Setting a stop loss as a condition

[tradertom2012]

In strategy builder regarding stop loss settings, we have numerical choices for stops. Is there a way to set a stop as a condition in strategy builder. ie. stop out of position when price crosses an indicator line for example.

Also i could ask them same about profit targets. Can they be set to as a condition. ie take profit when price crosses the 100 ema for example.

Hello tradertom2012,

In the builder you can only do conditional targets by using the Set pages, the Stops and Targets page sets fixed targets meaning you only set them up one time and they always work the same.

To submit any type of target with custom calculated prices or movements/timing you would need to do similar logic to what is shown in the strategy break even example. This sample uses variables to control when a stop is submitted and how it is priced. https://ninjatrader.com/support/foru...rategy-builder
