you will find 3 or 4 of them there...if you want to get creative google volume stops for ninjatrader, or vwap or cwap or twap stops for ninjatrader. on and on... just keep digging to you find what you are looking for. there seems to be no end to it.
I really appreciate the resource. Just getting started with this endeavor. No, I'm not a programmer, and not really interested in becoming one in full force. Just a newbie part time trader that does not want to watch screens all day, or let my emotions rule the decision making process. Not looking for a magic fix, but something more manageable in the way of a rules based system that doesn't alter it's approach because of indecision.
look a blood hound see if they have what your looking for. i thought you were looking for a better way to trail your stop. auto trading is a different animal ... ever time i try working with that my back test looks grate then it blows up when deployed.
To get started programming in NinjaTrader, try just "unlocking" the code to a strategy that you have built with the Strategy Wizard to see how the basic syntax works.
No reason for code, the software makes it easy. Suggest you play around with the wizard and use simulated data feed to get familiar with the software. You will want to modify your strategy, and getting familiar with the wizard is essential.
This is supposed to go in the File Sharing section, but don't know how to do it, as it's not possible to open a new thread.

I think everyone can agree that day trading can easily be described as a dream job. Naturally, this is only the case if you are making money, but nonetheless trading gives you unparalleled freedom and control over your own destiny.

That is what I do for my automated strategy. My strategy looks for the proper setup conditions and then is passes the order to an ATM to handle the exit. Your original strategy can keep on running in tandem and can cancel the order before it is filled or close the trade based on an indicator while the ATM handles the stops.
There is sample code in in the demo strategy called 'SampleAtmStrategy' included with ninja trader. Just open it up and see how it works. I find it much easier to let the ATM control the trailing stops and targets but you cannot backtest this way. You'll need a separate strategy that doesn't use ATM to backtest.
I've been playing around with that exact strategy, but it's set up for a long entry only. I was able to figure out how to set up the short entry, but not both within the same strategy. As a separate strategy. The parameters to enter in that template are simply close(0)>close(1) if I;m understanding the logic correctly. I'm not ninja script proficient; just starting out so struggling to get my conditions in lieu (close(0) >close(1) portion.
