I screen record my sessions too. Generally because I like to watch them to learn from, but occasionally there is an trade execution I want to look back at and check.
I like https://www.flashbackrecorder.com/express/ and would recommend it (on my Windows PC), if you don't already have a program.
Flashback Express is the free version without editing which does the job for me.

Thanks.

I use the built-in Windows 10 recorder. It auto stops at 4 hours. So it must be restarted. It can record one particular window, even if it's in the background. So you can surf etc. without that surfing being included in the recording.

It just doesn't make any sense... If you were in a short position and your stop didn't trail but instead went up? that would never happen as someone has already pointed out that would put you at a bigger risk... sounds like maybe human error and you should accept it. I don't know, has that ever happened to anyone else?

^On that note, in Ninja Trader, you can customize to move your stops automatically after certain amount of ticks. Therefore, if the price moves x number of ticks with this feature set to run, your stops will move automatically as well.

OP, can you please confirm you DO NOT have this feature set? Thanks.

You can easily do this in NT; but it would trail, not move away.

Of course, you can code a stop to move anywhere you want, but this would take deliberate code. Code that's not built into NT.

But you can attach a stop to an indicator easily. If attached to a Bollinger band, for example, a stop can move away. But again, activating this would have to be a deliberate action.

A couple of times I have noticed that my stop loss orders move on their own. How is this possible. Say I am in a short and have placed my stop loss order on my chart, I suddenly see the order move up in the chart. What exactly do you think is happening in this situation? Thanks for your help.

I am late coming to this thread, but I read through the posts and I noticed that you never mentioned the trading platform or the broker or the service that is transmitting your trades.

The only possible sources of this behavior would seem to be:

1) the platform (Ninja 7 or 8, Sierra Chart, etc.)
2) the broker
3) the data provider/trade routing service (CQG, Rithmic, etc.)

If you can specify each of these, at least it would give people something more to go on. As it is, we just know it happened on YM, which is not a lot of info.

Also, all of the above parties should have logs of whatever they processed, some of which might be available to you on the platform, but which they could go back and check if they researched an event. If you have a specific event to report to them, I think you should expect a response.

This is certainly an odd thing, but more information is needed for anyone to have an idea that might help. And ultimately, it is the responsibility of your broker to accurately process your trades, so inquiries to the broker or the other parties who handle the trade would be the best way to go. I think you would need a specific and recent instance to give them, though.

I hope you get to the bottom of this.

Bob.
