Hey man, we're all in this trading thing together and most of us have been there and done that, hence our constructive comments.

What I will do for you is create an ATM that will;

Enter 10 contracts. Locate a single contract (for profit) every 2 ticks. Essentially your last contract will be located 20 levels/ticks of DOM from your entry location. I'll locate your stop 20 ticks from your entry and get it to trail by 4 ticks for every 2 ticks of price movement in your direction.

I am not saying from a trading perspective this is a good or bad thing in terms of risk/reward, but if it gets you a bit more familiar with how the ATM works, you can branch out further by yourself and adjust accordingly.

Awesome! Thanks a bunch!

Copy cskafan123_atm template.xml to NinjaTrader 8 > templates > AtmStrategy

Copy cskafan123_stop strategy.xml to NinjaTrader 8 > templates > StopStrategy

And ensure your setup looks like this.





Video of it in action attached.

Now, I did switch things up a little from what I said originally to hopefully help you understand how the auto trail in NT8 works. Just consider this an example. It can be achieved in other ways but this just shows what NT8 ATM can do with 3 steps of auto trial. You can literally handle your order in any fashion, plus this ATM gives price some breathing room.

For more information on what this does, refer to the NT8 help on stop strategies here:
