I need some help building an ATM for trailing a position once in profit. I understand the profit target and stop loss. It’s the second NT8 step I don’t get. I trade the micros, let’s say a $100 profit, triggers the trailing ATM. The for every $25 in profit after that ($125), trail it in, $150, trail it in again. Repeat until we’re stopped out. How do I set up these parameters.
