Feature Request: ATM Strategy Custom Parameter Type - Percentage of Account Size

[Lancer]

At ATM Strategy > Custom > Parameter type, the parameters are Currency, Percent (of average entry price), Price, Ticks, and Pips. I think stop values (acceptable risk) are usually considered or calculated as a percentage of account size, but Percent of Account Size is not a stop loss parameter option. As it is now to establish a stop loss value after a percent of account size calculation, that value must be further converted into ticks or pips (for specific markets), or left as currency, but in any case that value must be updated as account size changes. It would be a lot easier if Percent of Account Size was a stop loss parameter type, leaving the conversion calculation and updating to NinjaTrader.

Four years later, and no solution for this so far !!! :-( What's the matter, Ninjatrader Service !?? We all know, brokers aren't interested in implementing this. Ok, okay! But we all also know, if you don't implement this soon, ... Tradingview becomes better every month, especially for new customers, don't you see that? Many more brokers, many more tools... They even have an App, which you don't have.
Please do your community the favor and push this forward, finally!! EVERY professional misses this feature, since years !!!

Hello benjit379,

Thank you for your reply.

I have added a vote on your behalf to SFT-3381.

We in the Support Department don't have decision making power as to what eventually will be added to the platform. However, I will pass your comments on to the development team.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.

Hello Kate,

thank you so much for your efforts, also on this topic!! I really appreciate that.
It feels good (for me as a NT customer) that someone like you is in the Support Department.
If there are any news I hope to get it.

Thank you,

Ben

It's incredible that this is not a default for trading applications.
It's almost like they want people to lose money.
