I have chart trade mode on, and I open orders by right clicking and then choosing the appropriate order. Is it possible to open an order like that, and at the same time open a limit order and a stop order at predetermined tick distances, which will have been configured from the trade window? So to use attached orders? I have another question for attached orders. If I want to enter the market with just 1 contract, do I still need to change the contract size in the trade window, if I'm going to use attached orders? Remember I strictly want my position to be 1 contract. |

Yes. You just need to follow the instructions here: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/AttachedOrders.html#Instructions You just need to enable the Use Attached Orders option on the Trade Window for the chart.

You do need to set the Order Quantity on the Trade Window to 1.
