Profit Target at already plotted EMA point several bars back

[yeahdudeman]

I'd like to set a profit target at a previously plotted point on the chart where an EMA was located a few bars back. I have tried but when going to strategy analyzer no trades are ever taken. If I set profit target to a static tick value it does take trades so it is not an issue with my conditions. I've read some things on here about it not being possible in the wizard for taking profit at an indicator but I believe those people were trying to take profit where the indicator was on the current bar. Is this possible to do on already plotted points for an indicator several bars back without going into the source code?

Hello yeahdudeman,

Welcome to the NinjaTrader forums!

In the Strategy Builder, you would need to use Exit orders and not Set orders to use indicator or bar pricing information.

A variable could be used to store the indicator price when the condition is true to save it. Then that price can be used as the stop or limit price.
