Hi, I've come over from Multicharts and trying to work out how in Sierra I can build automated scaling in for thinner markets - eg I place a manual long buy order at 4000. If this gets filled and goes in my favour I'd like to add in a second contract say two ticks higher than the first and then move the stops to breakeven for each one when it is say ahead by four ticks. I'm really struggling as to whether the spreadsheet system is the right place for this or not. Any guidance would be appreciated. I understand that if I manually did it any automated targets and stops would apply to the second contract if I selected that in the DOM Menu but I just can't find out how to automate adding in the second contract, which would be really useful for thinner markets Thank You |

The move to breakeven for stops is supported. This is documented here: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_AttachedOrders.html Automating adding in a second position, could be done by using a Spreadsheet. You just need to be careful about checking the current position and working order quantity to make sure the order is only submitted once. You also need to set this auto trade variable: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_AutoTradeManagment.php#AllowMultipleEntriesInSameDirection Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.
