I want to set up an ATM strategy that will do something like this:
- Go long a contract...
- Initial stop loss is 5 ticks...
- Stop loss auto raises 1 tick for each tick the trade moves in my
direction until it reaches BE (break-even)...
- When trailing stop has reached BE, it stops trailing, even though price keeps moving up...

hi,
i think this cant be done with ATM.
Trailing tick by tick is possible ( Stop Strategy : 5 -- 1 -- 1
but the problem is to stop the trailing if reached BE.

Hey Max...
The folks at NT forum showed me. Here's the steps in case you need it.
- Set the ATM Strategy to <Custom>
- 1 Contract
- Profit Target: 0 (set to desired PT)
- Stop Loss: 5
- Set Stop Strategy to <Custom>
- Then select a 2 step Auto Trail.
- Step #1:
- Profit trigger: 1
- Frequency: 1
- Stop Loss: 5
- Step #2:
- Profit trigger: 5
- Frequency: 99 (or any other high value that is unlikely to be reached)
- Stop Loss: 5

nice trick 
that means they install in Step #2 the rules :
if position has ran +5 in your direction
trail the stop (wich is at -5) every additional 99 ticks in your direction
and because you dont go for 99 ticks it will sit there till you go out manualy.
well - i am willing to learn new tricks day by day
