Strategy Builder - Trailing Stop Timing

[vvvvova]

Hello everybody!

I am developing an automated strategy using the Strategy Builder tool in Ninjatrader 8, and I would like to enable a trailing stop, I want to know if it is possible to set the stop settings so that the stop starts working after a certain time or another day after opening a position

Thanks in advance!

Hi vvvvova, thanks for your note.

The SetTrailStop method is called in the OnStateChanged method of the generated script, so there's no way to customize a trailing stop behavior. One would need to unlock the script and place stop-loss orders with custom code in the OnBarUpdate method. We have an example on using Time variables/controlling a script using time here:

Please let me know if you have any questions.
