Stop fumbling with stops in the middle of a move. BreakEven Trail™ protects your trade in one click — then trails it automatically, tick by tick.
The Problem
Every active futures trader knows this moment — and the painful options NinjaTrader gives you.
One pixel off and you've moved it to the wrong level. In a fast market, that's real money.
Right-click → Modify → type price → confirm. By then the market has moved.
No commission offset. No trailing. No OCO management. One action and you're done.
Manually modifying a stop while an ATM is running can create duplicate orders or break the OCO link.

Features
Engineered for speed and reliability. Every click is intentional — no menus, no popups, no configuration wizards. Whether you search for "break even stop" or "breakeven stop," this is the only NinjaTrader 8 Indicator that combines it with an intelligent trailing stop.
One click moves your stop to entry + your configured offset. Set it to 0 for exact BE, or 2 ticks to cover commissions. The first click always anchors to break even.
Each click after the first moves the stop +offset ticks from its current position — not from entry. Respects manual stop moves. Trails forward only, never backward.
Your profit target stays active and OCO-linked. If the stop triggers, the target cancels. If the target hits, the stop cancels. Automatically. Every time.
Works seamlessly with ATM strategies and manual orders. Detects and replaces existing stops without breaking your target or your OCO link.
Set offset from −99 to +99 ticks. Negative offset (BE−N) lets you reduce risk in stages even before reaching break even — the button turns amber to warn you the stop is still in loss territory. Each click always trails toward profit. Adjust anytime mid-trade.
A subtle beep confirms each trail move. Silent when the stop can't advance (already at target level). No unnecessary noise.
Enable AutoTrail and the stop follows the market automatically — no clicks required. The checkbox stays locked until you fire the first manual BET click, then turns green and takes over. Trails only when in profit, never backward.
Three layers of protection in fast markets: normal stop → emergency stop at a configurable distance if the market gaps (default 20 ticks, adjustable per instrument) → market close as last resort. The panel alerts you in real time. No more naked positions.
Never duplicates orders. 500ms guard against double-clicks. Never cancels a stop if placement would be invalid. Works on live and simulation accounts.
The status label shows your current stop price, locked profit in ticks, and the next trail target — all in real time, updated on each click.
Your configured offset persists across positions in the same session. Open a new trade and the offset is already set to where you left it.
How It Works
Here's exactly what BreakEven Trail does in each situation you'll encounter as a trader — including staged risk reduction with negative offsets.
You're long at 100. Price is at 110. You press the button with offset set to 2. Your stop moves immediately to 102 (entry + 2 ticks). Your profit target stays where it is. If you had an ATM strategy, the old stop is cancelled and a new OCO-linked stop is placed at 102. The status label shows: ✅ SL: 102 🔒+2t
First click = Break EvenPrice continues higher to 115. You press the button again. The stop moves from 102 to 104 (current stop + 2 ticks). Each subsequent click trails the stop +2 ticks from its current position. The button label shows the current locked ticks and where the next click will move the stop.
Each next click = Trail +offset ticksYou manually drag your stop to 98 (below break even). The next click reads your current stop at 98 and moves it to 100 — back to break even. The trail counter resets. BreakEven Trail always reads the current market stop position, not an internal memory of where it last placed it.
Always reads current stop positionWith offset at 0, the first click moves the stop to your exact entry price. Subsequent clicks do nothing and show a warning — there's no meaningful trail distance at 0 ticks. If you manually move the stop below BE and click again, it snaps back to exact entry. If your stop is already at or above BE, it does not move backward.
Protects at exact entry, no trailYour stop is at 105 (above entry at 100). You accidentally click with offset = 0. BreakEven Trail detects the stop is already in positive territory and does nothing. It shows a warning instead of moving the stop backward to entry. Your locked profit is preserved.
Never moves stop backwardEverything works symmetrically for short trades. You're short at 100 with offset 2. First click places the stop at 98 (entry − 2 ticks). Each subsequent click trails down. BreakEven Trail detects position direction automatically and applies the correct math.
Long and short positions supportedIf you click the button with no active position on the current chart, BreakEven Trail does nothing and shows a status message: "No active position." Completely safe to click at any time.
Safe with no positionAfter your first BET click, AutoTrail is available as a checkbox on the panel. Enable it and the stop follows the market automatically — no further clicks needed. It trails every second, only when the stop is already in profit, and only moves it forward, never backward.
AutoTrail starts locked (amber border) until the first manual BET click arms it — this prevents accidental activation before break even is set. Once armed, you can toggle it on or off at any point during the trade.
Tip: use AutoTrail after a strong initial move to lock in profit automatically while you focus on the next setup.
🤖 First BET click required to arm · Trails only in profitWhen AutoTrail fires in a fast-moving market, there is a brief window between cancelling the old stop and submitting the new one. If the market moves sharply against you in that gap, BET activates a 3-layer protection system:
Layer 1: Places the stop at the calculated trail level — handles most situations.
Layer 2: If Layer 1 fails (gap too large), an Emergency Stop is placed at a wider configurable distance (default 20 ticks, adjustable per instrument in the Indicator settings). Panel turns orange.
Layer 3: If even that fails, BET executes a market close to exit the position entirely. Panel turns red.
In normal market conditions Layers 2 and 3 are rarely triggered. They exist so you are never left with a naked position regardless of market speed.
🛡️ 3-layer protection · Configurable emergency distanceYou're long at 4000 but price hasn't recovered to break even yet. Your original stop is at 3980 (−20 ticks). You set the offset to −10 and click. The stop moves to 3990 (BE−10) — still a loss if stopped, but half the original risk. The button and panel turn amber to warn you the stop is below break even.
Next click: stop moves to 4000 (exact BE) — amber disappears. Next click: 4010 (BE+10) — button turns green, you're locked in profit. You never had to touch the offset. Each click always advances |offset| ticks toward profit, automatically.
Works identically for short positions. Snap logic applies: if your stop is worse than the target level, the next click snaps to that level rather than adding on top.

⚠ FUTURES TRADING RISK WARNING
Futures trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not appropriate for all investors. You may lose some or all of your invested capital. Only trade with capital you can afford to lose entirely.
BreakEven Trail is a trade execution tool only. It does not provide investment advice, trading signals, or any form of financial guidance. All trading decisions are the sole responsibility of the trader.
Past performance — whether real or hypothetical — is not indicative of future results.
You can lose your entire trading account. Never risk funds you cannot afford to lose. Futures are leveraged instruments and losses can exceed your initial margin deposit.
Futures contracts control large notional values with small margin requirements. While leverage amplifies potential gains, it equally amplifies losses — a small adverse move can wipe a large portion of your account.
Markets can move rapidly and unexpectedly due to economic data, geopolitical events, or liquidity gaps. Stop orders — including trailing stops — are not guaranteed to execute at your specified price in fast markets.
Software, connectivity, or platform failures can prevent order execution. BreakEven Trail requires NinjaTrader 8, a stable internet connection, and a properly configured brokerage connection. Always have a manual exit plan.
Futures trading is regulated by the CFTC and NFA in the United States. Regulations, margin requirements, and trading rules can change. Ensure you understand the regulatory environment applicable to your jurisdiction.
No tool eliminates the need for a sound trading plan and risk management discipline. BreakEven Trail automates a mechanical action; it cannot protect you from over-leveraging, chasing losses, or trading without a defined edge.
Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones' financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect trading results.
