Question Profit Target?

I'm having trouble getting the profit target to work. Once the 2 moving averages cross over, enter long or short and 10 ticks is the profit target. I'm using the wizard and at the end I set profit target to 10 ticks and that's it. I run it and it does not work.

Any ideas on where I messed up?

I searched and have the same problem as Razor Trader in this thread

You always could "branch out" to edit your code manually and add debug information as per here: http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/v...ead.php?t=3418

Hello Ninja B,


Thank you for your post.

Please confirm that your entry signal names match in the Entry and Profit Target input parameters. Please note the name "YourSignalNameHere" in the attached screen shots match. Your input signal names should match also.
