Set the cash you are willing to lose. Trade Assistant sizes the position, places entry, stop and target together, and manages the trade from the same panel.
An ATM strategy attaches a stop and target to your order, which is half the job. The quantity is still yours to choose, so the cash at risk changes every time the stop distance does.
Trade Assistant turns it round. You fix the cash, and the quantity follows the stop.
| 10 tick stop | $10.00 at risk |
| 40 tick stop | $40.00 at risk |
| Same quantity, risk | 4 times larger |
Set the cash you are willing to lose with the plus and minus buttons, on the panel or on the bracket itself. Trade Assistant reads your stop distance and the instrument's tick value and gives you the size, every time, before you place anything.
Move the stop and the size updates with it. Your starting risk comes from the settings, and the panel shows what you stand to lose and to make, in cash and in ticks.
| Cash at risk | $200.00 |
| Stop distance | 40 ticks |
| Tick value | $0.50 |
| Risk per contract | $20.00 |
| Contracts | 10 |
Stack limit orders below the market for a better average price. They all share a single stop and a single target, and those grow to cover exactly what has filled.
When the stop or target is hit, any ladder orders still waiting are cancelled for you. Nothing is left behind to fill later by surprise.
| Limit 1 | 3 filled |
| Limit 2 | 3 filled |
| Limit 3 | 4 waiting |
| Stop and target cover | 6 contracts |
Entry, stop and target are lines on the NinjaTrader chart. Drag them to shape the trade. What you see is what gets placed.
Market, stop or limit. Every entry goes in with its stop and target attached, and when one fills the other is cancelled.
Move the stop to break-even, switch on a trailing stop, close half or three quarters, or add protection to a position opened elsewhere.
