Creating chart makers for profit targets and stop losses

[Binarytrader]

Hello all,

This forum has been a great resource, thank you all for your contributions!

I have a strategy where I define a profit target and stop losses (one trailing and one based on max loss or max gain), and I would like to put those on my chart as symbols or markers at their respective values as they change. Can you please let me know how I can go about this?

Thanks!

Hello Binarytrader,

Thanks for your post.

As forum member Emma1 advised you could use a "plot" for your target and another plot for your stop. A plot has different "styles" where you can plot as a line, a dot, a cross, a square, or various triangles. Please see the help guide here: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...8/?addplot.htm
