Exit on close
Can I overide " exit on close" so my position stays open until the trade plays out ?

I see , Just shut it off when applying the strategy , thanks .
Also , how do I set a trailing stop . I got as far as stops and targets / strategy action in the wizard and selected trailing stop . From the parameters box how do I define how to trail the stop ?
Thanks again I appreciate it .

question
If I backtest the 12/08 ES contract and run the backtest from 8/08 through 1/13/09 will it factor in the 9/08 and 3/09 contract for the results .

With NT 6.5 or earlier, if you have merged past contracts into 12/08 then yes, otherwise no.

Thanks for that Ray. I made a mistake with that last question though . If I run a backtest for the 03/09 ES contract ( or another contract ) and choose a timeframe from around 01/08 ,or before the 03/09 contract trades, until today will the result be based upon the ES contracts that expired up until the 03/09 contract ?
Is there a maximum timeframe to look back ?
Also , I dont store any real time bar data and am getting the data to backtest from Esignal . Is there anything I should do that I might be missing ?

The same answer holds up; if you did not merge the 12-08 contract or prior contracts into the 03-09 contract, it will not.
The Strategy Analyzer does not have a limitation regarding look back period.
I suggest to create a continuous contract, since these are supported with eSignal. Go to Tools-->Instrument Manager, highlight the ES and set Expiry to ##-##. Add the ES to your instrument list. I suggest to use this instrument upon backtesting.JasonNinjaTrader Customer Service

When I apply conditions and actions how do I tell the condition builder the MACD must be falling or rising ?
On the right side I see rising , falling and slope but how can I apply these ?
