Making A strategy solely for Entries

[Ppumpkinton1]

Hi y'all,

I want to make a strategy that sets stop loss/take profit automatically, still allows me to manage the strategy via the chart trader, or some other similar form.
Is there a way to do this? i've seen the long/short toolbar buttons, but that still doesn't allow me to see and manage the trades placed by the strategy.
Any imput is appreciated, thanks beforehand

Hello Ppumpkinton1,

In manual coding you can do that, this would not be possible with the builder due to how it keeps targets active. You can find a sample of that concept here: https://forum.ninjatrader.com/forum/...gy#post1204121

So this allows me to modify the entries of the strategy via the chart trader?

Thanks

Hello Ppumpkinton1,

The two key points to take from that sample is that the orders are submitted as live until cancelled meaning they will only need to be called once and will stay active. The second point is that the logic does not call the order metho again after it initially submits the order, as long as the script is not actively trying to reset the price your manual changes will persist.
