Hello ryguy137,

Welcome to the NinjaTrader forums!

I've added your vote to SFT-1365. Thank you for taking time to provide feedback.

Please note, we receive many requests and cannot reasonably implement all requested features or changes. Interest is tracked internally and if enough interest is tracked, it would be weighed against how feasible it would be to make those changes to consider implementing, so we cannot offer an ETA or promise of fulfillment.

When new features are implemented, they will be listed in the Release Notes page of the Help Guide. The ID number may be different than the internal feature request tracking ID, but the description of the feature will let you know if that feature has been implemented.

Add my vote, seems pretty basic.

Is there an fairly easy way to code this in builder to effect the ATM?

Using an Atm Strategy from a template, instead of using NinjaScript Strategy exit order trailing logic, uses a separate advanced set of methods which, unfortunately, cannot be setup with the Strategy Builder.

The Strategy must be programmed manually in the NinjaScript Editor using Atm Strategy methods.

When using Atm Strategy Methods the Atm strategy is basically send to the core to be handled. It is then completely abandon by the strategy, other than the id that can be used to retrieve the state.
Orders placed through Atm Strategy methods do not affect the Strategy Position and do not affect the StrategyPerformance.
Think of these as manually placed orders that are not part of the strategy, but still are able to have the entry automated with logic.

Below are links to the help guide on Atm Strategy Methods.
Atm Strategy Methods - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...gy_methods.htm
Using Atm Strategy Methods - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...strategies.htm

Included with NinjaTrader is a strategy named SampleAtmStrategy which demonstrates.


That said, if you were using regular exit orders and not an Atm template, this could be done in the Strategy Builder.

Below is a link to an example.
