hey. i would like to know if there's an option to set a bracket order to move the stop to a new stop price if after entering the order, for example, price move against me x ticks, the original stop that was set to , lets say 20 ticks, when price move against me 12 ticks, the stop will move automatically to -15. thanks.

Have a look at the different types of Stops you can use here:

Also the way this is described, it does not make sense to us. When you say -15, do you mean to a price level which would be a profit? This does not make sense if the price has moved against your position 12 ticks.

No.what i ment is that if price is moving against me, and i want the bracket order to move automaticaly my stop from lets say -5 points to -3 points.my problem is that i have an initial stop of 5 points,which i dont realy want to take,just puting it there away from the market.but if price is moving against me,lets say 2 points,i want the stop to move auto. From -5 points stop to -3.is that posible? Its not about trailing stop in a positive trade.

I see..... is it posible to put this feeture into sierra? I think it will be verry usefull. Many traders are strugeling,as my self, to move their stops to the failure point when needed. They dont want to put their initial stop to closely when executing a trade, but if the market is moving against them,they have hard time moving their stops to the right place,and that feature can help with that issue.i hope you will consider that feature.i think SC is a grate platform,and still, can make it even gratter.thanks for considering.

Kind of sounds like the Move to Breakeven functionality could encompass this. We will think about this.

We might be able to add something basic like this into the next release assuming we understand it correctly.

In the latest prerelease, there is a Negative Offset in Ticks Triggered Action Type for Move to Breakeven stops which has been added.
