OK I have to be the worlds greatest simpelton but I am new to futures and have been a forextrader for a while. Everything was simple back then with SL and TP, but with futures it is cryptic.

I execute a buy order of 2 positions at market price - how the h*ell do I make a stop loss and take profit for those 2 positions?

Click here for the NinjaTrader 8 Help guide with all the answers you will need. To this day I read it most every month for one thing or another. Just hit F1 when the Ninja tool (Chart, Market Analyzer etc) you want help on has focus.

Also check out NinjaTraders YouTube....



Hope this helps and good luck. Please make sure to get to know your platform well before you risk capital.

What futures do you trade?
