Simple stop placement

[n8dogg59]

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum, so if not I apologize. I'm just looking for help to have a stop automatically placed after I enter a trade. I trade the NQ and just want to have a 7.5 point stop automatically placed. Is that considered a strategy or is there a simple way to do that? Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello n8dogg59,
Thanks for your post.

Would you like the entry order to be automated or will this be a manually placed entry order?

I'd manually place the order, just want the stop placed automatically after I execute the order.

n8dogg59,

This would be called an ATM strategy.

I am including some resources and video links below on ATM strategies that you should find useful. I recommend checking out the webinar recordings and the help guide links first. The live webinars are great when you want to follow along and ask questions as you go.
