NinjaTrader Tutorial - Placing Stop Loss & Profit Limit Orders

NinjaTrader Tutorial - Placing Stop Loss & Profit Limit Orders

In this ninjatrader trading tutorial I discuss how to setup simple stop loss and profit take limit orders using the ATM (Advanced Trade Management) tool from the chart trader function on the ninjatrader platform.

Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure:
Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.

Great straightforward and well taught tutorial.

Thank you for this video, SL and TP are quite confusing on Ninja Trader. It's all very clear now thanks again Paul.

[treasurehunt]

Thank you man. Exactly what I was looking for. This software is a little quirky but it's functional.

[BloodCovenant]

I wish you would have shown us how to separate the orders once placed. That way we could take the 2 profit target contracts and separate them and adjust one for early take profit and leave the other for a runner.

man i trade and have a fulltime job.. yesterday i accidently closed my OCO while in a position and realized i didn't know how to input it again!!! such an amateur mistake😞😞😞😞. went long on NQ at 13050 target was 13140 but had to stopout at 13080 cause i had to go to work and couldn't set a stop loss🤦🏾‍♂. thank you for this video. i'll ensure that never happens again!

[sciencewizard]

Thanks a lot. I'm glad you showed that specific method. Using a template, then adjusting it on the chart works well.

Is there a way I can visual see and drag a stop loss indicator BEFORE the order is filled? I don’t just want to create an atm for a 7tick stop loss, I want to put a buy limit order in and place my stop loss at a specific tick number before it’s gets filled and appears.

[microcapcoins]

great info..but for some reason i dont see any details when in click on position tab ?

[aksc.]

Hi, thank you for sharing.In that same example, how do you separate the two orders (that were executed using an ATM)? To have different profits or stop loss orders.

[MammeX]

Thank you sir I was looking this kind of video and I found out your video very helpful. Thanks sir🙏

[creativemanifestation]

20 ticks would be 5 points of ES? Correct?

[matthewspeelman]

What indicator are you using in this video

[YokNg]

is it possible to make it such that once my order is filled, this ATM strategy is also auto applied without needing me to click?

[bluerivvon]

Hey there, do you happen to have a spare license key from 2015 or earlier? If so how much would i be able to buy it for if possible. Thanks!

[richardnarvaez]

What type of indicatior is it? Green/red area?

[Abdullah-kcdx]

How do we get the takeprofit and stoploss limits to show "expected" profit and loss while the trade is open?

[marlonordonez]

can I Turn my PC off after I place a trade?

[RickyNelson-xd]

How do you trim contracts. Like say if I just want to sell 1 contract and hold a runner how do I do that?

[rafaeldomingomolinavivas]

Hello, is there a way that can split that contract in 2? so i can move like 2 different take profits and 2 stop loss?

[simplerick]

Why cant I click my stop to drag it up or down?
