Stop Loss and take profit in strategy builder

[habeebft]

I love this community. I’ve been learning a great deal from everybody but I’m still stuck on a particular strategy that I’m trying to create.

can someone explain to me how I will set up a stop loss either above one bar before the entry bar for a short or below one bar before the entry bar on a long.

then for my take profit I am wanting to take the lowest low from the two previous bars before the entry bar for short, and the highest high from the two previous bars before the entry bar for a long.

Hello habeebft,

With the strategy builder Setting an automatic stop loss and profit target, with a number of ticks or currency, can be done on the Stops and Targets page.

Below is a link to the help guide and the 'Automate Your Trading with NinjaTrader's Strategy Builder' training video.
Help guide: Operations > Strategy Builder > Builder Screens > Understanding the Stops and Targets screen

Also, below is a link to a support article with helpful resources and videos on getting started with NinjaScript and C#.

If you want to set a stop and limit (as the target) at a specific price, this would need to be done with Exit orders in the Actions of the Conditions and Actions page.

Below are links to a few examples.
