Trail Stop Type
Trail your stop as price moves into profit — many methods beyond regular ATMs.
The Trail Stop Type sets how your stop loss automatically trails as price moves into profit — helping capture profit and prevent a winning trade from going back into the red. Predator X offers Several Trail options not available in regular NinjaTrader ATMs.
Trails the high/low of each new candle. Choose how many candles back it trails and the offset from the selected candle's high/low.
Uses the current ATR period and a user-defined multiplier to determine how far it trails. Trail at the close of a candle, or update continuously as the bar forms.
Uses the ParabolicSAR indicator to trail your stop. Select the ParabolicSAR period and an offset from that value.
The most like a regular ATM trail stop. Choose how often the stop moves up and how far it sits each time based on Tick Distance.
Trails your stop based on the Super Trend indicator. Choose the period and offset to trail.
Note: Requires the SuperTrend to be loaded on the chart for this to work.
Trails your stop based on risk-to-reward. Choose the offset, frequency, and profit trigger to customize.
Set your trail stop to any indicator plot:
- 'Show Historical Trades' must be OFF (works only in Real-Time / Market Replay).
- Your indicator plot must be on the chart BEFORE enabling the Predator.
- After enabling, wait for a price change (when your PNL shows).
It will appear in the Stop Loss and Trail Stop drop-downs. Use the Split Stop Loss button for different stops Long vs Short.
Defines when the trail stop starts — once price moves this distance into profit, trailing begins. Default is 1 tick (starts almost right away). Increase the distance to start trailing later.
