tbird Keller, Texas Elite Member Experience: Intermediate Platform: NinjaTrader Trading: ES Posts: 13 since Feb 2012 Thanks Given: 44 Thanks Received: 7	Is it possible to move my stop loss after a profit target is reached? For example if I have 2 contracts going long with 1 target at 10 ticks and 1 at 25, when the first one hits it's target, move the stop loss to break even. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I am only guessing you are talking about a trading platform, NinjaTrader, so I've moved your thread to the right section.

There is a prolonged discussion of stop rules that can be set to automatically trigger, including the case you are asking about. Bob.
