Hello WaltH,
Yes, this can be accomplished by using the Strategy Wizard. The Strategy Wizard can be opened by left mouse clicking on the Tools menu within the NinjaTrader Control Center, selecting the menu item New NinjaScript and selecting the menu item Strategy. You could set your entrance criteria in the Condition Builder and set entry actions in the Strategy Actions area.
To get your strategy to have an original stop for the 1st position, then move your stop as new positions are added. You would need to manually code this as the Strategy Wizard does not the ability to create this. You would have to use the Managed Approach use the SetStopLoss() method to set your stop losses per new position added.
To assist you further with this, I have included the Managed Approach and SetStopLoss() Help Guides.

I read through the guide that you pointed out here and I could not determine what I need to know. My question is different but this question seemed to be the closest so I thought I should address it here.
I would like to set my strategy so that I scale up my entries instead of scaling back. Essentially, I would like for the first entry to be 1 contract (based on price action and indicators), then once the price moves say 35 ticks, open a second contract, and once again add a third at 50 ticks. I would like for the trailing stop to move up to at least break even with each additional entry. Right now my strategy has no target as it aims to catch the long runners.
Is there instructional material to help me code this?
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Dolfan
