. Is there a way on Sierra to set up the DOM so that in addition to the initial SL and TP being sent in automatically with the entry Sierra will also, during the trade, automatically move the SL to BE+1 when the trade is 7 ticks in profit and then automatically move the SL again to +6 when the trade is 10 ticks in profit? Thanks.
You need NinjaTrader for this.

Btw, I sure hope people new to both futures and DOM trading are learning on SIM accounts...

see if it works.. it will trail the stop if by some fluke it keeps going and doesn't retrace 4 ticks. Once it hits 10 it will close out at plus 6 though.

Test it yourself though.

It is an unsually uncooperative day & also very jumpy movement, which one can see in the DOM. I am +2 + 11 (both before the pit open), but "somewhat experimental" and passing on most setups.

I will look in again for the last hour into the Close.
