    Trailing stop with entries on a secondary data series

    I have a script with multiple time frames, thus in order to get more accurate fills during testing, I have added a single-tick series and I'm submitting orders to that per the official docs here: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...ipt_strate.htm

    I'd like to add a trailing stop, but in the documentation for SetTrailStop() and SetStop(), it states:

    •Should you have multiple Bars objects of the same instrument while using SetStopLoss() in your strategy, you should only submit orders for this instrument to the first Bars context of that instrument. This is to ensure your order logic is processed correctly and any necessary order amendments are done properly.
    Am I reading this correctly that it's saying that since I'm submitting my orders to my 3rd data series (the single-tick series), that this may mess up the stops (which I presume are submitted to the first series)? Is there any workaround?

    Hello pshift,

    Welcome to the NinjaTrader forums!

    Yes, this is correct. Set methods update with the primary series only. Instead of using SetTrailStop/SetStopLoss, you would want to use Exit orders instead (or use the unmanaged approach with SubmitOrderUnmanaged).

    Below is a link to examples.

      Perfect, this looks like it will do what I'm looking for. Thanks for the fast reply.
