Is there a way wherein you can create exit conditions that build upon one another?

I have a condition set that if the current price is 200 ticks above total position price, exit 1 contract (of 3 held). Is there a way to make the next exit 200 ticks above where that first piece was sold?

Hello CactusMan,

The Like to your post can be read as acknowledgement that a vote has been added.

You could consider when in your "200 ticks above AverageEntryPrice" Exit condition, to assign a value to a variable of type double with the value of Strategy > Average Position Price with an offset of 400 ticks. We can call the variable "400TicksAbove"

Then, in another condition set, you can compare the current price against the "400TickAbove" variable for your second exit.

When working with variables, it is important to reset them to initial values. For example, you can reset this variable to a very high value when the strategy position is flat, when you place your entry order. That way, when you enter a second time, the condition using "400TickAbove" will not exit at an unintended time/price.

For more information on making various comparisons in the Strategy Builder like position checks and comparing price levels, please see the resources below.

Actions examples - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...t8/actions.htm

Variables can be created in the Inputs and Variables page of the Strategy builder. They can be assigned under Actions and read inside Conditions.
