Attach to Indicator command for NT8

[Genesis2021]

Hi,
Anyone know a way to use the "Attach to Indicator" command in Strategy Builder? I would like to attach my Stop Order to an EMA, either when the trade is first entered or possibly even later in the trade, when other conditions have been met.

Thanks,
Best Regards

Hello Genesis2021,

Thanks for your post.

In the Strategy Builder, the SetStopLoss and the other Set methods are created as fixed values meaning once created they cannot be changed. Indicator values are not known at the time that the Set method is created and in the Strategy Builder, this is a limitation.

To accomplish your goal of using a Set method that ties to an indicator, you would have to unlock the Strategy Builder created strategy and work directly in a Ninjascript Editor. In Ninjascript, in the section where you place the order, you would assign the SetStopLoss() to the value of the indicator before the line that places the order to ensure the stop loss value is set first.

For alternative approaches and more information please see this forum thread: https://ninjatrader.com/support/foru...rategy-builder
