Is there a way to break up a large order into a blast of smaller orders on NinjaTrader? Their ATM appears to be all-in/scale-out construct based on different price levels. But I'm talking about, say, if you want to go long 200 contracts of something at such-and-such a price, it'll break it up into, say, 10 separate orders. Anyone? Thanks

A common technique used by discretionary traders is scaling in and scaling out of a position. To scale out of a position refers to closing a portion of your position when you hit a profit target and then raising your stop to close your remaining portion later.

Key concepts in this example:
Submitting Profit Target orders
Submitting Trailing Stop orders
Closing half of your position at a time

Thanks for the response. I'm looking to scale in as well as scale out. Is this not really doable on NinjaTrader?
