Trailing stop

[nutmame1]

Hi,

I'm trying to build a strategy for my long position. I want to get out of the trade when 4 ema cross 32hma. Is it possible to do it? Please help.

Thank you.

Hello nutmame1,

Thanks for your post and welcome to the NinjaTrader forums!

A strategy would be used to both enter and exit a trade, is this what you are wanting to do?

If so, are you using the Strategy builder or working directly in Ninjascript code.

Or do you have a manually placed entry and are looking to use a chart alert to exit the trade when those cross conditions occur?

I will enter manually and use the strategy to get out of the trade. Is it possible?

Hello nutmame1,

Thanks for your reply.

You can enter manually and exit with a strategy although that is an unusual process. To do so would require creating your strategy directly in Ninjascript which is based on C# programming language and using the AdoptAccountPosition: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...itionaware.htm and https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...ccountPosition

You would not be able to use the Strategy Builder for this.

An easier path, if you are not a programmer, would be to use the Chart Alert feature where you can construct the conditions of a moving average cross and issue an order based on that cross. For reference, here is the chart alerts in the help guide: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...t8/?alerts.htm
