Hello mission1682,

Thanks for writing in to our Support team.

Can you clarify - are you attempting to do this via the default functions in the platform or do you want to program this behavior via NinjaScript?

I look forward to your reply.

Hello misson1682,

Thanks for your reply.

For future reference - the strategy development section of our forum is reserved for inquiries related to developing automated trading strategies via NinjaScript. We have moved your post over to the Platform Technical Support section - in the future if you have inquiries related to default functions of the platform please post in the Platform Technical Support for whichever version of the platform your inquiry is about.

You can get the behavior you want in our platform by using ATM strategies. With ATM strategies you will be able to define a profit target, stop loss, and stop strategy which could include autotrail and autobreakeven behaviors. You can access ATM strategies via the SuperDOM window and Chart Trader as well as a couple of our other order entry windows but these two are by far the most popular windows used by our clients for order entry.

When you select Custom from the ATM strategy drop down menu in either of these windows, a window will appear named Custom Strategy Parameters. Here you can define your values for profit targets/stop loss orders and you can select Custom again from the Stop Strategy drop down menu to get to you stop strategies where you can define an Auto Trail/AutoBreakeven behavior.

You will not be able to define a behavior to enter a trade once one of your targets is hit by default in our platform - this would require custom coding with NinjaScript. You can add additional targets to your ATM strategy, and define new profit target/stop loss values for that target.

If you want to enter in to the market again once your target has filled on your initial trade, you do not need to close your trade but simply select your ATM strategy again and enter into the market and your stop loss/profit target values that were used on your initial trade will be applied again to your next trade so long as you have the same ATM strategy selected in the ATM strategy control list.
