I have read the help files on the trailing stops and it appears to only be set up for someone who is dyslexic or wants to set something up for scaling in or scaling out from the Super Dom.
As much as I don't like it I can place orders from the Super Dom.
To be clear I do not want scaling in or out. I want to set a trailing stop like I could on any other platform in existence. So how do I do so?
It appears that I have to set up an ATM strategy and set up a quantity, Stop Loss and Profit target save it and then chose it before a trade is placed for it to work. Am I correct?
I don't want to set a profit target but can deal with it if the stop strategy will automatically take over and stop the trade from being closed.
Since I am only really trying to do the most complicated trailing stop in history do I need to set up more than 1 target for this?
If I am correct and I can set 1 target and then create a stop strategy. Is this just saved also and how, or do I need to make the ATM target and Stop strategy then save it as 1 name or are they 2 separate things as far as NT is concerned? Do I have to do a custom for each trade?
Moving on to the stop Strategy Screen.
At the top is the auto Break Even.
Seems simple enough. If I put my stop loss at 15 and auto break even at 15 plus 1 when I am 16 ticks into profit it should move my stop to 1 tick in profit, am I correct? I would prefer not to use this feature at all to make things easier. Is it possible to not use this and if so what values should be entered.
Now we get to my Auto trail. Closest thing we appear to have to a trailing stop.
Assuming I have made it to my 1 tick profit I believe this is somehow how this starts to kind of work. Hopefully this is where we get started because I do not want to use the auto break even feature.
I only partly understand how this works.
It appears it gives me 3 chances for a trailing stop kind of instead of just clicking 2 or 3 times and setting a real trailing stop.
I have a stop loss, lets say I want to enter 15, a frequency <I have no Idea what to put> and a profit target that I don't want to use.
So how do I make this work as a trailing stop.
I don't mind being able to tighten the trail as profits rise and that's probably a good feature but I want to start off with a trailing stop like every other platform in existence has.
I want to be able to do a real trailing stop from the chart trader that I actually use instead of the Super Dom also.
Help me out here and bring some sanity into Ninja Trader 7.
