Chart trader with a custom strategy exit

designer · 03-06-2009, 02:17 PM

Is it possible to make an exit using a custom strategy to an entry I do with the Chart Trader? Say I bought a stock via the Chart Trader and want to exit using an Automated Chandelier Stop strategy.
Thanks

designer,

Unfortunately you cannot tie a manually entered trade to a NinjaScript strategy. However, you can attach an ATM strategy to that manually entered trade.

Can the ATM strategy be a Chandelier Stop?

Unfortunately ATM strategies cannot access indicator values for creating stops.

Can i create a script with the wizzard so my entry is based on a price figure i set on the fly?
thanks

Unfortunately not designer.

What you can create is a User Defined Variable that has a certain value. You can then take that value and use it as your entry price, but this may not necessarily be "on the fly".
