As you can see on the chart...upper & bottom handles are movable...the one in the middle CANNOT BE MOVED...I almost broke the screen on my laptop...whenever I place an order and price goes the opposite way...I am trying to move the middle handle...but it's NOT MOVING!!!...I contacted Ninjatrader support...they were NO HELP..I am getting more & more frustrated!!!...anyone has same problem?...is there any other trading platform on the market where I can freely move that "place order" handle after the fact?...please help!
you cannot move it, that is your entry price (the price you purchased the contracts), you cannot change the price you purchased the contracts, the number that changes is the difference in price in relation with that entry price. If it goes green means that the market price is above your entry (if long) or red if the market is below your initial entry (if long), reverse if short. The things you move is either the profit target and/or the stop.
I think you are confusing Ninja Trader functions. If you purchase an item at $10 and manage to sell it at $15 you make money ($5 dollars profit). If you can only sell it at $8 you lose some money ($2 net loss). But you cannot change the fact that you paid $10 originally (unless you do time travel) for it and all the profit or loss of is based on the original price. Are you trying to sell before it hits the stop? If so use the CLOSE button on the DOM or the Chart Trader. What do you mean you are losing money, can you explain further?
That line with a box with a 1 and $profit/loss value is just a historical marker of the original entry price.

what I meant was... that whenever I place a trade and it goes the wrong way...I would like to move that middle handle where it was suppose to be..but it just not moving...and the more price goes the wrong way the more frustrated I get...and I am starting to hate that middle handle...

Wish I could move my entry point when the market moves against me too 
Based on this feedback, we are in the process of adding this new feature to NinjaTrader Version 7. It will be called, AEA (Automatic Entry Adjustment). The way it will work is that if the market goes against you, your entry price is automatically adjusted with the market price as it goes against ensuring that you are at worst case, breakeven.

well first post, but already a classic thread on the forums here i guess, lets get this coded out and on to some private islands filled with girls serving the right drinks
you should learn trading business first then trade.
