Auto Trail Stop using NSEditor / Visual Studio

[spook202]

Hi,

Are there any examples of how to implement an auto-trail and breakeven stop using code?
I'm looking for code examples that can be used so it can be back tested and optimized.
(is it possible to backtest something like the scenario below using ATM?)
Here's an example of what I'm looking to achieve:

1. Enter a long trade as per my conditions.

1a. Stop loss is set 10pips below entry point.

2. Trade moves 20pips in my favour

2a. Stop is automatically moved to breakeven

3. Trade moves another 10 pips in my favour (+30 pips from trade entry)

3a. Trailing Stop is activated and now trails the price by 10pips

4. Trade moves against me by 10 pips

4a. Trailing stop is triggered and trade is exited for 20 pips profit.

Are there any examples showing how something like this can be implemented in code?
I searched the forum but couldnt find many code examples.

Thanks.

I managed to find a really good example in the NT8 strategy section from NinjaTrader_Paul:

https://ninjatrader.com/support/forum/local_links.php?s=&catid=8&filter=&sort=N&page=1&pp=15&keyid=131

I managed to customize it to work with Pips and fills all of the requirements below. it's an excellent example and even draws the Profit Target / Trailing stop plots as well

If you're reading this Ninjatrader_Paul, cheers

Hi --

I have a similar question but the link that spook202 provided leads me to https://ninjatraderecosystem.com/user-app-share/.

Can you share the strategy that NinjaTrader_Paul sent?

Hi jypark03, thanks for your question and welcome to the NinjaTrader forum.

I have let Paul know of your question. He should be able to find the script that is linked.

Thanks in advance for your patience.
