.
