    Having a trailing stoploss attached to an indicator, like SuperTrend, is a very important feature. This allows the profits a winner to run overnight. Please have an input for number of ticks above or below the indicator for trailing stop placement. Also, please allow this option in OCO orders. This setup has been key in NinjaTrader and very profitable.

    Hi, In my opinion, this capability is not only just a feature to help trader do more things in the chart, but also a key tool for psicotrading because it allows me to be not so stuck to the screen when I only need to adjust my stoploss or the profit exit as the corresponding indicator update at each bar closing.

    Please, also I have seen there are at least 2 features else registered here about 1 year ago but both 3 features are basically the same, so the votes for them could be put together.

    Thank you in advance!, it would be absolutely great and useful if this feature could be added it.

    Markets move so violently. Attaching a stop loss to an indicator is essential for my trading.

    As mentioned this is a great feature of NinjaTrader and it would be so helpful for TopStep to incorporate it their trading platform.

    I use this feature in my trades on a daily basis. Markets move to fast to manually execute at times.

    Topstep’s risk management tools are awesome.

    Integrating this logic into the risk management trailing stop would be amazing.

    I am very pleased with the platform…

    A game changer for many of traders.

    i love to attach my stop to a moving average on Ninja Trader, it helps me objectively manage my trade with out emotions, one of the greatest weaknesses is holding trades too long for me

    As a trader, as part of my risk management. I would like to add my trailing stop linked to an indicator that i use for my trading(ex: 20 EMA/34 EMA) + distance(5 ticks). Ex: If price crosses 5 ticks below 34 EMA/Parabolic SAR/Super Trend on that time frame, I would like to exit out of current active position by stopping out. This is a great feature on Ninja Trader.
