I'm experimenting with simple basic strategies in NinjaTrader and I was wondering if anyone knows if there's a way to only run the automated strategy until a total profit (PnL) is reached.
So instead of buying/selling for however long it wants, it just stops if I hit $50.00. And if it goes negative $50 it also stops.
I can't seem to find if this is a condition/variable within NinjaTrader Strategy Builder.

Probably ... with the conditions (In the 'Strategy' folder): UnrealizedPnL and RealizedPnL, along with user variables.
