Is this ATM Strategy possible w/out custom programming?

pclark · 09-12-2008, 04:48 PM

I would like to place a Stop 1.25 ticks from my entry

Once I have made a predetermined profit lets say of 2 for this example. IF another bar has began above the close of the previous bar I would like to move my stop two ticks from the close of this previous bar and continue to trail two ticks at a time. IF the bar was at or below the close of the previous bar I would like to close out my position at that point.

I would also like the option of taking half of the profit and continuing to trail if the criteria were met.

Is this doable w/just what the ATM strategy is capable of? Are there any limitations for what I am asking?

If anyone could point me in a direction to get started I would appreciate it. I have also met a programmer that might be able to help me if this is not that straight foward. Thanks....

Unfortunately I believe you are going to need custom programming for this. To get a full understanding of what is available to you in the ATM strategies please see the Help Guide here: http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...helpguide.html and then go to "Advanced Trade Management (ATM)" on the left side.
