    Exiting a long or short trade, what indicators to verify exits using price action?

    Hello fellow Ninja Traders,

    Using strategy builder, I would like to do the following:

    I'm using a strategy that enters a momentum trade either long or short, and rides the movement up or down until reversal starts or the trend appears to change.

    My issue is, I haven't found a good way to exit these trades. I either exit too early using price of last candle checks or other ideas I've tried, or too late using MA crossovers and ideas of that nature. While I realize it's not possible to capture 100% of the profit, I am too early or too late - every time.

    Can someone suggest a method to check price or perhaps that in conjunction with some indicators so I can test exits with multiple confluence?

    Thanks in advance for any advice. Open to trying anything, would like to use strategy builder please.

    Hello christrading6267,

    Welcome to the NinjaTrader forums!

    This thread will remain open for any community members that would like to provide trading advice.

    If you do decide on specific logic, I will be happy to assist with implementing this using the Strategy Builder or in code.

      Thanks for the reply, Chelsea.

      I understand you cannot provide specific trading advice, I'm hoping someone can point me in the direction of a technique to check for the conditions outlined in my first post. If anyone out there reading this has a suggestion, I would appreciate your feedback even if it's a brief response. Thanks again for your help.

        Hello christrading6267,

        To understand the behavior you can print the values along with the time of the bar to the NinjaScript Output window using the Strategy Builder.

        Please see the video 'Debugging using prints with the Strategy Builder' in the forum post linked below for a demonstration.
