    Trailing stop Strategy

    Hello NT8 community,

    I'm attempting to build somewhat of a complex strategy. I have everything working except the last piece that I'm having issues with. My strategy enters with 1 contract with two clicks. It has 1 target of 10 ticks for the first contract and a 2nd target of 25 ticks for the second contract. Both stop losses are set to 5 ticks. However, I want it to move the stop loss for contract Forum up 10 ticks above entry position so that my 2nd contract never stop below entry if target 1 is hit.

    Hello rsmustang19,

    Thanks for your post.

    You can use exit order methods and adding coding logic in the Strategy Builder to accomplish this goal. Please note that you would not be able to use the exit methods and the stops in the stop and targets window as that creates a violation of the managed approach internal order handling rules, linked here: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...d_approach.htm

    My colleague Chelsea has created educational examples of strategy builder breakeven and trailing stop in the strategy builder here that you could review:
