Your NinjaTrader 8 strategy runs while you are away. If an entry fills and no stop goes in, Protect (paid) attempts to close it.

Paid: Protect. Once it has watched your strategy and you accept its report, Protect attempts to close a position left without a working stop, to cancel orders left working when no strategy runs, and, at your set end time, to disable your strategy, close open positions and cancel orders (NinjaTrader stays open). It confirms each action from NinjaTrader’s own log. It makes no promise about any outcome.

Free: Watch and the Safety Scan. Watch reads NinjaTrader’s log and alerts you when a position has no working stop, the connection drops with a position open, or NinjaTrader goes down in your session window. On its own, Watch never sends an order. The Safety Scan reads your PC’s NinjaTrader logs (up to 30 days) and lists where they show a position with no working stop.

What it does not catch: an ordinary losing streak with stops in place, or a working stop that fills far past its price in a news spike. Protect stays off for ATM strategies and for slow or missing stops. It cannot tell your hand-placed trades from the strategy’s: keep the account for the strategy.
