Move stop loss after profit target is reached

August 27th, 2015, 06:40 PM

Is it possible to move my stop loss after a profit target is reached? For example if I have 2 contracts going long with 1 target at 10 ticks and 1 at 25, when the first one hits it's target, move the stop loss to break even.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I am only guessing you are talking about a trading platform, NinjaTrader, so I've moved your thread to the right section.

If you are in NInjaTrader, go into the Help and locate the topic for ATM (Automatic Trade Management). There is a prolonged discussion of stop rules that can be set to automatically trigger, including the case you are asking about.
