Help with 'Reverse at Stop' feature
I have enabled 'Reverse at Stop'. If I go long 10 contracts and have the stop for 5 contracts remain static at the point of entry and have 5 contracts that have an autotrail that follows 10 ticks behind every 15 ticks of profit (I understand how to set this up with two Targets, and set the Autotrail feature on the Target 2 for 5 contracts). But as the autotrail stop follows the market, it can get caught in a 'Reverse at stop' loop where it keeps adding to my position size (because the autotrail stop wants to reverse the position (5 contracts) it's following, so the autotrail stop is actually 15s, if you understand what I'm saying). How can I set the Reverse at Stop feature so that it only reverses the full quantity (10 contracts) on the last (static) stop. So basically I want to scale out with half of the contracts, but want to have the full quantity of contracts reverse at the final (static) stop, not reverse also on the autotrailing stop.

Hi Ben,
Essentially I want to have the Reverse at Stop enabled and have the full quantity to reverse at the outer most stop. I was under the impression this was possible, as per a response I received from one of your experts Bertrand(?), scroll down and see his response to my question #16 in this previous thread:
Who is right, you or him?
thanks..

Hi Bertrand,
I see your attached pic, but in it you simply have 2 different targets, but no Custom stop strategy on the second target. Imagine you change your targets to something larger, like 50 target for both, and on the second target quantity, you have a Custom trailing stop, so that it locks in profit on that half of the quantity. So basically I could scale out with a portion of the contracts, but still have the full quantity of contracts reverse only at the outermost stop, not reversing at the autotrailing stop.

sev888, for this you would need to work with the ATM / Strategies tab options to designate which brackets are modified - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...tegiesTab.htmlBertrandNinjaTrader Customer Service

Hi Bertrand,
I appreciate your continued assistance. I read the link you supplied and then disabled both "Modify inner bracket" and "Modify nearest bracket" (in Tools --> Options --> Strategies), and then ran the ATM reverse strategy, but it didn't work- I am still getting the autotrailing stops trying to reverse (eventhough it is the inner/ nearest stop).
Please try this ATM strategy, and see that the problem continues, or suggest what needs to change. Create an ATM strategy that has "Reverse at Stop" activated, disable both "Modify inner bracket" and "Modify nearest bracket".
Order qty: 10
Target 1: 5 contracts, stop loss: 5, profit target: 40
Custom Stop strategy: Profit trigger: 5 Plus: 1
Target 2: 5 contracts, stop loss: 5, profit target: 80
Custom Stop strategy: Profit trigger: 5 Plus: 1
Autotrail: Step 1: Stop loss: 4 Frequency: 40 Profit Trigger: 7
Autotrail: Step 2: Stop loss: 7 Frequency: 5 Profit Trigger: 12
You will see that the Reverse at Stop is attached to the climbing Autotrailing stop on the Target 2 set of 5 contracts. Whereas I'd like to scale out with those 5 contracts, but still have the full quantity of contracts reverse only at the outermost stop (which is the original entry plus 1), not reversing at the autotrailing stop.
Please advise... thank you..
