New to coding Need help modifying a strategy with a fixed SL

[Mike J]

Hello,
I am new to coding and have been messing around with the Strategy builder. I had some templates and ive been sort of Frankenstiening a strategy from them all. the Trailing stop works perfectly but i would like the option to adjust if trade is not in favor of the position. I also have a few other coding questions. Any open to any ideas to help the process.

thanks,

Hello Mike J,

Thanks for your post and welcome to the NinjaTrader forums.

Please feel free to post your questions. It is helpful if you include a screenshot of a chart that is marked up to show what you want to do, along with screenshots of your sets (that may have related questions about) or you can also attach your strategy file itself. If you are using the strategy builder, please make sure you identify that (as you have) so that when you post we can provide a response that fits the strategy builder.

If you do not wish to show your strategy in public you have the option to instead write into ScriptingSupport[at]Ninjatrader[dot]Com and we can work with you through e-mail. (We just ask that you do not both post in the forums and write in on the same subject).

As you are new, here are the educational resource available on the strategy builder:

Hello Mike J,

Thanks for your reply.

In the Strategy Builder, you would not be able to accomplish the goal of having a manually movable stop (or profit).

It is possible to create a strategy that uses an ATM template that would allow you the option to move the profit or stop however this can only be done in Ninjascript. In your NinjaTrader platform is an example called SampleATMstrategy that demonstrates this. The code is well commented to explain the functionality.
