ATR Stops

[Trader17]

Can we use an ATR Value and convert it to ticks for a stop in Strategy Builder?
Thanks.

Hello Trader17,

Thanks for your inquiry.

This would be possible to hard code into an unlocked NinjaScript strategy, but this would not be possible in the Strategy Builder as the Strategy Builder has limited support for mathematical operations and there is not a way you could multiply the ATR by the TickSize and convert it for use for an ExitLimit or ExitStop order in the Strategy Builder.

Additionally, if you wanted to use SetProfitTarget() or SetStopLoss() to set an exit based on indicator values, you would have to unlock the code so the strategy can update the profit target and stop losses dynamically.

You may see the SetProfitTarget() and SetStopLoss() documentation for more information on hard coding dynamic profit targets and stop losses based on changing data.
