Often I use a fixed target (limit order) placed in advance if a reasonable technical level is around that price. But in a well-defined trending move, I generally watch the reaction and decide to hold for more or lock in 20 ticks. The earlier long trade from .54, I watched price break the HOD and it was a weak breakout close to a channel line, so I locked in 20 ticks. Sometimes I give back all or most of a 20-tick move by not using a hard target, part of the scalping game. Also, there are times of day when I specifically target 10-15 ticks, knowing that's all to be expected.
You don't know how much I miss QT for being able to draw trend lines across all the charts. I wish Ninja could do that.
Yes, I am pretty sure NT can't do that. I don't even remember TradeStation being able to do that. QT was/is one of a kind.
Right click on the TL , click properties, "Under Attach to" change to "all charts" That do what you're looking for ?
Let me know if you get this to work for NinjaTrader. I gave up trying to figure it out. It "will" draw the trendline on all charts, but it will not be in the correct location on the other charts. I posted to their forum once trying to figure it out, but I never got a solution. Horizontal lines work fine.
I've been using NT for years and didn't know it would do that. But Macattack is right. For trend lines they do not line up. Horizontal lines do line up though and that is a big help. Thanks!
EIA Oil Inventories due at 11 a.m. ET API on Tuesday showed a surprise rise in crude inventories of 500k barrels. I haven't been able to locate what the street expects.
