How can I configure a trailing stop WITH steps?

[Anonymous365]

Hi, I recently switched from NinjaTrader 8 Desktop to the NinjaTrader web version. I use a strategy that has a trailing stop with 2 steps, the problem is that it seems like there's no option to add more than 1 step on the web version. Is there any way I can get around this? Thanks!

Hello Anonymous365,



Thank you for posting on the NinjaTrader forums.


You're correct—the NinjaTrader Web platform does not currently support multi-step trailing stops like the Desktop version. The Web version has a simplified trade management system, and trailing stops are limited to a single step.


Potentially, you could manually adjust your stops, you could periodically update your stop loss to mimic a multi-step trailing stop. If your strategy relies heavily on multi-step trailing stops, you might consider continuing to use the NinjaTrader Desktop platform for that feature.
